Recycled silver threepence
These lovely little lucky personalised threepence pentacles are a great gift for yourself or anyone you know who is special Each one is handcrafted from a genuine sterling silver pre 1919 English silver threepence. Each and every one of these is handmade in Cambridge.
Sterling silver was the choice material of all English Threepence’s, Sixpence’s, Shilling’s, Florins, Half-Crowns and Crown coins before 1919. This presents a great opportunity to create precious metal recycled jewellery.
The vast majority of these coins have suffered substantial wear over their years of circulation. It is these coins which are not valued by most coin collectors. In most cases these coins are acquired to be melted down for the basic silver value. This disappointing truth means that all of the history, detailsand interest of the coin are lost forever. Recycling the coins allows these original details to survive and become conversation. Obviously it is important for the piece of jewellery to be desirable, wearable and beautiful!
Good luck and best wishes. Handcrafted and recycled in Cambridge, UK.
Size : Approx 16 mm diameter

Lovely Silver Pentacles
This is such a great idea: making silver jewellry pentacles out of old silver threepenny bits. Such a lovely idea that I bought two, as presents. I haven’t actually given them to the intended recipients yet as the appropriate date hasn’t yet arrived, but I’d be amazed if the two people concerned don’t really love them.

Love and adore
Being wiccan I am always on the look out for unique pentacles, so was hugely excited when I found this piece. A truly wonderful pentacle, that has joined my other pieces from you. Love it, thank you.

These little pentagrams are gorgeous. This is my second purchase from Les and I couldn’t be happier. What an amazing artistic talent. Each item is a beautifully hand made and individually designed piece of wearable art.
