The necklace of coins is back in fashion

The absolute hit of the last few seasons is metal jewelry, mostly from chains. The metal is good because it fits well with all the colors and textures of the fabric, so you can wear similar accessories with almost everything, starting from the stylistic focus of toilet items. However, one should not assume that beautiful metal necklaces can only be made of chains - other metal decorations, such as a necklace of coins, can be an excellent solution.

Of course, in the necklace of coins there are ethnic motives, but this does not mean that it will be inappropriate if the clothing is chosen in other styles - it all depends on the style in which the necklace is made. For example, if this luxurious large and brilliant monisto in Arabic style is made up of many shining coins, then it will suit stylized parties or belly dancing, and if this is a small necklace in which chains, beads and vintage or aged coins are harmoniously intertwined, it will be It is quite appropriate even with a business suit.

In stores you can find any beads from coins. In the usual departments of jewelry, most likely, you will be offered necklaces from stylized coins, which have a purely decorative purpose, so the price of such jewelry will be low. If you need a necklace of coins for oriental dances, the best that can be found is sold in the departments specializing in belly dance accessories, along with the appropriate costumes. Fans of ethnic antiquity and vintage style can look for necklaces from real coins - most likely, they will be old ornaments, and it is unlikely that they can be worn, rather, they are a collectible value, and they need to be looked for in appropriate outlets. It will be expensive to cost such a necklace of coins: its price is directly related to the age and material of the coins.

Also, a necklace of coins can be made independently, although this process is labor intensive and requires physical strength, so it is desirable that a man participate in it. In fact, each of us in the house has probably accumulated a huge amount of trifles, which is unlikely to be used, because one, five and even ten-coin coins are difficult to find practical application. In addition, many still have coins of recent times, which are already out of the question and of no value at all. Very interesting for this needlework are coins of some eastern countries with holes in the middle - they can be used immediately, without preparation, especially since they are incredibly popular as elements for making jewelry, because they give it a special flavor. From all this you can build monisto for oriental dances, fancy beads for children or interesting necklaces for yourself.

To do this, in each coin you need to make a hole. It is best to pierce it with a sharp object and a hammer. It is very important that the surface on which this is done is as hard as possible. This also applies to the sharp object, which will be made hole - he should not bend from the impact. As the connecting elements, it is best to use special detachable rings or round links of a suitable wire chain. It is possible to make such connecting elements independently from a rigid wire, but it is rather difficult and traumatic.

Further weaving can be done in different ways: you can take a chain of fine wire with large links and hang coins, beads, beautiful buttons, small charms and chains to it or to each link or on thin chains of different length, or several pieces in Each link to get a design that resembles a bunch of grapes. Classic monistos are also made in another technique: pierced from several sides of the coin are connected together on a plane.
