All You Need To Know About Silver Coin Rings

By Michelle Howe


Silver coin rings are a pleasure to wear, and a very welcome gift. They are available in more and more variety these days, and combine art and history wonderfully well. These tiny bits of metal have so much to tell, as they have likely travelled all over the nation, been handled and possessed by thousands and thousands of people and so on. Wearing them on your finger is like wearing something that is artistic and historically significant at the same time.

As the alloys used in manufacture of these objects has undergone change, only those which were minted before a certain date can be used for making jewelery. Any such jewelery you purchase in the United States of America will be made with vintage items such as the Walking Liberty Half Dollar, the Franklin Half Dollar, the Kennedy Half Dollar or the Washington Quarter Dollar. In some rare cases, the Barber Half Dollar may also be used.

As these half dollars and quarter dollars were all minted to be of different sizes, it is possible to purchase silver coin rings made out of them in different sizes. For both men and women, be they slight or otherwise, a beautiful piece of jewelery can surely be made by a number of talented craftsmen who operate in different parts of the country.

Such jewelery is not a new phenomenon, but it has been given new dimensions these days. Earlier, such jewelery was made to be smooth on all sides, as it was made by hammering the metal till it yielded and wore down to the right size. This meant everyone could make such jewelery at home, though it took quite some effort and time, and the end result was not really remarkable.

A simple search online will show you that these types of rings are much more tastefully done and intricately worked now. They are made in ways that retain the writing and pictures that were on the original, making the jewelery a true recorder of history.

If you badly want such jewelery, but do not know where to obtain the raw material required for its making, you can be at ease. Most artists who work with such jewelery have their own stash of dollars that you can choose from and have incorporated into your accessory. It is a good idea to pick dollars that were made in a year in which someone was born or was married, have these made into jewelery, and gift it to them.

If you want a particular item to be used as the base for the jewelery, chances are, the artists will be okay with that. You may use a coin that you consider lucky or one that is rare and give it to the jewelery makers to have them fashion it for you.

To find makers of such jewelery in your region, you can simply look online and then visit them in person to talk about your new jewelery. A number of sellers also ship silver coin rings that you place an order for right to your home.
