A quietly elegant pair, made from genuine pieces of Irish history.
These Irish threepence coin earrings feature authentic pre-decimal Irish coins, delicately suspended from sterling silver ear posts with a classic ball front and sterling silver butterfly backs. Lightweight and understated, they’re designed for everyday wear while still carrying deep cultural meaning.
The Irish threepence is rich in symbolism. Featuring the iconic Celtic harp with date on the obverse and an Irish hare on the reverse, it represents Irish identity, independence, and resilience. Once part of daily life in Ireland, these coins now offer a tangible link to the past reimagined as wearable heritage.
Whether worn as a subtle nod to Irish roots or simply loved for their delicate, minimalist style, these earrings are easy to wear, easy to gift, and full of quiet story. They pair beautifully with the single and double Irish threepence necklaces for a thoughtful, coordinated 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 gentle signs of age and circulation, giving every pair its own unique character and authenticity. Choose a coin date (shown on the obverse) or let us choose for you.
A thoughtful gift with meaning
These earrings make a meaningful gift for:
- Irish heritage or Celtic design lovers
- Birthdays and milestone occasions
- Thoughtful everyday jewellery gifts
- Women who favour understated, meaningful pieces
They pair beautifully with knitwear, linen, crisp shirts, or simple dresses - designed to be worn often, not saved for best.
As with all Mintique of Cambridge designs, these earrings are made slowly and intentionally honouring history while creating jewellery that feels personal, timeless, and never mass-produced.
