Our Craftsmanship

Each necklace takes days to make. Every coin is inspected, cleaned, and reshaped by hand. Never over-restored, allowing its original character to shine through. You’ll notice the difference in the weight, finish, and attention to detail that define true craftsmanship.

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.
