Making high karat gold jewelry is one of my favorite things to do! The color of 22k is unmatched. These coins were sent in for me to make and I figured I would share the process. The coin ring was a type I hadn’t made before and it turned out fantastic! And the Gold Lumberjack is always good 🙂 Check out my website www.changeyoucanwear.net and see what other handmade pieces await!

  1. I am surprised you did not turn the Netherlands coin into a coin ring. I can’t remember when you have just straight melted a coin to make into jewelry before now, not a problem though, still amazing rings.

    1. I really wanted to haha. As a matter of fact I weighed up some of my scrap 22k gold to switch it out but I didn’t. It was a clients project and coins so I just went with it. If it was a us coin, I would have switched it out for sure lol.

  2. if your looking for ideas. i reckon old indian rupees would make nice rings. they used silver up until 1945, very large coin with a circular inner section perfectly centered with a pattern around the outside, a design that lends itself well to this, their also plentiful and cheap. a 1 pice coin also has a gorgeous outer pattern and already comes with a perfectly centered hole. made of copper tho.
    also, an australian 1937 crown. you’ll upset a lot of people but they are HUGE and silver, and the 1937 wasn’t all that rare, over a million made.

  3. I love coin rings, but to melt an antique coin into nothing recognisable hurts as a coin collector 😂 there’s probably some extra value right? Unless it’s a common coin

  4. Hey Skyler have you ever thought of making a sovereign style ring? It’ll be a another cool as video haven’t seen anyone on YouTube making sovereign rings you know.

    1. Yeah like there are sovereign rings but only people showing their ring already made lol but yeah thought I mentioned it’ll be a cool combo of coin and fine jewelry.

  5. a gold tenner from 1927 from the Netherlands you really don’t see that much anymore, these coins are quite rare.
