Antique 1891 Threepence And Pearl Necklace

Silver 1891 British threepence and pink freshwater pearl on a heavily gold plated bead chain. A beautiful and unique necklace. 

I love old coins especially antique silver ones. They are often smooth after many years of exchanging hands and have a real feel of history to them. 

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 threepence and pearl drop measures 2.5cm and the chain is adjustable and measures 40, 42 or 45cm.

This unique piece of jewellery may have signs of wear due to its history. It is beautifully imperfect and should be treated with love and care. This coin is in great antique condition. All Vonk Jewellery pearls are handpicked and may have imperfections which adds to their beauty and uniqueness.
