A beautiful handmade enamelled necklace featuring a Queen Elizabeth 2nd Sixpence coin suspended on a delicate sterling silver chain with a solid back (reverse of coin not visible). Enjoy this coin necklace plain with a high polish or customise with hand painted enamel and/or specific date to really stand out from the crowd. "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 give the bride a sixpence necklace to wear instead? Or treat yourself to an unusual piece of jewellery so you can carry a little piece of luck with you every day.
One side of the coin has an attractive floral design and the head of Queen Elizabeth II on the other side.

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.
