Pair of rare 1818 British Sterling Silver Sixpence and Shilling Coin Rings Wedding Bands

Not all wedding rings are created equal.

Some are factory-made. Mass-produced. Forgettable.

These aren’t.

This rare set of antique rings is handmade from genuine 1818 British sterling silver coins – and we can’t stress this enough: these are incredibly hard to come by. You’re not just wearing rings. You’re wearing history, aged over 200 years, with the character and weight to prove it.

The Sixpence ring is dainty and elegant, perfect for smaller fingers. The Shilling adds balance with its broader, more masculine feel. Together, they make a powerful statement: 'We chose something rare, meaningful, and built to last - just like our relationship.'

Why choose these rings?

Because this level of rarity doesn’t come along every day — and neither does a love like yours.

1818 Sixpence and Shilling coins are among the rarest in our entire collection. Finding a matching pair in good enough condition to craft into rings is no small feat. That makes this set more than symbolic — it’s an heirloom in the making.

You're not settling for a cookie-cutter wedding band. You're choosing real craftsmanship, a genuine piece of history, and a love story told in silver. These rings are bold, beautiful, and unapologetically personal.

Coin History: Why 1818?

These rings are made from original coins minted in 1818, during the reign of King George III. This year was part of Britain's post-Napoleonic recovery, a period of rapid progress in science, society, and trade, as the British Empire expanded its global reach.

Wearing a coin from 1818 is wearing a moment in time — one almost impossible to replicate today.

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 aren’t just rings. They’re vows cast in sterling silver. Handcrafted from genuine 1818 coins, each over 200 years old, this pair is exceptionally rare. Only a handful remain in suitable condition - and once they’re gone, they’re gone for good. You can’t just mint more history.

Make your wedding unforgettable with rings as extraordinary as your story.
