Recycled silver shillings
I have cut these sweet little seahorse baby pendants from Victorian Sterling Silver Shillings. These coins are rare. Unfortunately coin collectors do not particularly value coins with wear marks, etc, which generally means they are scrapped for the high silver content. It is these marks which i am interested in. These marks clearly demonstrate the long, active and wonderous journey the coin has been on. From being freshly minted in the Victorian era to being spent on who knows what over the 100 years of circulation.
There are two wee seahorses to choose from. The first is the bigger of the two, just by a ‘smidge’. To make this one I have flattened the shilling. The smaller one is cut directly from the shilling. On both coins the outline of a baby seahorse is scribed. This basic outline is then embellished with the jewellers saw. Interior details are made with hand engraving tools. After a few simple, traditional processes the old coins are transformed into a lovely pendants with fabulous history and green, ethical, honest credentials.
As always the lovely historical ‘off-cut’ is included for added interest! Handmade and recycled in Cambridge, England.
Size : Approx 25 mm * 18 mm and smaller one 20 mm * 16mm

    The detail is phenomenal on this little seahorse. I love my initials on the back too.

    Anoth beautiful piece

    I love this pendant! After getting a fork bangle last year, I was chuffed to bits that my OH had ordered my birthday from the Hairy Growlers. The detail is stunning! The chain is perfect, with a clasp that is pretty enough to show!

    beautiful

    This is so lovely and I really love the initials on the back and the clasp which is too pretty not to show off. Thanks for another individual piece, it’s fab!

    Fantastic necklace

    Brilliant product made from a Victorian silver shilling which was so expertly made as a one off unique piece of jewellery. Great value for the price and quickly made and dispatched.

    Just what I was looking for

    My wife has been wanting a seahorse necklace for some time and, as our anniversary was coming up, I started to look for one. I really wanted to find something unique though, something that would also have a link to the UK (our adopted home currently). Luckily, I came across your website and knew I had hit pay dirt. She loves the necklace and I think she likes the clasp almost as much as the seahorse itself. Appreciate the quality work and the excellent service as well – great stuff!

    Even better than expected…

    My girlfriend has barely taken the necklace off since giving it to her for Christmas! I think we have a happy customer.

    The piece was even more beautiful than I expected from the pictures, I was blown away. The little star and heart added to the chain was a sign of the extra attention to detail you just don’t get even from pieces 10 times the cost.

    If you’re thinking of making the purchase, do it! Don’t hesitate. You’ll be getting an item of the highest quality at a great price.

    So beautiful

    Thank you so much for making this necklace. It is the prettiest and most unusual necklace I have ever owned. I love my initials on the back too, it feels very personal. Was a birthday present – I couldn’t be happier xx

    Lovely piece

    Beautiful, bought for a present for my Mum who absolutely loves it (and has received many compliments whilst wearing it!)

  11. John

    Excellent

    Very nice product. Brought as a present and my wife loved it.

  12. John

    Excellent

    Lovely product. Small issue is the seahorse often flips over when worn. But otherwise I would recommend and buy again. Top range of products and you get exactly as it says on the tin.
