A charm of Irish heritage and a symbol of gentle strength.
This genuine Irish Threepence coin features the graceful hare - an animal long associated with luck, protection, and renewal. Each coin is carefully restored and transformed by hand in our Cambridge workshop, creating a necklace that’s as meaningful as it is beautiful.
It’s the perfect keepsake for celebrating Irish roots, marking a special occasion, or gifting someone you love with a touch of history.
A thoughtful gift for:
Birthdays, anniversaries, or “just because” moments
Brides and bridesmaids with Irish heritage
Good-luck gifts for new beginnings

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.
