A ring with legacy, love, and luck
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.
Coin history
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

Your ring, made with care
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!).

I would highly recommend Katie’s (the seller) shop. She had great communication on Etsy about sizing for this special antique coin ring to make sure it would fit perfectly. She decided to send a second ring sizer after she thought the first one took a while to arrive with international shipping. The ring fit perfectly and she shipped everything very quickly. The ring, a necklace, and the earrings that I also bought from her shop looked exactly like the description and everything had beautiful packaging. I’m very pleased with my purchase.
This seller is why we should support independent sellers. Katie has knocked it out of the park in every way: fabulous customer service-great and prompt communication, beautiful jewellery that’s beautifully packaged. I had purchased the double coin necklace and wanted the ring to match. I ordered using the ring sizer but when the ring arrived it was too small. Without hesitation Katie offered to resize it, I sent it back and it was resized and returned in less than a week, beautifully sized. It’s a gorgeous ring, lovely really bright silver. The pattern from the coin makes it just that little bit different too. It’s a ring I will really enjoy wearing every day and I wouldn’t hesitate to buy more of Katie’s beautiful jewellery.
Thank you Katie!
