Nicely done coin jewelry

Really I consider this sort of defacement as almost sacrilege. But the coin jewelry these folks are selling is really quite well done and pretty nice looking: creativecoins.

I stumbled onto them searching for Ethiopian lions. Pretty amazing skills, considering this and this came from a coin. One for ship lovers too. I wonder how sturdy stuff like this is though?

    Nicely done, yes- but not a whole lot better than average for cutout jewelry, I reckon... and might daggum pricey...

    Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

    I like a couple of them. Also it is not like they are using super rare coins.

    I know it's a no-no from a numsimatic point of view, but my little brain itches when I see pieces like these from Ancient Creations in the Venetian, Aladdin, and Caesars Palace in Vegas:
