How do I know what size ring I should order?

Coin rings are listed as US sizing.

There are various tools and sizing charts available online that you can print at home ( like this one, please make sure to print it at 100% Actual Size: UnMinted – Coin Ring Sizing Chart ), however, these charts may not be as accurate as getting sized.

If you’re not sure about what size you need, I highly recommend stopping by your local jewelry store or jewelry department and asking if they could check your ring size for you, just to be sure.

Can I get my coin ring resized?

Yes (usually) – If you purchase a custom “made to order” coin ring and need a sizing adjustment, you may return your ring within 14 days for a FREE** one-time resizing or replacement (at my discretion). Please contact me here, choose “Resize Request” and I’ll get back to you.

If you’re interested in purchasing an in stock coin ring and need a different size than what’s listed, please contact me here prior to purchasing, choose “Resize Request” and I’ll get back to you with options.

** Please note: Buyer pays shipping costs – all coin rings have limitations for the size range possible for any given coin.

My coin ring or pendant is looking dull, what can I do?

Coin jewelry is made from actual currency or bullion and the metal composition varies between them (mixtures of silver, copper, nickel, zinc, brass, etc).

As they are worn, the metals will, over time, naturally begin to tarnish as they are exposed to soap, lotions, and skin oils.

To keep them polished, I recommend using a jewelry polish cloth – they’re affordable, easy to find at you local dept. store, and work great for an occasional buffing.

What is your return policy?

Each item is carefully handcrafted, and every piece is unique.

Coin rings, pendants, earrings, and other jewelry items may be returned within 14 days of purchase for a refund of the original purchase price, provided they are returned in new, unused condition and free from damage or wear.

Due to the nature of specialty tools and jigs, all tool and jig sales are final. These items cannot be returned once used, tested, or marked, as they can no longer be resold as new.

If your order arrives damaged or there is an issue with your purchase, please contact me and I’ll be happy to help.

Do you ship Internationally?

Yes – Due to Etsy getting better International shipping rates, I ship International orders through my Etsy shop at https://unmintedltd.etsy.com 

If there is an item you’re interested in that you don’t see on my Etsy shop, please let me know, I’m happy to set up a custom order for you.

Is it legal to make jewelry from coins?

Absolutely. Have you ever smashed a penny into a souvenir at the zoo?

Taken right from the source, Section 331 of Title 18 of the United States code: “As a matter of policy, the U.S. Mint does not promote coloring, plating or altering U.S. coinage: however, there are no sanctions against such activity absent fraudulent intent.

It’s perfectly legal, you just can no longer spend it once it’s been turned into a keepsake 😉
