Quantity

A pair of delicate handmade earrings made from genuine silver British Threepence coins with sterling silver ear posts with sterling silver butterflies. Reverse of coin visible.

Each coin is carefully selected for quality and detail, the large 3 in the centre indicates it's previous value (threepence - also known as thrupenny or thrupenny bit).

These coins have a high silver content and are very delicate slim pieces.

Each pair of earrings takes days to make with meticulous attention to detail at every stage. We only use genuine publicly circulated coins with every effort made to use those with minimal marking rejecting any that have become too worn by the hands of time. Finished earrings may vary slightly from the images shown. Every pair is handled carefully to ensure you receive the highest quality product possible.

Also available with an ear wire instead of ear post.

Delivered in a branded box - upgrade to our luxury gift box for the perfect gifting experience.
