Eagles symbolize power, freedom, courage, and independence.

Sterling Silver

Sterling silver is an alloy of 92.5% silver and 7.5% copper. Since pure silver is a very soft metal, the addition of a small amount of copper alloy gives the metal enough hardness to retain its shape over years of wear.

Coins

Coins are made of all different types of metal alloys, not all of which are up to the standards of traditional jewellery metals! Please take note of the material the coin is made of and consider any allergens or sensitivities, nickel in particular can react with sensitive skin. Consider the style of the setting as well—the settings that rest behind the coin prevent direct contact with the skin and are a great choice for sensitive skin, whereas the settings that go around the outside of the coin will have direct skin contact and may develop patina more quickly in contact with moisture on the skin.
