A swordfish in flight, carved from the sea.

This necklace begins with a genuine 1960s Bahamian Half Dollar, carefully hand-sawed to free the image of a swordfish leaping from the waves. Each cut is made stroke by stroke with a jeweler’s saw, preserving the intricate lines of the fish and the motion of the sea beneath it. The finished cut coin is polished, mounted with a sterling silver bale and jump ring, and suspended from a sterling ball chain.

The result is a wearable celebration of maritime strength and grace — a fusion of Caribbean heritage and American craftsmanship.

Cut by hand from a 1960s Bahamian Half Dollar, this pendant reveals a swordfish leaping from the waves. Finished with sterling fittings and hung on a sterling ball chain.

The national pride of the Bahamas.

The Bahamian Half Dollar was first struck in the 1960s, during a time of growing national identity in the Caribbean. The reverse of the coin features a swordfish breaking free of the sea, its powerful leap captured in silver as waves curl beneath. This design symbolized the Bahamas’ deep connection to the ocean, its fisheries, and its culture of resilience.

Minted in .800 fine silver, these coins circulated as both currency and a point of national pride before being phased out in later years. Today, they remain a sought-after collectible, admired for their artistry and for the heritage they represent.

Struck in the 1960s in .800 silver, the Bahamian Half Dollar features a swordfish leaping above the waves — a national emblem of strength and the islands’ bond with the sea.

Hand-sawed with precision, finished with care.

Each Bahamian Half Dollar is pierced and hand-sawed to reveal the swordfish and waves in bold relief. Using a jeweler’s blade, the background is removed to highlight the fish’s leap and the motion of the sea. The cut coin is then polished, mounted with a sterling silver bale and jump ring, and paired with a sterling ball chain.

Because each coin is cut entirely by hand, no two pendants are ever exactly alike — each carries its own unique marks of craftsmanship and history.

Each coin is hand-sawed to reveal the swordfish and waves, then polished, mounted with sterling fittings, and hung on a sterling ball chain. Every pendant is unique.
