Recycled silver coins
This beautiful and whimsical necklace not only looks and feels lovely but is also filled with both meaning and humour. A true life amulet. Each cloud is lovingly handmade and up cycled from a silver shilling, 100 year old very worn and uncollectible coins.
The dark, moody thunder and lightning cloud represents both the huge, overwhelming power and force of nature and the challenges we encounter through out colourful lives. For me this cloud also represents the moods and thoughts i have occasionally! The sun, cut and carved from an old ‘thrupney-bit’ coin is carefully nestled behind another sterling silver shilling cloud, this one fluffy in nature, without rain or thunder. The third silver shilling cloud is releasing its burden and completing the cycle.
Although i have imbued the necklace with meaning this essence sits comfortably with the humour and fun had whilst wearing it 🙂 Handcrafted and recycled in Cambridge.
Size : Longest stem approx 55 mm

Beyond Stunning
Stunning is not a big enough word for just how beautiful this necklace is. I can say, hand on heart, that the picture doesn’t do it justice. It is just… amazing. I love it. It’s beautiful, wearable, art, and it’s officially my favourite piece of jewellery I own. Thank you, so so so much!
