    Coin rings?? Coin rings, indeed!

    The neatest wedding gift Charity and I received was from a fellow LCR member. It was kind of funny- he emailed and cryptically asked where we were born... a few weeks later, just after returning from our honeymoon/buying trip, we get a package from Tom, aka TwoYankees here on LCR.

    These are very special to us, it was so thoughtful and unexpected that I swore to Tom I'd brag about the coin rings here on LCR. For months I promised... I can be a bad procrastinator.

    I'm glad to be able to share what Tom can do. The quarter rings were our gift from him. I liked them so much I sent Tom a half dollar to do the same thing with. He didn't fail to impress.

    I can also tell you, Tom is not working as much as he'd prefer and would be eager to put together something special for you too! I'm sure he'll pop in shortly and post. Enjoy these:

              Wow Chris, what a great post and thanks so much for all the kind words, ( on both posts). Im totally flattered. I just started my second day back to work, construction doesnt seem to get any easier at 55. But you gotta do what you gotta do. And thanks also to everyone else for your kind words indeed. These rings are a labor of love , they are hand hammered, im still learning. No quite as simple as they look. Any one thats interested , PM me and we cant get something started. Thanks SO much!!!!

                      Very impressive. Not your "garden variety" coin ring for sure. I'll need to think on what would be interesting for a gift. I do not wear jewelry myself. I've never even had a wedding ring on (LOL) in 34 years of marriage.

                              I love rings and was blown away (Illinois here) -- One question -- How are they sized?? I have Fat Fingers and getting rings in my size has always been a hassle...
