About the Item: This Indian Penny necklace features a genuine United States Indian Head Cent that is over 100 years old and silver plated. The coin, minted from 1859-1909, is the centerpiece of a vintage heart necklace. The heart is delicately weaved and adorned with eight howlite turquoise beads for a fashionable and historic look. The Indian Head Penny is securely held in a silver tone bezel at the center of the heart pendant. The necklace hangs from a 24-inch rope style chain with a 3-inch extender, making it adjustable to your desired length. The chain is made of steel and features matte and antiqued silver tone finishes. The coin pendant is made of copper and was designed by James B. Longacre, who was inspired by either his daughter Sarah or the Greek statue Venus. The obverse of the coin was first designed to resemble laurel, but was later changed to oak. The Indian Head Penny was originally only minted in Philadelphia, but production later expanded to the San Francisco Mint in 1908. Turquoise howlite beads are believed to improve memory and concentration, adding a touch of uniqueness to this stunning necklace. A Certificate of Authenticity and a 1-year Manufacturer's Warranty are included with your purchase.
