Vintage 1921 Morgan Silver Dollar in Peridot Green Studded Bezel with Chain

This 1921 U. S. Morgan Silver Dollar is one of a collection of 12 we recently obtained indirectly from an antique dealer desiring to clean out inventory.  It is currently (18 Jun 2011) available for sale on on ArtFire.com.  Others (both Morgan and Peace) are available at our retail location on Mondays.
This one has a silver tone finish on the bezel.  According to our coin dealer friend and also a jewelry metalsmith, the bezel and chain are not sterling silver.  The chain appears to be a type of stainless steeel.  I could not find any maker's mark on the bezel.  The peridot green stones (rhinestones) are quite nicely "cut", but of unknown material.
This is a lovely piece of vintage jewelry.
When available, additional pictures will be placed on our FaceBook page.
This view shows the back of the pendant and coin with the tabs intact.  The bail is a separate piece.

 This new pair of earrings combines the elegance of Swarovski Montana sapphire crystals and lapis lazuli round beads as a stepped trio of drops.  The silver lined gold Delica seed beads maintain a brilliance for the supporting pins.  The "blue jeans" color of the Swarovski Montana sapphire crystals works well with the blue lapis lazuli color.
This single pair of earrings is available for purchase at our DPCreations CraftIsArt.com web site and also at our Webster, FL retail location until sold.  Pictures will remain posted even after a sale.
We also have multiple colors of Swarovski crystals and crystal pearl earrings in the style represented here at our retail location.
