I happened across these darling British, farthing coins, featuring a wren.  Circulation ceased on this design in 1960. I thought the design was worthy of a second life in a piece of jewelry and I was thrilled to find this artist who alters the coin with a soldered edge and bail. (See back of coin in photo #2).

I feel like these are a little throwback to the classy days of Doris Day or Lucille Ball. can you see it too?  hopefully, you know who I’m talking about, lol, but if you don’t, just know they were super classy ladies that influenced my life when I was a little girl.  Very cool ladies.  (those little mercury Czech glass beads just do it for me).
