Nautical Jewelry - Coin Jewelry
My wife and I started making and selling nautical jewelry made from coins in the small resort town
of Lexington, Michigan located on Lake Huron in 1972. We started with cut out coin jewelry
made from real U.S. and world coins.
Nautical Jewelry - Gold & Silver Cut Coin Jewelry
To make our nauticl jewerly, a small hole is first drilled in the coin, then
a very fine jewelers saw blade is inserted through the hole and worked around
the coins design (figure), by hand, cutting away the background. Thus leaving
the coins figure floating inside it's outer edge (rim). The figure is then
selectively layered (by hand) in a brilliant and pure Gold & Silver. The
resulting cut outs are electrosealed with "Tarnavoid" to protect against tarnishing.
Nautical Jewelry - Gold & Silver Coin Jewelry
After a few years, we decided to add something different and unique to our
line of nautical coin jewelry. Gorgeous 2-toned Gold on Silver coins. These real coins
are first layered in pure Bright Silver, then the figures of each are highlighted
and brought to life with rich pure 24K Gold (this work is done by hand). This
breathtaking and exclusive work turns these coins into stunning and true works
of art. Each coin is hermetically sealed against wear in a clear, hard acrylic
coating.
