Antique and Vintage Chunky Coin Charm Bracelet

Here’s a lovely chunky vintage sterling silver curb bracelet with a collection of vintage and antique coin charms.

I originally bought this bracelet for myself because I love chunky charm bracelets but the chain is too big for my wrist and it is a shame to alter its original condition, so I’m letting it go to a new home. It is one of a kind and has 13 antique and vintage coins including:

1891 Queen Victoria threepence

1934 King George V three pence

Egyptian King Farouk I 2 Piastres or 2 Qirsh

Egyptian King Farouk coin

1931 King George V three pence

1956 Roosevelt One Dime

1941 Liberty Half Dollar

1910 King Edward V11 Canadian 5 Cents

1854 Queen Victoria four pence

19-8 King George VI Farthing

1959 Queen Juliana The Netherlands 10 cents

1884 Queen Victoria three pence

1854 Queen Victoria four pence

Available on Etsy here.

Bespoke Beaded Fourth of July Bracelets

Hello my lovelies! I am always excited to work on custom orders and get my creative juices flowing!

Last week my customer asked if I could design one, or possibly two, beaded cuffs for the Fourth of July. And so I got to work and sent her four Americana styled options . She chose one large cuff and two skinny cuffs and you can see the finished results below!

I’m really happy with how they turned out, they’re super bold and super striking!

If you ever have an idea for a custom order, send me a message and I’m happy to look at it with you :-)

Antique trochus shell and bamboo bead necklace


I can’t help it, but I say it every time. I’m obsessed with these shells 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I collect both antique trochus shell necklaces and antique Tasmanian maireener shell necklaces myself. AndI am so very tempted to keep this necklace because I have never seen a trochus shell necklace in this style and can’t find anything at all like it online! Wooden bamboo style beads, glass crystals and the shimmeriest of shells. If she hasn’t sold by the time I’m going on holiday, she’s mine.

Until then, she is available on my Etsy shop.

Antique Victorian Engraved Silver Belcher Chain Bracelet

I bought this beautiful antique bracelet at the Malvern Flea market in January. It had several vintage and antique coins attached to it and my husband spotted it for me because he knows I like chunky bracelets!

When I got it home and began to clean it, I noticed that near the clasp there was an engraving, which on closer inspection was the date 27th Nov 1847 in old script style lettering.

I was very excited to spot this engraving and to discover that the chain was approximately 178 years old. I decided that as much as I loved the coin charm bracelet, this chain was too special to be hidden by coins, and so I bought ANOTHER old silver bracelet and have attached them to that, instead.

I left one soldered coin on the 1847 bracelet, it was near the clasp and I thought a Victorian bracelet deserved one small Victorian coin. It is a sterling silver 1888 four pence featuring Queen Victoria.

This special 1847 antique sterling silver belcher chain bracelet is now listed on my Etsy and looking for a new guardian.

Antique Tasmanian maireener shell necklaces

I have had the absolute joy of repairing many pieces of jewellery (I call it “rescuing it from the bin”), and some of my favourite pieces to fix are antique maireener shell necklaces.

Maireener shells are found only in Tasmania and became very fashionable in the late Victorian period. The shells are teeny tiny, and each one has been cleaned and hand drilled, then threaded onto a necklace.

I have just purchased four more broken maireener shell necklaces and repaired them so that they can be loved and worn once again. There are two pink necklaces (one is a pale pink, the other a deeper pink, and two different sized pale green necklaces. All of them shimmer with the beautiful AB rainbow colours that these shells are highly prized for.

They are available on my Etsy shop now…however the last one sold in less than 48 hours!
