Georgian Guinea Coin Sardonyx Locket Watch Fob Pendant Portrait Miniature 1908 The rich green and blueCoins and jewels have always had a lot in common. After all, jewelry was mostly created as sort of wearable money, and in a way it still is. Made of precious and semi precious metals, crafted with an eye to design, made to be beautiful and desired as well as precious. Coins have often been incorporated in jewelry, melted down to make rings, sure, but also framed and worn, dangled off chains, Ive even had some that have been turned into pocket knives.
