Half Dime Earrings

CUTE DANGLING HALF DIME

EAR WEARS

With Handcrafted Pure Silver Ear Wires

CLICK THE PIC TO MAKE IT BIG - CLICK IT AGAIN TO MAKE IT BIG TIMES TEN

These lil' cute danglers are hand crafted with two slightly damaged Half Dimes, one of them - a famous Capped Bust variety - is in good enough condition to show a very clear date of 1835 (the year of the Texas Revolution) and the other - a Seated Liberty variety - is in a lower grade condition showing no date.

These are not collector grade coins, obviously, but they are pretty relics, don't you agree?

These Half Dimes were 'previously holed' in that I did not create the holes, they were created sometime in the past. Coins were holed for a variety of reasons: to wear as jewelry, or to hang somewhere for good luck.

So here they are to be worn as jewelry and to bring good luck :)

The Ear Wires are hand fashioned from pure solid silver (.999 percent Ag) - not sterling silver (which is only .925 pure) - and they are carefully de-burred and buffed by hand for a very comfortable fit.

The wrapping wire is pure copper and the beads are glass trade beads.

Handmade with 18G copper wire, blue disk Czech Glass beads and brick red stripped Pony Beads from the American Indian Trade. Focus is an antique silver U.S. quarter of the Seated Liberty type, pre civil war, exact date unknown (the coin had two holes punched in it) however since it's missing the "In God We Trust" we know it's pre civil war, U.S. silver quarters had that motto added after the civil war.

A Cute & Shiny "Man Chain" (I don't know what else to call it) handmade with 18G copper wire and clasp and Pony Beads that were used in the Indian trade in North America a long time ago.
