Handmade jewelry, part of my parents collection |
| 3/8/2010 6:08:07 AM |
 My parents always collected coins of every kind. My father put them in pill bottles and labeled them. I inherited them all. I never found any coins that were particularly valuable but they have a certain sentimental value to me. They did get me interested in using them to make handmade jewelry. I guess though that I am not exactly talented in this field and yet have become... Read More |

Transforming Old Shillings into a Coin Necklace |
| 2/24/2010 1:24:59 PM |
 After stumbling into a web retailer specifically focused on handcrafted coin jewelry, I got the urge to try something similar out for myself. I now understand why there are places that specifically deal in coin jewelry. It is no easy task to create a handmade bracelet or necklace as I learned firsthand. So without really knowing what I was getting into, I grabbed a large... Read More |

Chinese Coin Necklace is Favorite |
| 2/21/2010 11:42:38 AM |
My sister in law wears a lot of browns, oranges and olive greens. She has a big variety of chinese coin jewelry that she uses to embellish her outfits. Her look is distinctive, classy and very much her own. Lately she has been working on updating some of her wardrobe as she hasn't done a lot of her own shopping since the kids were born. I think a lot of us get into that... Read More |

Cash for Coin Jewelry |
| 2/5/2010 7:06:48 AM |
There seems to be a big push for selling gold and silver jewelry these days. I have noticed an on slaught of commercials tauting the advantages to selling one's gold for cash. When I drive around the city I have seen people holding signs that state they will pay out the highest rates for your gold coin jewelry. I saw this a lot just before the holidays but it is becoming... Read More |

I have a very old chinese coin necklace that is one of my favorite pieces of jewelry. I have had it since I was in High School. It is made of three chinese coins. They are round coins with a square center cut out of them. The coins are laced together with strands of leather. I have had to replace the clasp that holds the chinese coin necklace around my neck once as the... Read More |

A Coin Necklace Turned On The Light |
| 12/20/2009 7:40:03 PM |
When I was ten years old my grandfather bought my sister a coin necklace that made her absolutely special. My sister had been asking for a coin necklace for the longest time, because a large number of her friends had been sporting them for years. Time and time again my sister would ask for a coin necklace on almost every special occasion and for some reason people would... Read More |

 I 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... Read More

A vary unusual coin necklace. |
| 12/6/2009 5:39:33 PM |
My dad's hobby from the time he was a young man was collecting old coins and over the years he amassed quite a collection of coins from many nations. One of the more unusual coins in his collection was a 1934 coin he picked up while in Germany during World War II and made into a coin necklace. He, like many American soldiers who fought in the European Theater of this... Read More |

Making a coin necklace is fun |
| 12/6/2009 3:03:17 PM |
Coins generally represent money when most people think of them but often times various cultures and societies have minted some very beautiful works of art through coins. The reason is that coins aren't just for money - they often represent key cultural characteristics through artwork and historical depictions. They can truly be a tiny little window into the culture they... Read More |

Handmade Jewelry Is Easy To Find Online |
| 12/6/2009 1:42:52 PM |
 I love to shop online for all things. I have found that shopping on the internet is a great way to find and buy handmade jewelry. It can't really be found at the local retail store, so online is the best bet. There is so much handmade jewelry online, it astounds me! I enjoy taking an afternoon, curled up on the couch with a nice cup of tea, to shop on the internet for... Read More

Handcrafted Jewelry is Fun to Wear! |
| 12/6/2009 8:59:43 AM |
I like handcrafted jewelry because often they are one of a kind pieces. I enjoy going to art fairs and looking at all the pretty beads, coins and leather used in handcrafted jewelry. This is where I find most of my handmade jewelry.
One fair produced a very unique coin necklace that I really like. It is made with three coins spaced and separated with a knotted piece of... Read More |

I Adore Handcrafted Jewelry |
| 10/17/2009 4:42:15 PM |
I love handcrafted jewelry because you're essentially looking at the product of someone's energy, creativity and hard work. Although mass produced costume jewelry can be attractive and chic, handcrafted jewelry often gets the little tiny details right. It's the details that really show off the quality of an item which can help elevate it into the status of a work of art.
I... Read More |

The Chinese Coin Necklace |
| 10/16/2009 3:46:55 PM |
Years ago, one of my favorite necklaces was made with leather straps and chinese coins. The chinese coin necklace had three metal discs with holes in the shape of squares in the center. The leather strips were laced between those holes. The coin necklace was secured in the back with a leather loop that wound around another small circular piece of leather.
I wore that coin... Read More |

 Coin necklaces make a cool fashion statement. Right now coin jewelry of all kinds is very fashionable to wear. Each piece of handcrafted jewelry made using coins is unique, which many people find desirable. I know I love to wear unique jewelry, not something that can be picked up at the local retail store. I don't want to look like every other person on the street. I... Read More

I'm a big fan of handcrafted jewelry, it seems to be made with so much love. My friend is very talented at making handmade jewelry. The other day we were talking and I recommended she try to sell her pieces online. She said her mother also mentioned it and thought it would be a good way for her to bring in some extra income. She seems to make jewelry with... Read More |

Childhood Coin Necklace Never Looked this Historic |
| 9/18/2009 4:06:28 PM |
 Back in elementary school, one of the arts and crafts teachers held a class I remember to this day because my mom saved the coin necklace. She brought all us little kids together and set 12 inches of thick black thread and a handful of coins with little holes through the top portion she said she drilled at her workshop on a desk. They were meant to be good luck necklaces.... Read More |

Creating Luck with a Coin Necklace |
| 9/18/2009 2:36:02 PM |
 It is amazing how much artisanship went into the details embedded on the front and back of old coins. Just check out the picture of the Polish coin above. There is some serious detail in a silver coin, which probably doesn’t have to high of a value. I’m pretty sure the Polish coin in the picture above is not that old of a template. Go back thousands of years and those... Read More |

History Buffs Must Love Coin Jewelry |
| 9/18/2009 2:11:52 PM |
 Being a fan history myself, I bet coin jewelry is a gift just about anyone interested in the past would love to have. When I was taking history courses in college my favorite as weird as this sounds was Pirate History. After finding out about coin jewelry I was immediately reminded of the life of a pirate. Many of the copper or gold looking coins on this type of unique... Read More |
