North Carolina Quarter Pendant

North Carolina Quarter Pendant

Item in photos is the exact piece for sale, ready to ship!

Hand cut using a bow drill and a jeweler's saw, I cut away the negative space to make the image pop on this North Carolin quarter pendant. This quarter was issued in one year only, 2001, as a part of the "State Quarters Program".

This piece commemorates the historic feat that took place on December 17, 1903, at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina with the first successful flight of a heavier-than-air, self-propelled flying machine. The craft, called the Flyer, traveled a distance of approximately 37 meters (120 feet) on its first flight and soared even further as one of the most significant human achievements in history.

I solder on a bail that I make from a copper-nickel quarter.

This is a copper-nickel coin. It comes on a free stainless steel ballchain (Size #3).

This pendant measures 25mm in height. The coin is 2mm thick.
