This is a new piece that was a fresh style for me. Recently I was given some gorgeous silver coins from my Aunt. In exchange, I created some jewelry for her. One of the pieces naturally, I thought, should include the very coins she gave me, so I created this piece. I love how if you look closely, you can still see the makings of a coin: the thickness, the ribbed edging, etc. The rest of the piece was created with copper sheet and half round silver wire. I was please with the simplicity, yet "chunkiness" that the coin gave to the "leaf." Hope you enjoy your new goody Aunt Cath!
