Just your average 1921 Cutout Saint

Although I think it's actually a 1924 cut out to look like a 1921, but still very high coolness factor.

Wow! So, cool and I can imagine a young lady wearing that during the roaring twenties at the local dance hall!
I cannot imagine the work and hours it took to do that.

She's got some big peepers!
That is awesome!
That is s pretty intricate frame/bezel.

WOW ! ! !

Any help locating any of these OBW rolls would be gratefully appreciated!
Back in the day this was considered entertainment. Seems like a lot of work. God bless their soul.
I have my doubts.
Her face looks like a zombie, that's not from the cutout work.
The stars all look bad. Even the ones not cut out are too flat and broad.
The olive branch is not right.
Both of her hands are wrong.
The flame on the torch is really bad.
Could be wrong but I don't think its genuine.
On the other hand it is neat looking.
@messydesk is that yours and if so can you show the reverse? Cool piece, never seen a Saint cutout.
I didn't realize that there was any question that it was not cut from a genuine coin. Look at the stars to the left of the feet.
Not mine, but here's the reverse.

Thanks. Nice, looks real and would be a very impressive piece of jewelry. Would be interesting to have appraised as jewelry. Geat get out of the doghouse gift for the wife if you have deep pockets.
Looks like the very common 1924 where part of the 4 was removed to make a 1. In any event, it's very cool.

Sweet !!!
Agreed. That face looks really fake, and terrifying. Also the bottom fold (scalloping?) of the blouse looks wrong.
Still an impressive work.
I wondered how they did it? The olive branch is overly trimmed. Beautiful piece of ART

Impressive work. I was in communication with a jeweler for a while that does coin cut outs.... He was also training his son. As far as I know, he was not doing double eagles though... He had done all the silver coins... Mercs, quarters, WLH's, Peace dollars... Cheers, RickO
Very classy.
Jeweler's saw. These things come in some pretty tiny sizes:
