U.S. Buffalo Nickel Ring

"Sterling Silver with Genuine 1930s U.S. Coin"

Crafted in Marseille, France, this ring combines French precision with classic Americana. At its center is a genuine U.S. Buffalo Nickel from the 1930s, set into a smooth, solid sterling silver band. The coin is featuring a proud American bison, a symbol of resilience and strength across the open plains.

The coin face measures 21 mm in diameter, mounted on a 6 mm wide silver band that’s polished for comfort and subtle shine. No cast replicas here—each ring uses a real coin that’s seen decades of circulation, so every piece has its own unique surface wear and character.

🦬 The Buffalo Nickel – A Piece of the Frontier

The Buffalo Nickel, officially known as the Indian Head nickel, was minted from 1913 to 1938. Designed by American sculptor James Earle Fraser, the coin features a Native American profile on the obverse (“heads”) and a buffalo on the reverse (“tails”)—modeled after a real bison named Black Diamond.

On this ring, the buffalo side is front and center, framed by the natural patina of aged nickel. Beneath the coin, hidden against your finger, is the profile of a Native American chief—always present, even if not visible.
