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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dtcable-collection) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-art-of-adornment). Coins can be cleaned with soap and water or immersed in vinegar to eat away the dirt.
