Queen Elizabeth II Sixpence Double Coin Necklace | Silver

• The sixpence holds a special place in British wedding tradition, long associated with luck, prosperity, and happiness. Traditionally placed in a bride’s shoe, this piece offers a modern way to wear that symbolism thoughtfully reimagined as a necklace to be worn and treasured long after the day itself.
• With its clean lines and balanced design, this necklace is quietly striking yet easy to wear. Inspired by pieces worn by celebrities, such as TV presenter Holly Willoughby, it works just as beautifully with everyday outfits as it does with occasion wear, making it one of our most loved and enduring designs.
• Coin design & symbolism: The portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on one side, a floral reverse design representing the nations of the United Kingdom on the other. By pairing two coins back-to-back, this necklace celebrates both sides of the sixpence - history and design, tradition and modern wearability.
• 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 and are polished to a bright finish. This can be easily maintained with an occasional gentle wipe using a soft cloth. If you have a known nickel sensitivity, please consider this when purchasing, as small amounts of nickel may come into contact with the skin.
• 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.
