Coin silver is made from a mixture of metals with a high pure silver content, often repurposing coins by melting them down. The coin silver components I work with are antiques from all of the world, ranging from 80-120 years old, found in India, Afghanistan, Ethiopia, and many West African countries such as Nigeria and Mali. The wear and patina of antique coin silver has informed much of my jewelry aesthetic over the years. The pieces are very special and rare.
Necklace pendant measures 2” and chain measures 18" long. The chain is delicate but sturdy and finished with a 9mm lobster claw clasp and a 7mm soldered ring. All findings used are oxidized sterling silver.
