Luck, minted. Our Lucky Sixpence Coin Necklace recreates Britain’s most storied luck token in solid 925 sterling silver — the rose, thistle, shamrock and leek entwined, dated 1967, the sixpence’s final year. Fortune, made to keep.
Design Inspiration: “Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue — and a silver sixpence in her shoe.” The final line of the rhyme is the one most people forget, and the one that mattered: the sixpence was Britain’s everyday talisman, stirred into puddings, given to sailors, kept for luck long after it could buy anything. The design itself is quietly perfect — rose, thistle, shamrock and leek grown from a single stem, four nations sharing one root. Struck here in sterling silver and dated 1967, the year the Mint let it go, this pendant keeps the tradition in circulation: luck, as ever, is for passing on.
Materials: Hand-crafted from premium 925 sterling silver and rhodium plated, this enhances the overall appearance of the piece by providing a brilliant, white surface that resembles white gold or platinum. This not only contributes to a more luxurious aesthetic but also minimizes tarnishing, as rhodium is highly resistant to corrosion and oxidation. The plating creates a protective barrier, shielding the silver from environmental factors that can cause it to darken over time.

For centuries, no British coin carried more luck than the sixpence — tucked into Christmas puddings, slipped into a bride’s shoe, pressed into the palm of anyone setting out on something new. Our Lucky Sixpence Coin Necklace recreates the classic design in hallmarked 925 sterling silver: the entwined rose, thistle, shamrock and leek of the home nations, beaded border and all, dated 1967 — the final year the sixpence was struck for circulation.
The oxidised finish sets the raised design against a darkened field, giving it the depth and character of a coin that’s lived. On its curb chain it wears easily every day — a piece that reads as heritage rather than novelty, and starts conversations accordingly.
As a gift, it’s hard to better: a wedding token, an exam or new-venture charm, or simply luck for someone who could use a bit kept close. Solid sterling silver and backed by our lifetime warranty, it’s made to be handed on — which is, after all, how sixpences have always worked.
Each vintage coin necklace arrives in signature Illicium London gift packaging, ready to give.
