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.
