Collection: Hand-Cut Coin Jewelry from Jarrett Leone in New Hampshire

I love using circulated currency as an artistic medium. Each coin has its own story to tell. As I am working, I wonder-- where has this coin traveled? What was traded for it? How many lives has it connected before finding its way to my workbench to be transformed into a unique piece of jewelry? Coin currency has been an integral part of society for thousands of years. There is a strong connection to history and a sense of nostalgia associated with coins. Using them to make jewelry allows me to craft unique, high quality works from a necessary, pre-existing material.
