About This Piece
This unique pendant began as a Mexican peso collected during a family vacation. Using traditional coin-cutting techniques, the central eagle and snake design was carefully cut free from the surrounding metal while preserving the original details of the coin.
The result transforms everyday currency into a wearable piece of art, allowing the iconic national emblem to become the focal point of the design. Suspended from a handcrafted chain, the pendant reflects both craftsmanship and the memories attached to the journey that brought the coin home.
Created from a simple vacation keepsake, this piece serves as a reminder that meaningful treasures can often be found in unexpected places.
