Two 1920 British threepence coins soldered on to sterling silver jumprings.

These coins have a 50% silver content and are very delicate slim pieces. Each pair of earrings takes days to make with meticulous attention to detail at every stage. I 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 earrings may vary slightly from the images shown. Every pair is handled carefully to ensure you receive the highest quality product possible.
Eco-friendly and sustainable:
1. Made to order by hand in my home-based workshop so the carbon footprint is low.
2. Each earring is made from pre-circulated coins and as such I recycle metals.
3. The jewellery box is FSC certified meaning it meets the gold standard of ethical production - the wood is harvested from trees which are socially managed, environmentally conscious and economically viable.
4. Outer packaging is cardboard so can easily be recycled, void filler is from recycled shredded paper that I shred myself.
Please avoid wearing your earrings if they are likely to get wet eg, showering, swimming. They are unlikely to become damaged but excessive moisture will dull the shine quicker.
