Most the time, I work to highlight the design on the coin but one year, days before the biggest show up to that point, I had the idea to just cut a simple state silhouette into the state quarters. After finishing my first one, I felt it was a little plain and missing a key feature. I had a few Swarovski crystals lying around, so I dangled one in the center and instantly fell in love with the look. Now, these necklaces are available in any of the 12 birthstone colors as well as black, blue, or red. I also take custom orders, so if you don't see your state available or would like a certain state cut into a different state's quarter, please email me at coinoperatedks@gmail.com
