An absolute hit of the last few seasons are metal jewelry, mainly from chains. Metal is good in that it goes well with all the colors and textures of the fabric, so you can wear such accessories with almost everything, starting only from the stylistic orientation of the toilet. However, do not assume that beautiful metal necklaces can only be made from chains - other metal jewelry, for example, a necklace made of coins, can also be a great solution.
Of course, there are ethnic motifs in the necklace of coins, but this does not mean that it will not be appropriate if clothes are chosen in other styles - it all depends on the style in which the necklace is made. For example, if it is a luxurious large and shiny Arabic style moniste made of many shining coins, then it is suitable for stylized parties or for belly dancing, and if it is a small necklace in which chains, beads and vintage or aged coins are harmoniously intertwined, then it will be quite appropriate even with a business suit.
In the stores you can find any beads made of coins. In the usual sections of jewelry, most likely, you will be offered necklaces of stylized coins that have a purely decorative purpose, so the price of such jewelry will be low. If you need a necklace of coins for practicing oriental dancing, then the best that can be found is sold in departments specializing in accessories for belly dancing, along with appropriate costumes. Fans of ethnic antiquity and vintage style can look for necklaces from real coins - most likely they will be antique jewelry, and it is unlikely that they can be worn, rather, they are of collectible value, and you need to look for them in the corresponding outlets. Such a necklace of coins will certainly cost a lot of money: its price is directly related to the age and material of the coins.
Also, a necklace of coins can be made independently, although this process is time-consuming and requires physical strength, so it is advisable that a man participate in it. In fact, each of us in the house must have accumulated a huge amount of trifle, which is unlikely to be used - after all, it is rather difficult to find practical application for one-, five- and even ten-copeck coins. In addition, many still have coins of recent times that are no longer in use and have no value. Coins of some eastern countries with holes in the middle are very interesting for such needlework - they can be used immediately, without preparation, especially since they are incredibly popular as elements for making jewelry, because they give it a special flavor. From all this, you can build a monisto for oriental dances, perky beads for children or interesting necklaces for yourself.
To do this, you need to make a hole in each coin. It is best to pierce it with a sharp object and a hammer. It is very important that the surface on which this is done is as hard as possible. The same applies to the sharp object with which the hole will be made - it should not bend from the impact. As connecting elements, it is best to use special split rings or round links of a suitable wire chain. It is possible to make such connecting elements yourself from a rigid wire, but it is quite difficult and traumatic.
Further, weaving beads can be carried out in different ways: you can take a chain of thin wire with large links and hang coins, beads, beautiful buttons, small trinkets and chains either in each link, or on thin chains of different lengths, or several pieces per each link to make a design resembling a bunch of grapes. Classical monistos are made using a different technique: coins pierced from several sides are connected to each other on a plane.
