Spanish “Shipwreck” Coin Jewelry

This “Shipwreck” Spanish Coin bracelet makes history come alive. With items thematic to a shipwreck, and a genuine antique coin associated with the Age of Pirates, never has history been so close. It features an authentic 17th century coin in fine condition; it has been wire-wrapped with copper wire with ends finishing off as a copper waves on both sides. The coin wrapping also has some hemp “fancy work” incorporated into the design. The bracelet features an assortment of seashells to make the shipwreck theme complete. It’s length is just shy of 9 inches and will fit comfortably on a wrist which usually wears a 7.5-8 inch bracelet.
