Modern Cube Style

CUTE LITTE STERLING CUBES 
WITH SILVER US HALF DIME 
COIN EAR WEARS
1842 & 1856


Cute & Tiny Dangling Earrings

Shiny Sterling Silver Cubes

Copper Wire - Trade Beads

Two silver 'Seated Liberty' antique U.S. half dimes dated 1842 & 1856

These coins were 'previously holed' in that I did not make these holes
Sometimes I do make holes in coins but I prefer to find them with holes in them

These ear wears are pictured without the 'Ear Wires' which I have 
hand fashioned, de-burred and buffed also by hand, from PURE (.999) silver wire in 18G

I will post some pictures of my fabulous handcrafted ear wires

Big Moon Necklace

24.5 inches long, including the clasp. 
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.

Cute & Shiny "Man Chain"

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.
