A graceful design that brings Irish history gently into everyday wear.
These Irish threepence coin earrings are made using genuine pre-decimal Irish coins, each suspended from sterling silver ear wires and finished by hand in our Cambridge workshop. Light and fluid, they’re designed to move softly as you wear them, catching the light without feeling heavy or overworked.
The Irish threepence carries strong cultural meaning. Featuring the traditional Celtic harp with date on the obverse and an Irish hare on the reverse, it symbolises Irish identity, heritage, and resilience. Once part of daily life, these coins now offer a beautiful connection to the past reimagined as wearable keepsakes.
With their gentle movement and refined simplicity, these earrings work just as well with relaxed everyday outfits as they do with more considered looks.
They pair beautifully with the single and double Irish threepence necklaces for a coordinated, heritage-led set. When purchased with the matching necklace, these earrings are automatically discounted at checkout.
This piece can be upgraded with our Mintique of Cambridge luxury branded jewellery box, designed to complement the heritage nature of our jewellery and make the unboxing experience feel truly special. Perfect for gifting.
Each coin shows subtle variation from age and circulation, giving every pair its own quiet character. Choose a coin date (shown on the obverse) or let us choose for you.
A thoughtful gift with heritage
These earrings make a meaningful gift for:
- Those with Irish roots or connections
- Birthdays, anniversaries, or special milestones
- Lovers of simple, story-led jewellery
- Women who prefer pieces that feel personal rather than trend-driven
Designed to be worn often and loved over time, they offer a softer alternative to statement jewellery.
As with all Mintique of Cambridge designs, these earrings are made slowly and intentionally honouring historic materials while creating jewellery that feels timeless, not mass-produced.
