Jewellery has always been more than just an accessory—it carries meaning, tradition, and sentiment. At Prenoa, we embrace this philosophy by creating pieces that blend history with contemporary style. One of our most beloved designs, the Double Sixpence Necklace, is a stunning tribute to luck, prosperity, and connection.
The Meaning Behind the Sixpence Necklace
For centuries, the sixpence coin has been associated with good fortune. In British tradition, a sixpence was often gifted to brides on their wedding day to symbolise luck and prosperity in marriage. It has also been used as a charm for wealth, protection, and positive energy. By pairing two sixpence coins, our necklace doubles the sentiment, making it an even more powerful token of luck, unity, and love.

A Connection to the Past with a Modern Appeal
Coin jewellery has been worn for centuries, with people across different cultures believing in the protective and prosperous qualities of coins. From ancient travellers carrying coins for safe journeys to modern fashionistas embracing the beauty of vintage-inspired jewellery, the Double Sixpence Necklace connects the past with the present.
You may have seen silver sixpences of threepences layered alongside one another on Victorian tie pins or as a brooch. This style of jewellery, with several coins together in one piece, was popularised during the reign of Queen Victoria. Some resembled medals and some coins even had stones inset in them or were filed on one size and then engraved. Some examples of these love tokens can still be found online today on online marketplaces and command a good price.
With recent appreciation for sustainable fashion and meaningful accessories, coin necklaces have surged in popularity. The unique blend of history, elegance, and symbolism makes them a sought-after choice for those looking to add a touch of vintage charm and significance to their collection.
