    Howdy all!!

    these killas have a cool coin style backing. Any ideas on age, origin or maker? They are wired as you can see below the faux coin.
    Ty for any help!!!

    I think someone made those up. The dangles look as though they came from an older chain linked necklace and the earrings may have just been the coins at some point.

    Yes, that backing is one of those think aluminum craft "coins." The kind was sees on belly dancer scarves. Not all with traditional Eastern motifs; some have Western heads.

    I think the coin was used to cover up where they attached the beading .

    "Coin" is an inexpensive craft item. Points to a non-commercial piece.

    Hi! Thank you for your responses. Makes sense it was probably a necklace and it’s crafted from home. Thank you.
