Recycled silver coins
This sweet Hairy Growler ‘teeny weeny bird queeny’ necklace has been carefully and lovingly crafted from sterling silver threepence and sixpence coins circa 1880’s – 1900’s.
The majority of coins circulated over a hundred years ago are pure silver and the ones that are still remaining are in poor condition, from the point of view of a coin collector. The coins are thus only valued for their inherent scrap silver value, which is obviously a real shame. So rather than them being melted i like to flatten the coins and use the history and life of the coin as an extra element of interest and beauty.
The wee branches and leaves are carefully carved from a late 1930′ ‘thrupney-bit’ threepence coin. The Royal bunting is made from silver sixpences, you are welcome to have ‘Love’ bunting or personal initials, numbers, etc.
