This incredible “pop-out” coin was originally glued onto a cheap bolo tie that I found at a thrift store. Recognizing that it was a rare, collectable silver piece, I decided to release it from its setting and build it a new bolo tie home that is more worthy of its coolness. Differing from traditional hand repousse techniques, pop-outs were die-struck - sometimes with 10,000 to 20,000 pounds of force. This mechanical process was first patented in the United States in 1902. This particular coin features Lady Liberty “popping out” of a silver 1964 JFK half-dollar.

I added a turquoise cabochon and my handmade silver leaves and a flower. I put the centerpiece on a genuine leather cord, and finished the bolo by creating tips out of an antique engraved napkin ring.

This piece is a real conversation starter, is unisex and goes great with so many outfits. I love the modifiable nature of bolo ties - it’s so easy to slide the pendant exactly where you want it, in a way that is much easier than traditional necklaces.
