Silver wedding ring set: handmade coin rings using Shilling and Sixpence 1817 coins

Mass-produced rings from the high street? Not your style.

You’re the kind of couple who values meaning over marketing, memories over mass production, and craftsmanship over convenience. This one-of-a-kind antique coin ring set was made for both of you.

This pair of antique sterling silver rings is handmade from two genuine 1817 British sterling silver coins — over 200 years old and rich with real history. No replicas. No generic castings. Just wearable heritage, shaped just for you.

The smaller Sixpence ring is lightweight and subtle, perfect for slim fingers. The Shilling is thicker and more robust, designed to stand out. Whether you wear them as a couple’s set or individually, they’re guaranteed to draw attention and spark conversation.

Why choose these rings?

Because your love isn’t off-the-shelf - and your rings shouldn’t be either.

These are heirloom-quality wedding bands that whisper stories of the past while carrying your promise for the future. They're rare, characterful, and steeped in British history - a perfect mix of meaningful and jaw-droppingly cool.

Coin History: Why 1817?

These rings are made from original coins minted in 1817, during the reign of King George III. It was a time of sweeping reform, scientific discovery, and post-Napoleonic optimism - a chapter that shaped modern Britain. Wearing an 1817 coin ring is like wrapping your finger in a time capsule.

The making of your heirloom

Each ring is meticulously crafted over several days, with attention to detail at every stage. I only use genuine, publicly circulated coins, rejecting any that are overly worn or damaged by time. 

Because of the handmade process and natural variations in minting years, each finished ring may differ slightly from the photos shown - that's what makes yours completely unique.

Your rings will arrive in a beautiful presentation box, ready for your wedding day.

These are more than rings. They're vows you can wear.
Crafted from real 1817 coins, they’re over 200 years old — and impossible to replace once we run out. We can’t just mint more.

Make your wedding unforgettable. Choose rings as rare as your story.
