A minimalist statement piece rooted in British wedding tradition.
This single British sixpence necklace features a genuine Queen Elizabeth II sixpence coin carefully soldered onto a sterling silver jump ring and suspended from a delicate sterling silver chain. Each piece is finished by hand in our Cambridge workshop, creating a necklace that is simple, meaningful, and easy to wear.
The sixpence has long been associated with luck, prosperity, and happiness, particularly in British weddings. Traditionally placed in a bride’s shoe, it appears in the familiar rhyme:
“Something old, something new,
Something borrowed, something blue,
And a silver sixpence in her shoe.”
This necklace offers a modern way to wear that tradition - close to the heart, rather than hidden away - making it a thoughtful choice for brides, bridesmaids, or anyone drawn to jewellery with story and symbolism.
Matching earrings are designed to pair with this necklace and are automatically discounted when added to your order.
Coin design & symbolism
The sixpence features:
- The portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side
- A floral reverse design representing the nations of the United Kingdom on the other
Struck between 1953 and 1967, these coins carry both historic significance and a sense of continuity, making each necklace quietly special.
Each coin is carefully selected from circulation and polished by hand, with gentle signs of age that add to its individual character and authenticity.
A meaningful gift
This necklace makes a thoughtful and enduring gift for:
- Brides and bridal parties
- Weddings and anniversaries
- Milestone birthdays
- Anyone drawn to British heritage and timeless design
For an elevated gifting experience, this necklace can be upgraded to arrive in our Mintique of Cambridge luxury branded jewellery box, making it particularly special for weddings and important occasions.
Care & materials note
Sixpences from this era were minted in cupronickel and are polished to a bright finish, which can be easily maintained with an occasional gentle wipe using a soft cloth or using a jewellery polish cloth (add our own recommended cloth to your order).
If you have a known nickel sensitivity, please consider this when purchasing, as small amounts of nickel may come into contact with the skin. 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.
Delivered in a branded box - upgrade to our luxury gift box for the perfect gifting experience.
