coin jewellery – Recycled sterling silver half crown coins

This fantastic new Hairy Growler original kuff / bracelet is a completely new idea and perfectly represents what we all like in jewellery; Unique, original, ethical, recycled and handmade with love. It is meticulously handcrafted from three large 100 year old recycled solid silver half crown coins. Each one of these coins is obtained due to them not being of collectible quality. This is a real shame as they represent such a fasinating history. Rather than let them simply be ‘melted down’ to release the base value of the precious metal, i buy as many as i can to transform into lovely, wearable jewellery! I make sure each section retains all of the coin details, its historical origins which provide a wonderful connection to its previous life and history.

The inside of the kuff is also very special, the details of which will remain a secret for its wearer! You are welcome to suggest some initials for only the wearer to see…. Handcrafted & Recycled in Cambridge, UK Sizes : approx 9 mm wide – absolutely perfect to put on and never take off!

Hairy Growler Jewellery crafted from recycled silver coins holds rich symbolic meaning, representing history, memory, sustainability, and transformation. The silver itself symbolizes the moon, intuition, and spiritual growth, while the transformation from a utilitarian coin into a personal, artistic piece signifies new beginnings, resilience, and the cyclical nature of life and economy. The specific history of the coin, such as those from wartime, also adds layers of meaning related to patriotism, hope, or personal journeys.

Each coin carries the weight of its past, embodying the transactions, events, and people it has encountered. Recycled coin jewelry, therefore, serves as a tangible link to history and memory. The metal, a once common currency, is transformed into a unique, artistic item, symbolizing the inherent value and potential within all things and the transformative power of creative artistry.

Coins from specific historical periods, like those used by our soldiers during WWI & WWII, can symbolize patriotism, liberation, and remembrance of significant events.

Silver is often associated with the moon, representing intuition, receptivity, and emotional connection. It symbolizes clarity, purity, and spiritual illumination, reflecting inner wisdom and contemplation.In some spiritual traditions, silver is linked to compassion, empathy, and healing.

The act of recycling materials for jewelry represents a commitment to sustainability and participation in a circular economy, where resources are reused and given new life. The process of transforming an old coin into something new embodies themes of new beginnings, the start of new cycles, and hope.

Just as a coin endures the passage of time and societal change, its transformation into jewelry can symbolize resilience and adaptability in the face of life’s challenges.
