My lovely neighbours, who are in their 80s, gave me a bag of sixpences a few years ago when I started making jewellery. The money I make on these items goes back to them.
The ‘lucky’ sixpence idea comes from servicemen in WW2 sewing them into the lining of their uniforms for luck. Who knows, some of these are old enough to have been the very ones used!
The range of dates is from 1919- 1951, so the design is different according to the year and the monarch. I have good coverage within that range, but not every year, unfortunately. Over time, the silver content lessened and finally sixpences were phased out. They are vintage items, so their wear and tear is commensurate with their age. They have been sympathetically cleaned to keep their charm.

Full description
These are made with genuine circulated sixpences. They have not been re-plated but keep their original charm (and their luck?!). Each set comes in a presentation box and there is a wide range of pre-1947 dates available. If you have a special date in mind, please let me know, and I will do my best to find it for you, otherwise you will be sent a randomly selected (but equally lucky) date! Brilliant for special birthdays, anniversaries, of commemorative events, but also just generally for good luck.
