COIN jewelry goes way back in history. Between the 1880s and World War II, it was particularly popular to etch and decorate coins by hand to create floral motifs and initials. Pieces like this are often called "sweetheart jewelry", the idea being that sailors and soldiers did these to bring back to their sweethearts. Coins would be smoothed, worked and engraved by hand with with meaningful names, dates, designs or initials. Occasionally, enameling was used to highlight the design.

Some jewelry uses the coin as-is, with no engraving. Coins may be pierced and joined as necklaces and bracelet, or mounted as brooches, rings and earrings.
