Someone I know lost his home in a fire. He found two coins that survived the fire, and he sent them to me to turn into a wedding ring set for him and his Fiancée.

This was a really cool project. The coins that he sent me had obvious signs of fire damage. Rather than trying to remove the fire damage, I highlighted it in the final design as a reminder of what the coins had survived. It's a sad story, but it has a happy ending because they were able to move on and I was able to make him and his fiancée a nice set of wedding rings! Let me know what you think.

My customer lost his home in a fire. He found two coins that survived the fire and sent them to me. I turned them into a wedding ring set for him and his Fiancée.

This is by far the most amazing coin ring project that I've worked on so far. The coins that he sent me had obvious signs of fire damage. Rather than trying to remove the fire damage, I highlighted it in the final design as a reminder of what the coins had survived. It's a sad story, but it has a happy ending because they were able to move on and I was able to make him and his fiancée a set of wedding rings that will last them forever!

Silver Spanish 5 Pesetas Coin Ring 1876

I really liked the look of this coin and I haven't seen too many people try to turn it into a ring, so I decided to try it. I'm a sucker for pirate coin rings, and this has a similar style, despite being minted about 100 years after the infamous Spanish "pieces of 8" Reales coins. The details came out fairly clean and I really like the "plus ultra" pillars of Gibraltar. Let me know what you think.

Silver Peruvian Un Sol Coin Ring 1892

I wanted to add a South American coin ring to the ones that I make, so this is the one that I chose. I really like the design of this coin, and it looks like something especially designed to turn into a ring. Let me know what you thing.

Would this be too controversial?

I’ve been thinking of new high end coin rings to make for my shop recently, and I just stumbled across the Seated Liberty Dollar coin. Nice ones sell for about $400+ each and there are about 80k of them left in existence (probably only 20k or less nice ones). No one is currently making these into rings right now. I’m seriously considering making one into a ring. I’d only be using coins made after 1860 - most likely the 1870 ones.

I have no problem if this stirs up a bit of controversy, but I don’t want it to be super controversial to the point where it hurts my shop. I’m sure the coin collectors will be appalled, but I’m not sure about most people looking to buy a coin ring.

What do you think? Is this going too far or do you think there’s enough demand and value to justify doing this?

UPDATE - I just bought an XF grade coin. I'm going to be making it into a ring and posting it on this sub, as long as there aren't any major problems.

World War 1 Coin Ring Set

I put this set together about 6 months ago, but never posted it anywhere. These are 5 large coins from around the pre-World War 1 era that would have been used as currency at the time. There is one ring for each of the major war powers at the time: Britain, France, Russia, Germany, and Austria.

Each one of these coins looks great on it's own, that is very particular to that era. Let me know what you think.

Gold Plated Pirate Coin Ring

I already made this ring in silver, so I thought it would be interested to gold plate it. It’s not amazing, but I like how it looks. Let me know what you think.

Seated Liberty Half Dollar Coin Ring 1876

This coin cost a pretty penny to buy in Extra Fine (XF) condition. I haven’t seen many other people make a ring out of this coin. Let me know what you think.

Morgan Dollar Coin Napkin Ring

I don’t know if anyone’s thought of this idea before, but I decided to try making a napkin ring out of a silver Morgan dollar. It worked well. The final ring is a bit smaller in diameter than a regular napkin ring, but it should still work. Let me know what you think.

2 Ozt Copper Aztec Calendar Coin Ring

This is another massive 2 ozt coin ring that I made, but I like how it turned out. I like it a bit better than the 2 ozt copper buffalo nickel that I made earlier. The details are a lot clearer than smaller aztec rings because the ring is so large.

My Etsy sales have been super slow since Father’s Day. Is anyone else having this issue?

The beginning of June was going really great, but the past week and a half has been super slow. Is anyone else having this issue? For reference, I sell handmade jewelry.

I can almost hear the crickets at this point. I had a backlog of orders for over a month and finally finished it, but I’m just looking forward to things finally getting busy again.

Tiny Size 5 “Fat Tire” Morgan Dollar that I made for a customer

I wasn’t sure how it would turn out, but I like it.
