Manny Zeevi's Hand-Painted Coins - July 23rd!

Have you seen Manny Zeevi's Hand-Painted Coins? They. Are. Beautiful.  I mean really, really beautiful.



Hand-painting coins is a very old art form. In painstaking fashion, the artist, Manny, applies color initially to outline the design, followed by high tempered firing process. The firing process is repeated after each color is applied. The hand-painting process for each piece varies, some taking as long as two days to complete! No wonder these coins are stunning.

Manny hand-paints coins from around the world and crafts them into cufflinks, golf markets, earrings, belt buckles and more.

Check out all his many designs Wednesday, July 23 from 11-2.
