This Mercury Dime Pendant is entirely hand built using thick, heavy gauge solid .925 sterling silver and .999 fine silver, made to order. Each setting is hand built for each specific coin for the optimum fit and finish. The pendant is meticulously hand polished to a mirror shine for a smooth, comfortable feel. I use genuine vintage Mercury Dimes, grade good or better, locally sourced and hand selected. I bezel set the mercury dime using traditional silversmith techniques, pushing fine silver over the edge of the coin to secure it in place. I do not use glue, epoxy or resin. Made in our home studio in Saint George, Utah by our family of artisans. The Mercury dime is a ten-cent coin struck by the United States Mint from 1916 to 1945. Dates will vary on made to order rings. We use extra heavy duty, solid 925 sterling silver, guaranteed to last a lifetime of wear. The metals used for our settings are sourced from environmentally sustainable sources in the United States of America. This is a custom made to order item.
