This sterling silver coin ring is handcrafted from a genuine British sixpence over 200 years old dated between 1817 and 1820 — a time when these tiny coins were more than currency: they were symbols of sentiment.
The sixpence has long been associated with luck, prosperity, and family tradition, often passed down as heirlooms or hidden in a bride’s shoe for good fortune. Slim yet solid, this ring brings subtle charm and history to every hand it adorns.
Whether worn as a wedding band, promise ring, or meaningful daily piece, this is jewellery that tells a story.
First minted in the 1500s, the sixpence was deeply rooted in wedding tradition by the 1800s, often gifted by loved ones or tucked into keepsake boxes. "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a sixpence in her shoe."
• Sixpences were called “lucky money” in Victorian wedding customs
• Many were gifted by grandparents to mark life milestones
• Pre-1920 sixpences were sterling silver, perfect for lasting jewellery

Each ring takes several days to make, with meticulous attention to detail at every stage. I only use genuine, publicly circulated coins, rejecting any that are overly worn or damaged by time.
Because of the handmade process and natural variations in minting years, each finished ring may differ slightly from the photos shown — that's what makes yours completely unique.
Your ring will arrive in a beautiful presentation box, ready to gift (or keep for yourself!).
Looking for a symbolic pair of rings for your wedding or commitment ceremony? We also offer 1800s Sixpence and Shilling coin rings as a set, perfect for couples who want history, meaning, and beauty — together.
(Bonus: It’s more affordable than buying individually, and you'll find them in our Wedding Ring Collection.)

Necklaces: The easiest way to work out your preferred necklace size is to find a necklace you already wear and like the length of. Open it and measure clasp to clasp. This will give you the total length. Bear in mind if you are ordering a double coin necklace this will add to the over all length i.e ordering an 18 inch Sixpence double coin necklace will result in an overall length of 18 inches PLUS the width of the 2 coins.
Rings: Please place your order with your best guess. I always double check your ring size before sending your handmade ring to you - find out more about my Perfect Fit Method here.
