British Virgin Island 1 Cent "Green Throated Caribbean and Antillean Crested Hummingbird" Two Tone Coin Cut Out with 18" Chain from J&J Coin Jewelry

Product Description

Real 1973 to date minted coin cut out. This coin is smaller than a U.S. dime and is made of bronze.

First, a small hole is drilled into the coin, then a very fine jeweler's saw blade is inserted through the hole and worked around the coin's design, cutting away the background, thus leaving the coin's figure floating inside its outer edge. The figure is then selectively layered in brilliant gold and silver. All of this work is done by hand.

Each work of art comes in a jewelry box on a copper rope chain layered in 14K gold.

This small coin makes an exquisite necklace! Don't know how they can cut out most of the coin without breaking it. Fantastic quality ... it looks just like the picture. I love it so much that I just ordered another coin necklace with a different picture. No one would know this is a real coin unless you show them the reverse side with part of a person's face behind the large bird. What a great way to make beautiful jewelry!
