Queen Elizabeth II Sixpence Double Coin Necklace | 18k Gold Plated

• The sixpence has long been associated with luck, prosperity, and happiness, particularly in British wedding tradition: "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a silver sixpence in her shoe". Traditionally tucked into a bride’s shoe, this necklace offers a modern way to wear that symbolism reimagined as a meaningful piece of jewellery to be worn and treasured long after the day itself.
• Balanced, elegant, and easy to wear, this design works just as beautifully with everyday outfits as it does with occasion wear, making it one of our most loved and gifted pieces. This double sixpence necklace is inspired by pieces worn by celebrities, such as TV presenter Holly Willoughby, and features two genuine Queen Elizabeth II sixpence coins, carefully soldered together with one showing the obverse and the other the reverse, allowing the design to be enjoyed from both sides.
• Includes a beautifully designed Sixpence history card, sharing the story, symbolism, and tradition behind this iconic British coin - from “something old” wedding customs to its place in everyday life.
• Care & materials note: Sixpences from this era were minted in cupronickel. While the resin layer helps minimise contact with the skin, those with a known nickel sensitivity should consider this carefully before purchasing. If you require a hypoallergenic alternative, we also offer similar designs made using sterling silver sixpence coins.
• As with all Mintique of Cambridge designs, this necklace is made slowly and intentionally using genuine historic coins and careful craftsmanship to create jewellery that feels personal rather than mass-produced.
