Is coin jewelry in style?

Coin jewelry is classic and always in style. It has been around since ancient Greece when it was worn as adornments rather than kept for its value. More jewelers are using coins in their pieces today and the appeal for coin jewelry is growing. Prices of pieces with coins depend on a number of factors such as age, the history of the coin, rarity, condition, and setting.

Coin jewelry can have a geometrical design or be framed or more extravagant with diamonds and/or gemstones. If you collect high jewelry or are a high-maintenance diva you will probably not be satisfied with anything less than a piece of jewelry that has a rare coin(s) or collectible coin(s) in it. However, coin jewelry can be affordable. When traveling to foreign countries you can collect interesting coins and have a piece of jewelry made when you arrive home. Or visit coin shops at home to find unusual coins. Coins look fabulous on rings, brooches, necklaces, and bracelets or can dazzle when on a pendant or a brooch.
