Pocket Change Jewelry

Michiel Cornelissen Makes Coin Necklaces

There's a way to get rid of the loose change dangling in your pocket with these Coin Necklaces. Michiel Cornelissen designed a fashionable accessory by combining coins together to make a slithering coin necklace. Coined as 'E 5.55,' this flexible and intricate necklace is made with a 3D-printed polyamide base that holds 111 five cent euro coins to create an astonishing effect.

When the domino-like coins are held firmly in place, it creates a stunning effect that looks simple and contemporary. This is a great DIY project so start collecting coins to make beautiful fashion accessories. Coins can be cleaned with soap and water or immersed in vinegar to eat away the dirt.
