A refined detail with real American history behind it.
This American dime lapel pin is made using a genuine modern Roosevelt dime, carefully mounted onto a classic silver plated lapel pin fitting and finished by hand in our Cambridge workshop. Understated and timeless, it’s designed to sit neatly on a jacket lapel without overwhelming the overall look.
The reverse of the dime - featuring a torch flanked by an olive branch and oak leaves - faces outward in this design. Together, these symbols represent liberty, peace, and strength, making this a meaningful choice for weddings, formal occasions, and milestone moments.
Worn on a suit jacket, blazer, or coat, this lapel pin offers a subtle alternative to traditional boutonnières, with the added depth of genuine heritage.
This piece can be upgraded with our Mintique of Cambridge luxury branded jewellery box, designed to complement the heritage nature of our jewellery and make the unboxing experience feel truly special. Perfect for gifting.

Men who favour understated, US heritage-inspired accessories
This lapel pin pairs particularly well with tweed, linen, or classic tailoring and works beautifully alongside our matching American dime tie pin.
Wear on the left lapel, positioned in the or near the buttonhole, for a classic and balanced look. The pin fastening keeps the piece secure without damaging the fabric.
As with all Mintique of Cambridge designs, this piece is made slowly and intentionally combining authentic coins with modern craftsmanship to create accessories that feel personal rather than mass-produced.

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.
