This jewelry set transforms a piece of Canadian history into a minimalist, modern statement. By hand-forging vintage copper pennies—first into rings and then meticulously stretching them into sleek, elongated bars—we’ve created a design that is both rustic and refined.
Each piece carries the warm, unmistakable glow of genuine Canadian copper, preserving the soul of the coin in a completely new silhouette.
The Design Narrative
The transformation process is what makes this set unique. We don't just melt the metal; we reshape it.
-
The Ring Phase: Each penny is centered and punched, then folded into a seamless ring.
-
The Stretch: Through careful hammering and tension, the ring is "unrolled" and forged into a linear bar.
-
The Finish: The edges are softened, and the surface is polished to a high-shine.
Product Features
-
Material: Authentic pre-1997 Canadian pennies (high copper content for a rich, rose-gold hue).
-
Earrings: Lightweight, slender bars suspended from hypoallergenic copper ear wires.
-
Necklace: A matching focal bar hung horizontally on a delicate 16-inch chain.
-
Sustainable: Upcycled currency turned into wearable art.
-
Handcrafted: No two bars are identical; subtle variations in texture reflect the individual history of the coin.
