All jewellery listed here that says silver is sterling silver, I do not use silver plate at all. There will be elements of sterling silver in every design (except keyrings), some will be completely so, others may have combinations of copper, brass, bronze, glass, enamel, pewter, resin, upcycled biscuit tins and pre-decimal coins and/or semi-precious stones as well. Many of the designs are one-of-a-kind.

Full description

Pre-decimal sixpence (6d) coins from 1964. The ear wires are sterling silver, however, the sixpence by this time had no silver content whatsoever, they are cupronickel.Black preciosa crystals. Approximately 3cm drop.

The reverse design which I use as the front image, features 4 interlinked plants: rose, thistle, shamrock and leek, each with a leaf from the same stem. These represent the 4 countries of the United Kingdom - England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales respectively. I have used the Elizabeth II head as the reverse.

Despatched in tissue paper in an organza bag via the Royal Mail Standard service in the UK.

Upcycled in Lancashire

FYI - Up to 1920, the sixpence was silver. 1920-1946 was 50% silver, 40% copper, 5% nickel 5% zinc. After 1947 they were cupronickel, no silver. Sixpences continued to be legal tender for a while after the currency became decimal in 1971, with a value of 2.5 new pence, until they were demonetised in 1980.

Designed by Silvana Briers in Ashton-in-Makerfield, Lancashire
