The lucky shilling...
These lovely little lucky charms are a great gift for yourself or a close friend. Each one is handcrafted from a genuine sterling silver pre 1919 English silver shilling.
Sterling silver was the choice material of all English Threepence's, Sixpence's, Shilling's, Florins, Half-Crowns and Crown coins before 1919. This presents a great opportunity to create precious metal recycled jewellery.
The vast majority of these coins have suffered substantial wear over their years of circulation. It is these coins which are not valued by most coin collectors. In most cases these coins are acquired to be melted down for the basic silver value. This disappointing truth means that all of the history, detailsand interest of the coin are lost forever. Recycling the coins allows these original details to survive and become conversation. Obviously it is important for the piece of jewellery to be desirable, wearable and beautiful!
To further personalise the pendant you are welcome to provide a set of initials, short name, date, etc which i can carve into the surface of the coin making it a truely personal piece of luck.
