Coin Jewellery

Coin Jewellery

We handle coins every day and rarely take a second glance at them except to see if we have change for the car park or can afford a small chocolate treat. Polished up coins make excellent jewellery and Coin Jewellery has been popular across the world for centuries.

Many of the coinsin Antique Jewellery we see today is from the Victorian era and the early 1900s. The coins can be incorporated into Jewelry in many different ways for example they can be pierced with a hole or set into a coin mount. The coins can be simply polished bright or enameled or the background cut away leaving just the design. You can find some coins where the design has been intricately enameled, these pieces are thought to have been made by apprentice enamelers practicing their skills.

During the Victorian era coins were regularly used as Love Tokens. The coins were polished smooth and then engraved with a name or initial. The coin would then be mounted as a brooch or charm .

The coins in coin jewellery can be antique, vintage or new. They can be gold or silver and from any country in the world.

Vintage Coin Jewellery can be seen as brooches, Rings, Pendants and charms or worn from a watch chain as a fob.
