A striking blend of history and artisan detail — this necklace features a vintage 1944 United Kingdom large penny (1.25" / 32 mm diameter) finished in a warm gold tone and used as the focal pendant. Ten faceted/smooth blue chalcedony stones in various shades are individually wire‑wrapped to the cord with 12kt gold wire, creating layered blue highlights around the coin’s edge.
The strand is hand‑knotted on durable nylon cord, accented with tiny brass beads for a subtle antique touch, and finished with gold‑filled findings and a secure gold‑filled lobster claw clasp.
Care:
Avoid prolonged exposure to water, chemicals, and perfumes. Remove before showering or sleeping. Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. For coin care, use a very gentle polish if desired; avoid aggressive cleaning that may damage patina or wire wrapping.
