Strawberry Moon – gazing hare
Strawberry Moon Hare coin necklace – handmade and recycled little halfpenny coin
These are definitely tiny, sweet little charms / necklaces. Each piece is carefully and considerately handcrafted from a very small UK half penny. This coin is no longer in circulation; 1984 was its last year of minting as it was impossible to buy anything with a ha’penny any more. It is only a tiny 17 mm diameter coin, and I have realised how much I miss these being in circulation! I used to buy sickly little ½ penny chewy sweets as a little boy, and working with these bring me back… It really is a beautiful little coin to work with, although quite challenging because of its size – for instance, the magical mushroom is only 3mm tall and the hare 5mm tall.
If you are looking for a 40th or 50th Birthday gift then I have a small selection of special years. 1971 – 1984 that I have managed to secure. This date is visible on the front bottom left of the pendant, and will add an extra special birthday touch. If date is not important, I will find the best wee ha’penny I get my grubby mitts on. Then, I will make into your own Stonehenge solstice coin necklace.
Size : diameter 17 mm

Yet again another stunning piece of jewellery. Fine intricate work flawlessly carried out. My partner loves this piece just like all the others we have purchased.
