A classic statement piece with real British history behind it.

This British sixpence tie pin features a genuine vintage sixpence, carefully soldered onto a classic silver-plated tie pin and finished by hand in our Cambridge workshop. Understated and timeless, it’s designed for men who appreciate meaningful details rather than loud accessories.

Because you can choose the year, this piece becomes more than just an accessory - it becomes personal. Whether worn on a wedding day, at a formal event, or kept as a personal talisman, this is a piece that carries both story and substance.

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.

Please note: Images may show multiple tie pins to illustrate different dates and designs. This listing is for one (1) tie pin, made with the year you select.

Depending on the year selected, the sixpence will feature one of two monarchs:

  • 1937-1951: King George VI

  • 1953-1967: Queen Elizabeth II

Both versions carry the familiar sixpence design and deep-rooted associations with good fortune, prosperity, and British tradition. Please note that coins dated 1952 are not available due to very low mintage of sixpences that year.

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.
