Spirit & Heart Oak tree

Spirit & Heart Oak tree

Oak tree necklace – handcrafted and recycled silver Half Crown coin

A lovely symbol of both a true love, connection with nature and family roots. The necklace symbolises this love by demonstrating an eco-conscious lifestyle filled with green ethical choices. I handcraft each sterling silver tree of life individually in Cambridge.

Using traditional jewellers hand tools, I turn a beautiful, unwanted, sterling silver pre-1919 English coin into an intricate, yet simple, tree pendant. Firstly, I flatten the coin to increase the working area. Then I sketch a rough tree design onto the surface and then etch out the design with a jewellers hand saw and hand engraving chisels. It is these processes which reveal the beautiful details.

Discarded and uncollectible by numismatists, these coins are just screaming out to be recycled. I refuse to let them be simply melted down for the silver content. I prefer to invest time into creating a piece which is beautiful and ethical. My aim is to not only create a contemporary, wearable design but also revive some of the original history. I preserve these coins for a future generation.

Each one of these trees is a complete pleasure to make, totally unique and completely individual. Once I have cut the tree away from the coin, I finish it with hand engraved bark and leaves. The Oak tree necklace also comes with a simple mounted star or heart hanging freely at the bale or ‘shepherds crook’ safety catch if silver chain option is chosen. I present the pendant complete with remaining ‘off-cut’ of the ‘donor’ silver coin

Size : Approx. 35 mm * 32 mm

  1. Michelle Jones (verified owner) –

    Absolutely stunning. Intricately made, and finished, it’s a delicate and beautiful representation of the oak. I needed this as a gift for a friend who had been devastated by the loss of the ancient oak in her back garden. It will help remind her whenever she wears it! Each item is packaged very carefully, with little surprises that delight the recipient and comes with a lovely pouch to keep it in too!
