Gift the perfect handmade necklace to friends, family or even bridesmaids with this Queen Elizabeth 2nd sixpence necklace in 18 carat gold plate or non-plated featuring two soldered Sixpence coins, one head and one tail facing both ways made popular by TV presenter Holly Willoughby.

The 18 carat yellow gold plated coins are suspended on a delicate high quality sterling silver chain plated in 18 carat gold chain. In response to your valuable feedback, we've innovated our design with a significant improvement: the addition of a clear, jewelry-grade epoxy resin on one side of the necklace. This protective layer is crafted to rest gently against your skin or clothing, effectively preserving the necklace's radiant gold plating. This subtle yet essential enhancement ensures that the beauty of your necklace endures through regular wear, keeping it as stunning as the day you first put it on. Please note that the resin is intended to face inwards, in contact with your skin or garments, safeguarding the gold from natural wear and maintaining its exquisite luster.

The original non-plated coins have a sterling silver chain. All are finished with a high polish complete with protective layer.

Each chain is 18 inches in length. The gold plated pieces have an additional jump ring on the chain so that they can be worn at the 16 inch length.

"Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a silver sixpence in her shoe". The Sixpence is believed to bring wealth and happiness in the marriage so why not modernise the tradition and gift a pair of beautiful sixpences to the bride to wear as a necklace instead? Ideal as bridesmaids gifts too! Much sought after, this style of necklace has become popular with celebrities due to its versatility and simplicity. It would look equally as good teamed with a casual daytime outfit as it would finishing off an evening dress. A fantastic wedding gift, anniversary gift, birthday gift - anything gift!

One side of the coin has an attractive floral design and the head of Queen Elizabeth II on the other side.

Your coins will be a pair of dates between 1953 and 1967.

Please note the chain length selected is for the chain only and is added to the pendant. This pendant is 33mm in width and the chain will be 18 inches so an 18 inch chain would be attached to the pendant making the entire length of the necklace from clasp to clasp 19.3 inches/49cm.

Each necklace takes days to make with meticulous attention to detail at every stage. We only use genuine publicly circulated coins with every effort made to use those with minimal marking rejecting any that have become too worn by the hands of time. Finished necklaces may vary slightly from the images shown. Every one is handled carefully to ensure you receive the highest quality product possible. Presented in a stylish box.

Sixpence coins from this era were minted in cupronickel - each necklace will arrive polished to a high shine which can be easily maintained with an occasional gentle rub with a microfibre cloth. Please consider this metal when purchasing if you have allergies. The coin is palladium plated under the gold plate specifically to act as a barrier plate on jewellery. However the wearer of this necklace should strongly consider if they have a nickel allergy - although I have taken steps to protect the wearer a small amount of nickel may still make contact with the skin.
