Ancient beauty for modern day times. This Michael Jensen statement necklace features three bronze Judean coins with their history "etched in stone". The center coin is a bronze prutah, Jerusalem mint, AΓPIΠA BACIΛEWC (King Agrippa), with a design showing an umbrella-like canopy with fringes; reverse three heads of barley between two leaves. 

Agrippa was son of Aristobulus and Bernice, a grandson of Herod the Great. He spent his boyhood at the imperial court in Rome. His friend Caligula bestowed former territories of Philip and Herod Antipas. Claudius bestowed Judaea. He had James, the brother of John, executed (Acts 12:1-2) and imprisoned Peter (Acts 12:3-5).
