January often brings me clarity — a sense of returning to what matters and letting the unnecessary fall away. The Core Collection has been thus created in that spirit: a permanent edit of Prenoa’s most enduring designs, chosen not for season or trend, but for meaning, balance and longevity.

These are the pieces that have remained constant bestsellers over time. Jewellery made using genuine historic coins, thoughtfully repurposed and finished in precious metals, designed to live easily in everyday life and to be kept always.


What Makes the Core Collection Different

Unlike milestone or date-led jewellery, the Core Collection centres on symbolism rather than circumstance. Each design can be worn, gifted or chosen for oneself at any point in the year — quietly meaningful without needing explanation.

The collection includes a considered range of necklaces, bracelets, bangles and earrings made from historic coins that once circulated as real currency. Their character — softened edges, gentle wear, subtle patina — is not manufactured but inherited. Each piece begins with a story already lived.


Designed for Everyday Wear

Jewellery in the Core Collection is intentionally easy to wear. Pieces sit comfortably with both casual and more formal clothing, layer well with existing jewellery, and carry presence without excess weight or ornament.

This balance is deliberate. The aim is not to create statement pieces that demand attention, but companions that become part of daily life — reaching for them without thought because they feel natural to wear.

Meaning Without Occasion

Many pieces of jewellery are tied to a specific moment: a birthday, anniversary, or celebration. While those occasions matter, not every meaningful choice needs a date attached to it.

The Core Collection offers an alternative — jewellery chosen for symbolism, affection, or personal significance rather than urgency. It may be given as a gesture of care, selected as a personal keepsake, or simply chosen because it resonates.


Genuine Historic Coins, Repurposed

Every piece begins with an authentic coin. These small objects once passed through countless hands, travelled through time, and bore witness to everyday life long before becoming jewellery.

Careful repurposing preserves their character while allowing them to be worn again in a new form. Variations in tone, wear and surface are part of their history, not imperfections.

This approach also reflects a broader philosophy: creating something lasting from what already exists, rather than producing something disposable.

Jewellery Intended to Be Kept

Coins are durable by nature. Combined with precious metals and careful construction, they form jewellery designed to age gracefully. Over time, a piece may gather its own marks of wear, becoming more personal rather than less valuable. Their value continues on, in those who we pass them on to.

In this way, the Core Collection aligns with a quieter idea of luxury — one based on longevity, familiarity and emotional durability rather than novelty.


A Permanent Edit of Prenoa

The Core Collection will remain available year-round. Designs may evolve gradually, but the intention is stability rather than seasonal turnover. For returning customers, this means familiar pieces remain accessible; for new visitors, it offers a clear starting point.

It represents the foundation of Prenoa: historic coin jewellery rooted in meaning, designed to endure beyond trend, season or moment. By building on the foundations of how Prenoa first began and strengthening that grounding the more we grow, I fully intend that this company will create an every-lasting place for purpose, good and bonding relationships through coins for many years to come.
