Meran’s coin jewelry tells a story – the story of the coin’s life: each piece of jewelry has its own history and incarnation of life, by virtue of being originally an old coin.

Meran Shavit creates jewelry and Judaica from old and new coins in his charming studio in Old Akko. Meran Shavit came to coin art after years of working as a television documentary editor. The connection between coins and editing always seems to Meran natural in the way that both editing and coins tell a story. Today, Meran enjoys creating jewelry that combines history and fashion and tells a story about the wearer.
As the business began to develop, Meran and his friend Nissim set up an open jewelry studio called “Symbolic Jewels.” The name “Symbolic Jewels” describes how he feels about the work and the studio.
The studio allows guests a glimpse into the world of creation and experiences up close the process of Meran’s creation with the material with which he works.
Meran’s coin jewelry tells a story – the story of the coin’s life: each piece of jewelry has its own history and incarnation of life, by virtue of being originally an old coin.
“To me, this is the magic,” says Meran, “to take an old coin with all its different meanings, and give it a new and aesthetic identity, with beauty and meaning.”
