coin necklace, handmade jewelryI love to give unique, one-of-a-kind gifts to my friends and family.  Coin necklaces are just that, unique, really cool gift items.  I did a search for coin necklaces and was amazed at how many great choices there are.  They seem to be coming back into fashion, partly because they are handmade jewelry which is totally hip right now.  The coins that are on a thin leather strap are my favorite, they just look super cool.  I have some friends who are into trying to stay up with trends, so I might get each one of them a necklace like that this year for Christmas.  I just know that they would both love the gift, and wear it often.  It's so fun to have a piece of jewelry that is different from what is found at the local mall.  People stop and ask where the item was purchased and comment on how cool it is.  I love to shop online for these coin necklaces, because it saves time, money and frustration.  I don't mind avoiding the stores at this time of year, with the crowds and rude shoppers!
