The Liberty M.I.A. Drops are handmade from hand-sawn vintage silver Liberty dimes or Mercury dimes, featuring Lady Liberty with wings that symbolize freedom of thought. Her coin portrait is sawn out and then attached above and dipped in gold. This 14k yellow gold vermeil is measured at 2.5 microns thick over the silver material, much thicker than traditional plating, therefore lasting longer than traditional plating. The French wires are solid sterling silver with 14kt gold vermeil.
