Lucky Sixpence Solstice

ancient English traditional jewellery handmade in Cambridge using traditional tools and techniques.

The peak of summer

The butterflies scatter,

A plume of colour

Red, lilac and brown.

The cornfield stretches in the sunlight

Golden, bright and endless

Ears of corn and the blue of the sky

The clouds billowing in the corners

There is greatness in the simplicity of summer

Lucky Sixpence Solstice

Recycled silver sixpence coin Solstice necklace

I hand-make this beautiful little Solstice pendant an 100 year old silver sixpence coin. Using a marker pen, I drop a quick Solstice sketch onto the surface of the lucky sixpence. I then meticulously carve away the design with a traditional hand chisels and cut details using a traditional jewellers saw. Once I cut the details, I give the pendant an extremely bright polishing which really brings the coin to life.

The coins I use are marred from wear marks from being used to buy and sell over one hundred years ago. Rather than let them simply be melted down for the silver content, I absolutely love coming up with designs and ideas. Then, I can transform them into a little Solstice. By doing this I retain the historical details, simultaneously adding depth, interest and intrigue to the design.

I have individually hand-cut, carved and engraved the solstice from the silver sixpence with a traditional jewellers hand tools. As I hand-cut each coin individually to order, every one is completely unique and unusual. They look and feel special. If you liked this little Solstice, why not have a look at a little Winter Solstice to match?

    I have got the Lucky Six Pence Winter Solstice as a 30th birthday present from my mum. This is the most amazing necklace I have ever owned and I wear it every day! Les is the kindest and most creative person I have ever met! I will definitely buy more if his art as it’s extremely special!
