est Value 1500.00 This unique vintage necklace is crafted from sterling silver links and authentic U.S. Mercury dimes, most dating from the 1940s. Mercury dimes are iconic pieces of American coinage, prized for their artistry and high silver content — and incorporating them into jewelry has long been a tradition in Southwestern and Navajo-influenced silversmithing. This piece is designed as a long continuous strand, allowing you to wear it multiple ways: as one dramatic opera-length necklace, doubled or tripled for a layered look, or wrapped as a stacked choker-style piece. The chain also features hand-set turquoise stones, adding a splash of color and tying the coins into the Western jewelry aesthetic beautifully. Lightweight, versatile, and full of history, this is the kind of vintage piece that stands out in a collection — effortlessly mixing Southwestern style, American coin silver heritage, and wearable art. A charming, collectible necklace with real 1940s silver currency and timeless character. Measures Approx: 63" Weighs Approx: 78.7g
