A meaningful piece of Regency-era craftsmanship
This rare sterling silver ring is handmade from a genuine British shilling minted between 1817 and 1820, during the Regency Period and the reign of King George III. With its intricate detail and robust feel, this ring is over 200 years old and embodies the passage of time — a quiet, powerful tribute to stories untold.
Perfect as a wedding band, anniversary token, or gift for the history lover in your life.

The creation process
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!).
