60th Birthday bird coin necklace – handmade and recycled 1966 Half Penny jewellery

Inspired by our friendly little visitors, sitting in branches all around us. I decided that the sketch would really come to life if I carefully hand cut the design out of a wonderful ship 1966 half penny coin.

Firstly, I draw the design freehand drawn onto the coin. Then I drill several holes and cut the sections delicately away. I file, smooth and finally polish the edges. The end result is a lovely, original, recycled pendant with a captivating history. Each one of the coin pendants I create is different, unusual and unique.

Handcrafted and recycled in Cambridge, UK.

Size : Approx 25 mm diameter
