This one-of-a-kind bracelet is crafted from Indian head nickels with a buffalo on the reverse, dated 1914-1915. The coins are drenched in a delicate gold wash that brings out the detailing in the design. The workmanship is subtle and precise; the coins alternate heads and tails as you proceed along the bracelet. The clasp is fashioned (don't ask me why, but how intriguing, and what a story must lie behind it) from a coin from Ceylon, dated 1912, emblazoned with a bust of King George V of England and the words "George V King and Emperor of India". Wow. The condition is astonishing, with no wear to the gold wash, no flaws or discoloration of any kind. This was obviously treasured and protected. An absolutely singular artifact of great beauty and historical note, unlike any coin bracelet I've ever seen. 8"L x 0.75"W (please note length) See less
