Coin Heart Flower Pendant made from Silver US Half Dollar Coin Money

Description

Whimsical Heart and Flower Pendant made from a vintage silver American half dollar coin and a dime. The dime is soldered to the half dollar. You can see the half dollar coin on the reverse side. It comes on a sterling silver bead chain. Please specify whether you'd like it to be 16", 18" or 20" long (in the note to seller section at checkout).

To make one of these pieces, the face is sanded off on one side of a coin (except for those pieces with the coin image on both sides). Then using traditional hammering and forging techniques, the shape is formed, the designs are implanted, and the piece is domed with a block and punches. Due to the substantial weight of the coins, there is quite a bit of labor involved. The piece is polished by hand and cast, using the lost wax method. The pieces are immersed in a blackening solution and polished, connected to other pieces and polished once again by hand. The finished piece of jewelry is cleaned and ready to be worn.
