A Little More Detail…
In the UK, silver-coloured coins minted pre-1919 were made from 925 silver – more commonly known as sterling silver. This quality of silver, no longer in general currency, is ideal for jewellery purposes, and the coin’s nature gives each piece an inherent added layer of history and charm. These coins, whilst once being a foundational part of society and culture, now have almost no value, being too scarred and worn for collecting purposes. So, instead of letting these beautiful coins (most over 100 years old!) be melted down, I reshape them into a timeless piece of unique and handmade jewellery that can be treasured for a lifetime.
Each one of these rings is a labour of love and will require many hours of concentration to carve away the silver coin to reveal the silver grove you have selected. The lead-time is a little longer to create these so please allow 4 weeks if possible.
