Genuine Spanish 2 Reale coin set into a sterling silver pendant. This coin, 262 years old, has seen the history of countless progress of the world. Wars, peace, the discovery of new lands, the fall of empires, and the birth of new ones. It was clipped and cut in antiquity. Possibly someone began to cut it into "change" only to find another coin deeper in their pocket. It is sold as the pendant only without chain. 
 
I take great pride that every one of pieces of jewelry is 100% legally compliant with the US Federal Trade Commissions definition of hand made jewelry (§ 23.3 Misuse of the terms "hand-made," "hand-polished," etc.)! 
 
All of my silver and solders are alloyed by me from fine silver bullion and pure copper so there are no toxic "mystery metals" in my jewelry. Every item is hand forged from molten metal by traditional hammer and anvil methods. The only 2 things on my workbench that a roman silversmith would not recognize are a torch and an Ipad................
 
I offer a limited lifetime (the limit is my lifetime :-) and I have a lot of good years left)service guarantee. If you lose or break a stone I will be happy to replace it for the price (the price I pay) for the stone and shipping. 
 
I normally use insured FedEx Shipping which is 2-4 days to the US.
 
Thanks for looking!
