The use of old coins as fashion jewelry
is not unknown to many. In ages past,
the art of curving these metals to be
used as fashion jewelry was a
groundbreaking development in
style, and it often comes back. 
For decades now, people have taken
riches like gold, silver, and copper
coins, as well as other family
valuables, and had them made into
pendants, rings, bracelets, or even
earrings.
Old Coins Make Perfect Unique,
and Classy Pieces of Jewelry
Nearly all cut coin charms are hand-
made and refined individually. This
makes each piece unique because
there is no real bulk production in this
kind of process. 
The designers are very cautious in
completing their work, and they
normally take lots of time and effort
to do it perfectly. 
They sculpt and finish every coin as if
it were the only one they were
designing. You can also request a
special order using your very own old
coins and they will carve it into
unique, elegant jewelry.
However, if you are fond of making
accessories by yourself, then you can
use your very own old coins and
design them into jewelry. 
The art of establishing remarkable
and fascinating designs is normally a
matter of finding the best items for
your assortment of supplies.
A thrift store often has a good stash of
beautiful old coins. If you are lucky,
you can find Italian Lire and other
foreign currencies.
These are more appealing and
enjoyable “jewels” compared to the
usual beads. 
Other materials used for crafting
pieces of jewelry like cutters, drills,
chains, cords, stones, beads, wood
pieces, and other decorative materials
are also excellent thrift store finds.
Are You Destroying a Precious,
Collectible Coin When You Turn
Them Into Jewelry?
Old coins have two separate values if
you’re comparing silver to gold. The
first is appreciated for the metal that
they contain, while gold has more
collectible value. 
You will not destroy the value of these
metals if you craft them carefully,
especially with a little advice from a
professional.
How Do You Create Fabulous
Jewelry Pieces Out of Old Coins?
Listed below are easy steps to create
fabulous jewelry using thrift store
finds like old coins.
To begin with, you must prepare all
the necessary materials. Get old coins,
a small drill, a rotary cutter with a
diamond bit, glue or paste, craft wire,
accessories like chain, cord, and the
like.
1.
After you have collected unique old
coins, choose those that are beautiful
and strong enough to be turned into a
wearable item. 
You can also add accessories like
feathers, stones, shells, beans, dice,
toys, metals, plastic tubing, and many
others.
2.
Try to discern which among these
lovely pieces can be used to create a
fabulous jewel. 
Think in terms of practicality, like
how can it be hung or strung from a
cord if you want to use it as a pendant,
as well as aesthetics, meaning how
good they will look after crafting.
3.
Think of various kinds of jewelry pieces
like necklaces, earrings, rings,
bracelets, and other fashionable styles
for inspiration.
Finalize how you will attach the item
to your proposed design, considering
the material’s properties. 
Soft items like plastic can be hung as a
pendant by drilling a hole on it.
Sturdy items like coins can be
processed using a rotary cutter with a
diamond cutting attachment. 
4.
You may also cover the item using a
spiral thick craft wire or use glue to
attach a jewelry cap with a hanging
ring.
It is best to use vibrant colored beads
with plastic or metal items. Stones go
well with glass or wood pieces.
Design jewels by matching old items
with the usual accessories. Take note
of the textures and shades and
coordinate them. 
5.
There are several ways to turn
excellent thrift store finds like old
coins into fine pieces of jewelry. 
Either way, this D.I.Y. project is the
perfect way to spend a Saturday
afternoon, and you might even want
to give them away as gifts or sell them.
