My best finds rolled into one

[mmelugin]

A little while back decided to take all of my found gold and turn it into something unique. Today I got the finished product. The centerpiece and highlight is an 1898s $20 gold coin placed in a gold bezel ringed with gold nuggets. Kind of a contrast of raw California gold and what it was once turned into. The jeweler was happy to trade gold for gold and labor and I even had enough for a 18k 22" chain. Very happy with it and now my best treasures can be displayed instead of sitting around in the safe. I'm a little anxious about wearing it around though. Last pics are the coin right after it came out of the ground

Wow looks amazing, like how u mixed the two, gold should be wore, but nowdays with extreme care. Too bad.
