This domed coin necklace was made using an authentic brass-plated steel coin from Cape Verde, dated 1994. The front depicts a graceful loggerhead sea turtle gliding through the water. The back shows the denomination, date, and national emblem. This coin is a great way to celebrate the marine life in the area.

I cleaned, drilled, domed, and polished this coin. The small, shiny coin is made from brass-plated steel and has a diameter of 5/8 inch (16mm). It hangs from an 18 inch (45.7cm) rhodium-plated cable chain secured by a lobster clasp. The chain can be shortened upon request.

The brass is a nice gold-color with a shiny patina
