An Interesting Silver Coin Ring for the Size 10 finger

 Today, I added a new silver coin ring to my store on Ross Coin Rings. This beautiful ring was forged from a  US 1943 Walking Liberty Half Dollar. It is a size 10 and as you can see is finished with an antique look to capture all the fine engraving that is so much a part of these iconic old US coins. The details were preserved both inside and out. When you are asked by others to see the ring, you can proudly show them the original engraving on both sides of your ring.

Stop by my Ross Coin Rings store often as I am always adding new items. At this time, shipping is FREE.

US Washington Bicentennial Quarter Coin Ring




The Bicentennial Quarters are still in circulation, but are getting a little more scarce everyday. This particular quarter makes a very nice coin ring. I have shaped the coin so the "United States of America" is on the outside of the ring. However, by carefully crafting this coin, I also preserved the details on the inside of the band where the date "1776-1976" is clearly visible and intact. The antique finish highlights the raised letters and details of the coin while leaving the background a bit darker for contrast.

This coin ring is a Size 8-1/4 and is currently available for immediate purchase at my Ross Coin Rings website.

Coin Ring from US Dollar

My latest project was to make a size 10.5 coin ring from a US Sacajawea One Dollar coin. This was my first attempt at a coin larger than a US Quarter, and of a slightly different material. Although this ring proved to be a bit more of a challenge than the quarter ones I've been making, I was satisfied with the result. Also, instead of finishing it with a high gloss shine, I opted to give it an antique appearance where only the highlights are shiny.
