All You Need To Know About Silver Coin Rings

By Michelle Howe


Silver coin rings are a very interesting bit of jewelery to wear, and they definitely make for some very thoughtful and willingly accepted gifts. What is special about them is that they have something to do with art, history and fashion all at the same time. They also carry with them an intense feeling of belonging to the nation, as they have been touched by so many different people, through the years, all across the country.

These days, the alloy used in mints is not the same as it used to be. Instead of using a lot of silver, less expensive metals are used now, which tend to oxidize with time and can leave marks on the fingers of the wearer of jewelery made out of them. However, pieces such as the Walking Liberty Half Dollar, the Franklin Half Dollar, the Kennedy Half Dollar, Washington Quarter Dollar or the Barber Half Dollar, which were cast before the change in composition was made, work very well for this kind of jewelery.

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.

Of course, if you have a specific piece in mind that you want to be used for the jewelery, most artists will oblige and use the same. Some ideas are coins that were minted in a certain year, in small quantities or are what you consider to be lucky.

A simple way to begin your journey towards owning such jewelery is to run a search online. Find sellers and artists in your area, and approach them. If there are none who are in your region, there are plenty of others you can resort to who sell silver coin rings online.
