Indian Head Coin Earrings, Antique Copper Turquoise Handmade Jewelry

 

The "Pretty Pennies" handmade earrings feature antique Indian Head copper pennies, coral orange czech glass discs and genuine turquoise - unique jewelry for the woman who loves old coins.

Created from authentic Indian Head copper pennies from over 100 years ago, the fun, one of a kind PRETTY PENNIES earrings are perfect for the woman who collects coins, who wants to own a bit of numismatic history or just loves unique handmade jewelry! The earrings feature two sided Indian Head pennies (also called an Indian Head cent), one dated 1893 and one the other is from 1901. The copper coins were lightly polished to bring out the fabulous detail on both the front and the back.  As you can see from the photos, there is some wear on the pennies, a few dings and scratches that’s not unusual from pennies that date that far back.  To add an unexpected pop of rich color, two coral orange Czech glass discs are stacked above each penny. Since the discs have a silver metallic wash, they shimmer in the light. A genuine turquoise rondelle was added on top, separated from the coral discs by a copper spacer. The blue turquoise has a bit of pale beige matrix. A 3 mm copper bead caps everything. Sterling silver French hook earwires with copper bead accents finishes the earrings perfectly. Carefully designed and handmade by Catherine of Shadow Dog Designs, the PRETTY PENNIES earrings were created for the woman who loves to wear unique artisan handmade jewelry with a historical bent.
