1960s Bahamian Half Dollar

A swordfish in flight, carved from the sea. This necklace begins with a genuine 1960s Bahamian Half Dollar, carefully hand-sawed to free the image of a swordfish leaping from the waves. Each cut is made stroke by stroke with a jeweler’s saw, preserving the intricate lines of the fish and the motion of the sea beneath it. The finished cut coin is polished, mounted with a sterling silver bale and jump ring, and suspended from a sterling ball chain. The result is a wearable celebration of maritime strength and grace — a fusion of Caribbean heritage and American craftsmanship.
