"I make jewelry from old coins from all over the world. Why coins? Coins are COOL! They have lived little lives in people's pockets. They have purchased treasures, paid for lunches with friends, and have been exchanged from hand to hand. The coins I use are tiny works of art and even though most of them no longer have value as currency, they have value as objects of beauty. The best part is that every piece of jewelry has a story, quote or thought that goes with the coin that is meant to inspire you, move you or remind you of something important. That’s the goal anyway!"
