Jim Stamper Jewelry

We are a family-owned business with a rich history of handcrafting jewelry from silver coins that spans over four decades. Our team is composed of two key members: Jim, the master craftsman, and Donna, the designer and sales manager. Together, we have perfected the art of transforming pre-1965 US silver coins into stunning pieces of jewelry that are not only unique but also high in quality.

Our Craftsmanship

Each piece of jewelry that we create is a testament to our meticulous craftsmanship. We start by hand-piercing each design element, a process that involves drawing the design onto the flattened coin and then drilling holes for the spaces in the design. Next, we thread the saw blade through the first hole and cut out the design shape. This process is repeated for each of the spaces desired for each design. For some designs, we add detail and depth by engraving them with a hand engraver. After this, we take the piece to the buffing wheel and polish it to a high shine, which removes any of the original coin design from the front and back of the coin.

Our Materials

We source our silver coins from reputable coin dealers, ensuring that they are high in content (90% silver, as opposed to sterling silver, which is 92.5%). We use dimes, quarters, half dollars, and silver dollars to create different sizes and thicknesses in the finished piece. The milled edge of the coin becomes the edge of the finished pendant or earring, serving as evidence that the piece was created from a coin. We take pride in the fact that one coin creates one pendant or earring, ensuring the uniqueness of each piece.

Our Designs

We offer a wide range of designs, from the Tree of Life to the Forget Me Not, all made from silver dimes and light enough to catch people's attention. Our earrings come with sterling silver ear wires, and we offer four types of jewelry categories: dime pendants, earrings, quarter pendants, and celtic designs. Most of our designs are pictured throughout the site. If you don't find the design pictured under the category you want to order, look under earrings or the other pendant size in the appropriate sub-category to see the photo of that design. Then, return to the specific item you would like to order to place it in your cart.

Our Service

We make every effort to expedite orders in 48 hours, and each ordered item is packaged in a velveteen pouch with our business card, which explains how the jewelry is made and how to care for it. We pride ourselves on our exceptional customer service and are always available to answer any questions you may have.
