    Full Description

    • At the heart of this bridal pin hangs a genuine Queen Elizabeth II sixpence, struck between 1953 and 1967 - the classic era of the wedding sixpence, and a true something old. Each coin is carefully cleaned and preserved to retain its original character and history.
    • Paired with this are two elegant charms: A luminous white freshwater pearl, symbolising purity, love, and new beginnings - a nod to 'something new'. A faceted Blue Topaz teardrop catching the light with soft sparkle - your 'something blue'.
    • The charms are suspended from a silver-tone safety pin and finished with a soft baby blue ribbon, tied by hand for a delicate, understated finish.
    • Includes a beautifully designed Sixpence history card, sharing the story, symbolism, and tradition behind this iconic British coin - from “something old” wedding customs to its place in everyday life.
    • This piece can be upgraded with our Mintique of Cambridge luxury branded jewellery box, designed to complement the heritage nature of our jewellery and make the unboxing experience feel truly special. Perfect for gifting.
    • Arrives ready for gifting, with the care and attention you expect from Mintique of Cambridge where history, craftsmanship, and sentiment meet.
