Pictured is an old 60-year-old coin, hand 'cut-out', and placed on an 18" silver necklace. This coin was minted until the 1940's, just prior to the Roosevelt dime design like the current day coins.
The "Mercury" lady on the obverse is cut around by hand with a tiny jeweler's saw, by a steady hand of a craftsman of many years. A beautiful and historic coin gift. Date and coin condition will vary, but most are in the 1940's.
How was this piece of cut-coin jewelry made? First, a couple tiny holes have been drilled through the coin's obverse, and, using a fine-tooth hand saw the area around the lady, and within the rim, has been cut away leading to this very attractive coin jewelry.

Coin Facts: So-called "Mercury" dimes contain no mercury, nor do they depict the Roman messenger god. Adolph A. Weinman, was the designer and a noted sculptor who had studied under Augustus Saint-Gaudens. The obverse figure is a depiction of Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap (typically worn by freed slaves in the Roman Empire), symbolizing freedom of thought. It is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful designs ever to grace a United States coin.
