Viktor Andri Halldórsson makes lovely rings from old copper coins that belonged to a family member. Viktor, who’s studying to become a ship captain, stumbled upon the idea on the internet and began to experiment soon after.
“My family owns an extensive collection of old 1 króna coins which have proven to be the perfect material for jewellery making. I’ve also experimented with Norwegian and Danish coins, the Icelandic 100 krónur coin and the euro – the last two were the most difficult to handle,” he said in an interview with Fréttablaðið newspaper.
Making the rings requires much patience as they are made by hammering or tapping the edge of the coin until flat and smooth.
Viktor’s rings have gained much attention and many, including a former American soldier stationed in Keflavík, have bought one.
