How cool is this vendor in the our virtual craft market?! In Christina's own words, "I was taught the craft of "trench art" by my grandfather. Carving coins, pounding out rings from coins, etc was an art done in the trenches during the war, hence the name. Each piece of jewelry is crafted by hand, by me. No 2 pieces are the same. I use decommissioned coins from all over the world as well as special edition silver coins. I also do custom work with your coins if you prefer." https://tinyurl.com/y6cn9rte
