A Legacy You Can Feel Around Your Neck

📖 The Story

Some people wear jewelry.
Others wear a symbol — of service, of sacrifice, of pride.

This pendant is for the latter.

Hand-cut from a genuine JFK Half Dollar, this dog tag-style pendant features President John F. Kennedy’s iconic profile — a bold tribute to American leadership and resilience. These coins were minted starting in 1964, just months after his assassination, and have become a powerful symbol of a nation that endures.

Each piece is hand-forged, domed, and polished by a veteran-run workshop. We pair it with a sturdy sterling silver ball chain — a nod to military dog tags — so it feels right whether you're in uniform or honoring those who were.

Wear it as a reminder.
Of who you are. Of what we’ve come through. Of what still matters.
