Where to Find Coin Jewelry Online

Sophia S. Mark
For centuries, and still today, people have been wearing coins as jewelry both as a way to display their wealth and to display the coins. Today, pieces of coin jewelry are made and worn for the same reasons. Coin jewelry is unique, pieces can be a souvenir from your travels, made to commemorate a special event in life, or just a unique timeless piece.

For whatever reason you might be looking into buying coin jewelry, there are great options and several places and styles to choose from. Here are four websites to find unique coin jewelry.

Atocha Jewelry
The coin jewelry from Atocha Jewelry is truly unique, each piece is a reproduction coin from the treasure pulled out of the Atocha, a Spanish treasure ship that sank in 1622. The coins are all exact replicas, very good ones, and each is made with silver pulled from Atocha. Think about it, how many people can claim they own sunken treasure? Not very many.

The collection from Atocha jewelry includes necklaces, bracelets, and earrings with designs ranging from the coin standing alone to very ornately adorned coins. Considering you will be owning a piece of history, the prices are very reasonable and start at one hundred dollars.

Cut Coins
International Cut Coins is different from other coin jewelers because they actually cut the coins. Coins from all over the world are carved into to display the designs and depictions that are on a face of the coin. Coins can be cut to include the rim, which acts as a frame, or the designs can be entirely cut out of the coin.
Other designs that are not on any known international coin are also included in the collection, so if you collect dragon, cat or other items take the time to browse the collection. Contact the artisans directly if you would like a custom made piece.

Jewelry from Mystyx
Mystyx Coin is the place to go when you are looking for a really high qualty piece of coin jewelry for yourself or to give as a gift. Everything and anything that counts as jewelry, for both men and women, is made with a coin. Religious and commemorative coin jewelry are their trademark pieces, as well as custom pieces. They are really the place to go to if you have a coin already and are looking to have it professionally set.

Old Soul Jewels
Old Soul Jewels is a small store on Etsy, a website that features artisans and their handmade goods. This cute store features antique and vintage coins made into jewelry. What I like most about the pieces is that the artisan does not embellish the coins, like so many others, but instead lets the beautiful coins speak for themselves.

    I think you have written about every type of jewelry there is and can now officially call yourself an expert.

    This are some very nice sites. I don't like the clanging coins so much, but I'm a history and cultural buff, so I enjoy the coinage. Neat article.
