Oh, how many different types of jewelry the modern jewelry industry offers! But in the old days fashionistas loved to decorate themselves no less than our contemporaries. They sometimes carried entire fortunes on themselves, trying to outdo their rivals in the struggle for the favor of eligible suitors.
Today we will talk about perhaps the most famous decoration with an ethnic and historical twist. Our focus will be on the monisto, a decoration that was once popular among many peoples of the world. Now interest in it has decreased somewhat, but gradually the fashion for it is heating up, so that it will soon take up its permanent residence in the boxes of recognized style icons.
Pendant with photo
An image of a loved one can support the wearer of such jewelry in difficult times and distract him from sad thoughts.
To make a pendant you will need:
- Two photographs.
- Unnecessary lighter.
- Glue "Moment".
- Scissors.
- Chain.
- Thin transparent plastic plate.
Step-by-step instructions on how to make a pendant with your own hands:
- Identical shapes are cut out from photographs.
- Parts of the same shape are cut out from a plastic plate.
- Each photograph is glued to a plastic part, and then the back parts are glued together.
- The edges of the resulting part along the perimeter are melted using a lighter. This operation requires special care and precision. Otherwise, the workpiece will be irreparably damaged.
- A chain is glued to the edges at the melting points around the perimeter. After this, you need to wait about 20 minutes for the glue to dry.
The pendant is worn on a chain or cord.
Clay pendant
One of the most popular materials for making beautiful handmade pendants is polymer clay.
To work you will need:
- Polymer clay of two sharply different colors.
- Metal tape (wire).
- Parts of different sizes are cylindrical in shape.
- Plastic rolling pin.
- Transparent acrylic varnish.
- Pin.
- Ceramic, glass or plastic board as a working surface.
- Protective gloves (optional).
Stages of work
- Bend the metal strip (wire) at the end to give it a spiral shape.
- Bend the other end of the ribbon using cylindrical pieces to give it a zigzag shape.
- The tape should be aligned so that, when placed on a flat surface, it is in the same plane.
- The clay must be kneaded, both pieces of different colors must be rolled out into sheets and folded.
- The blank is then rolled into a spiral so that the lighter color becomes dominant.
- The resulting part is bent several times and rolled out to a cylindrical state.
- The resulting cylinder is rolled out into a sheet.
- The wire element is carefully pressed into a flat clay sheet.
- Excess material is removed.
- A ball is molded from a piece of dark clay and fixed with a pin on the top of the main workpiece.
- Polymer clay is baked at the temperature indicated on its original packaging. After cooling, the workpiece is coated with a layer of varnish.
Valuable varieties by year with descriptions and prices
Here we will look at how much 10 rubles cost in different years of production.
2009
The list of 10 rubles that are expensive is headed by coins issued in 2009, in which the mint’s trademark is located in a non-standard place (moved towards the letter “I” or located between the letter and the eagle’s paw). The price of 10 rubles reaches 2 thousand rubles. But these are exactly what an ordinary person can actually find in his wallet. According to statistics, one rare coin is found among five hundred standard monetary units.
2010
If in the first year of issue tens were minted only in Moscow, then from the next year St. Petersburg also joined the process. SPMD produced a number of copies in which the protective lines in the inner zone of the zero touch the walls of the digit. Today such copies can be sold for thousands of rubles apiece.
2011
In 2011, the production of ten-ruble coins at SPMD was officially discontinued. However, several trial copies did end up in circulation. Today they are considered one of the most expensive coins in Russia. Their cost can reach up to 300 thousand rubles.
2012
This year's rare tens are those whose outermost lines inside the zero circle were very thick. The price of such a monetary unit in some years reached 30 thousand rubles. However, recently some numismatists have suggested that the coin is an ordinary fake. Therefore, trading on it was suspended in 2022. It can also be sold profitably in a private transaction, but the price of 10 rubles will be significantly lower.
Although the issue of tens in St. Petersburg for 2012 has not been carried out for two years, at this time SPMD is releasing several dozen such coins. It is unclear why this was done. Perhaps a sample. Special order possible. The price of such monetary units today can reach up to 300 thousand rubles.
2013
A unique batch of tens was minted at the Moscow Mint this year. It had a font of the year of production, unusual for this series. For example, the ends of the number “3” on it are not curved, but end in a straight tail. The price for such copies can reach up to 100,000 rubles.
2016
And again the mint of the northern capital is different. He issues a trial batch of coins of this denomination. Their cost today is 300 thousand rubles. Moscow also did not stand aside. On a number of monetary units this year, the trademark designation is shifted to the eagle's paw. Collectors value them at 50-100 thousand rubles.
2017-2021
At the moment, information about rare 10-ruble coins from these years of issue is unknown. However, this does not mean that they do not exist at all. Perhaps information about this period will appear a little later. In any case, it is recommended to take a closer look at coins of any year of issue. If a person notices that a monetary unit has some feature that makes it different from its analogues, he can be sure that this is a rare coin that can be sold at a profit. It is only important to be able to determine this correctly.
Note! Coins that have a manufacturing defect are considered rare specimens. They can also be found among the ten-ruble bills of modern Russia. As a rule, these are unchecked, splits and image displacement. For such monetary units a person can receive from 150 to 5 thousand rubles.
Next, we will look at what 10 rubles are valued with the table.
Pendant made from scrap materials
What can you make an original pendant from? For example, from four pieces of felt of different colors, three multi-colored rectangles measuring 10x1.5 cm, and 9 pieces measuring 7x1 cm are cut out.
The cut parts are rolled up. Moreover, one tube is rolled out of three multi-colored rectangles.
Manufacturing process
During rolling, the felt is glued with textile glue, and after that the rolls are connected to form a flower. The ring for the chain is threaded through the petal by piercing it with an awl or a thick needle.

Leather pendant
There are other options and ideas on how to make a pendant. To make a leather pendant, you will need four oval-shaped templates, which are cut out of cardboard. One of the oval templates should be larger than the others.
Then similar elements are cut out of the leather, but with an allowance of 1.5-2 mm for wrapping and gluing it to the back side of the katon template.
Sequence of work
Two oblong elements should be cut out of light-colored leather, and then glued together like cords. One cord should decorate the pendant, and the other should be a facet-cut stone or cabochon. Decorative details should be made from two pieces of leather of light and dark colors, having previously crumpled them. To do this, it is necessary to place crumpled leather blanks on a plastic film coated with glue to form folds on them.
The finished elements are placed on the main blank, small parts and crumpled pieces of leather are placed in free space and decorated with cords. You can hang the resulting pendant on a light leather cord with decorative knots.

Coin pendant
Making this bat craft requires masculine strength. You will need a ten-ruble coin, which must be treated with abrasive paper. The hole for the ring is drilled with a small diameter drill.
The central part of the coin is removed with a hammer using a bearing. The image is applied to the central part of the coin, fixed in a vice, using needle files, a special jigsaw and a diamond bur.
