Sterling Silver Gift Set: George V Sixpence Necklace & Threepence Earrings
1/10
Additional Gift

The perfect gift set for someone special! A sterling silver King George V wartime sixpence coin necklace suspended from a sterling silver 18 inch length chain and a pair of sterling silver threepence coin earrings on sterling silver ear wires. This style of earrings and necklace are very on trend and will be the thing to be seen in this season. These earrings and necklace will be handmade just for you - this is a unique design and unlike any other you will ever find on the highstreet (or on Etsy for that matter)!

The necklace features a sterling silver sixpence coin with the attractive Lion and Crown design on one side and the head of King George V on the other side. "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a silver sixpence in her shoe". The Sixpence is believed to bring wealth and happiness in the marriage so why not modernise the tradition and gift a beautiful sixpence to the bride to wear as a necklace instead? Ideal as bridesmaids gifts too! Much sought after, this style of necklace has become popular with celebrities due to its versatility and simplicity. It would look equally as good teamed with a casual daytime outfit as it would finishing off an evening dress. A fantastic wedding gift, anniversary gift, birthday gift - anything gift!

The earrings are a pair of handmade tiny delicate dainty coin earrings made from genuine British Threepence coins with sterling silver ear wires. The perfect special gift for your wife, girlfriend, mother, bridesmaids or even yourself!

This stunning minimalist jewellery gift set is handmade to order just for you in our Cambridge workshop. Silver is fast becoming scarce and expensive so grab your beautiful sterling silver jewellery set while you can! I only use genuine coins (no casts) so your jewellery was once currency! All other components (jump rings, chain and ear wires) are sterling silver so are of a much higher quality than some of the other silver plated jewellery you may find.

Your jewellery set will arrive in a Mintique Of Cambridge jewellery box inside branded packaging - already perfect to gift straight to a loved one. Each pair of earrings and necklace will arrive polished to a high shine which can be easily maintained with an occasional gentle rub with a microfibre cloth. Reverse of coin visible.

Each coin is carefully selected for quality and detail, the large 3 in the centre of the earrings indicates it's previous value (threepence - also known as thrupenny or thrupenny bit). The necklace features the lion and crown in the centre of the coin face with SIXPENCE written clearly on the lower edge. These coins have a high silver content and are very delicate slim pieces. They are also hypoallergenic because they are sterling silver.

Alternatively a similar set using a King Edward sixpence coin instead of the King George V sixpence is available.

Why not add an extra something special? Under the drop down menu 'Additional gift' simply add the pouch and cloth option (see images) for a little extra gift. A white organic cotton pouch with a high quality polishing cloth presented in a stylish gold organza pouch. Always have somewhere safe to store Mintique of Cambridge jewellery whether at the gym, swimming, on holiday - anywhere! The perfect finish to your gift!

Each jewellery set takes days to make with meticulous attention to detail at every stage. I 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 and necklace may vary slightly from the images shown. Every pair is handled carefully to ensure you receive the highest quality product possible. Please get in touch with me if you have any questions - I respond quickly and love to learn more about my customers needs and wants.

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.
