Jewelry, Coins and Stories Worth Keeping
I have so many wonderful roles in my life including daughter, student, dentist, mother, and wife. In the process, I am lucky enough to have found my true passion. This passion has two different focuses that seem to meld easily into one...
The first part is from my father, Robert Truman, who brought me into the world of Numismatics or coin collecting. I remember sitting with him as a child trying to understand the doubled die on the tiny copper penny and well as the significance of the buffalo only having three legs on an old nickel. But it really came to my heart and to full fruition after we loaded his extensive collection into a U-Haul in September of 2023.
The Second is Jewelry, specifically Silpada Sterling Silver. I was a Silpada Design Representative with this company that was both created and controlled by amazing women. I loved the quality and it was so easy to sell because the jewelry is timeless and beautiful. I wanted the entire catalog contents, and I obtained it with hard work and lesions in direct sells and making friendships/contacts.
Further, the coins talk to me because I lose myself and all the daily stress when I what my dad called, "play coins”. This all came together at work when my hygienist suggested that I make a necklace with one of my father's coins. The necklace would keep the coins close to me to honor the memory of my father. It was with this impetus that I made my first coin pendant which holds a Silver Niue $2 Athenian Owl coin. This is even more special because my mother loved and collected owls.
I am blessed with a wonderful group of patients, four beautiful boys, and a loving husband who are supporting me in this new venture. With much support, it is my jewelry and coins that I am here to offer to you.
