    New Online Shop on Etsy

    I decided to sell on Etsy and use their platform for my hand crafted coin rings.  I ended up crafting a lot of new coin rings as well as copper and brass rings.  Most of the new coin rings are already posted in my Etsy shop but I still have a lot more to post.  Maybe in the next week or so I will have all of them posted.  I am including some pictures in this post but you should visit my online shop to see all of them.  Thank you and please remember that I can make any coin into a ring (well almost) and I will craft any custom work for you.

    1946 Tunisia 5 Francs coin ring

    Wow, this was not an easy ring  to make.  Thickness of the coin is 2.28 mm so it took me some time to punch the hole in it.  Next time will use a drill I think.  Very nice coin and the design looks awesome.  I have made one ring in size 13 so I should be posting it in my shop very soon.  Have a look at some pictures of the coin before I turned it into a coin ring.  It was minted only in 1946 in Paris.  Around 10 million were minted.  Size of the coin is approximately 31 mm and it was made from Aluminiim-bronze.  It is a heavy coin at 12.20 grams.  It was demonized in 1956.
