American Dime two coin necklace with sterling silver chain lying on a map
1/13
Necklace length

A modern American classic, reimagined as a wearable keepsake.

This Roosevelt dime double coin necklace features two genuine Roosevelt dimes, layered together to create a striking, tactile pendant with depth, movement, and story. Clean-lined and quietly bold, it’s a piece that works just as well for everyday wear as it does for meaningful gifting.

The Roosevelt dime has been in circulation since 1946, commemorating President Franklin D. Roosevelt and symbolising strength, resilience, and progress. Each coin retains its original detail - from Roosevelt’s profile to the torch, olive branch and oak leaves on the reverse - celebrating American heritage through honest materials.

The two coins are carefully aligned and finished by hand in our Cambridge workshop, then suspended from a sterling silver chain for a timeless, understated finish.

This necklace sits flat against the skin, making it ideal for layering or wearing alone as a statement of personal history, travel, or connection to the USA.

Matching earrings are designed to pair with this necklace and are automatically discounted when added to your order.

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.

A note on skin sensitivities

The dimes used in this necklace are made from cupronickel, which contains nickel.
If you have a known nickel allergy or sensitivity, we gently recommend choosing one of our sterling silver sixpence necklaces instead, which are naturally nickel-free.

If you’re unsure, feel free to get in touch - we’re always happy to help you choose the right piece.

How do I choose my necklace length or ring size?

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.
