Gold on Silver Cape Verde 1 Escudos Sea Turtle Necklace

This stunning necklace was made using a real 1 escudos coin from Cape Verde which is about the size of a US dime and features a sea turtle. First, the coin was layered in pure, .9999 fine bright silver. Then, the figure on this beautiful coin was brought to life by highlighting it (by hand) with rich, pure 24-carat gold. This painstaking work turned the coin into a true work of art which was then hermetically sealed in a clear, hard acrylic coating to protect it against wear. The finished coin was then mounted in either a gold filled rope edge bezel, a gold filled plain edge bezel or placed directly on a chain (your choice). In each case, the chain used is a good quality 18-inch, 14-carat gold layered rope chain. Shipped in a nice jewelry box.
This is a Special Order item that will be shipped separately directly from one of our jewelers.
