Ship haypenny - Half penny coin...
This coin, the old English half penny was issued with a lovely tall
ship as the design. When this coin is hand pierced, filed and polished,
the results are fabulous.
A great deal of time, absolute care and attention
are required to create this 'cut' coin pendant. As you can imagine one
tiny unwanted movement of the saw can easily (and does!) destroy a rigging
line or mast on the ship, rendering all of the work up to that point
completely useless.
Another fantastic coin pendant lovingly handmade in Cambridge.
£48.
