Chain Mail Bezel for Coins and More
Not long ago, I found a Russian Saint-Petersburg Metro token at home (I guess, I brought it from my last visit of Russia) and 5 ruble coin. Turning it in my hands, I decided to make something with it since I cannot use it here anyway:) Besides, coin jewelry has been popular since coinage began.
I did not want to make any holes in it, so the chain mail bezel should work.
You will not believe, just after making this "Russian" pendant, my daughter found a genuine Slovenian 1 tolar, 1995, coin and Canadian Elizabeth Head Penny 1969 coin. I wanted to make a bezel for them too!
