A refined British classic, reimagined as a modern lapel pin.
This British sixpence lapel pin is made using a genuine historic sixpence, carefully mounted onto a silver-plated lapel pin fitting and finished by hand in our Cambridge workshop. Understated and timeless, it’s designed to sit neatly on a jacket lapel and add meaning without drawing attention away from the overall look.
You can choose a specific year, making this a particularly thoughtful gift - whether to mark a birth year, wedding year, or another meaningful date.
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.
Please note: Images may show multiple lapel pins to illustrate different dates and designs. This listing is for one (1) lapel pin, made with the year you select.
Depending on the year selected, the sixpence will feature one of two monarchs:
-
1937-1951: King George VI
- 1953-1951: Queen Elizabeth II
Both versions carry the familiar sixpence design and deep-rooted associations with good fortune, prosperity, and British tradition. Please note that coins dated 1952 are not available due to very low mintage of sixpences that year.
Each coin shows natural signs of age and circulation, giving every lapel pin its own unique character and history.
A meaningful choice for weddings & gifting
The sixpence has long been associated with weddings and good luck, traditionally worn by brides but it also makes a beautifully understated accessory for grooms and groomsmen.
This lapel pin is ideal for:
- Weddings and formal occasions
- Grooms and groomsmen
- Milestone birthdays and anniversaries
- Those who appreciate British heritage and craftsmanship
It pairs especially well with tweed, wool, linen, and classic tailoring.
Styling note
Wear on the left lapel, positioned in or near the buttonhole, for a classic and balanced look. The secure pin fitting ensures the coin sits flat and comfortably without damaging fabric.
As with all Mintique of Cambridge pieces, this lapel pin is made slowly and intentionally bringing together authentic British coins and careful craftsmanship to create something meaningful rather than mass-produced.
