Sterling Silver 1905 Threepence Pearl Bracelet
$185.00
A beautiful handwired sterling silver chain and pearl bracelet featuring an original 1906 British threepence, dyed sapphire charm and sterling silver toggle clasp. A unique and special bracelet.
The British threepence was known as a threepence or threepenny bit and was first used in England during the reign of Edward VI (1547-53). All threepences minted from 1816 to 1919 were made of sterling silver and those produced between 1920 and 1946 were half silver, half nickel. These coins were often made into bracelets by soldiers serving in WWII to send home to their sweethearts.
The bracelet measures 18cm.
All Vonk Jewellery is presented in a gift box and pouch with luxe ribbon. If you would like a gift message included please message me at checkout.
