The ear wires are sterling silver, however, the sixpence by this time had no silver content whatsoever, they are cupronickel.Pale blue preciosa crystals. Approximately 3cm drop.\r\n\r\nThe reverse design which I use as the front image, features 4 interlinked plants: rose, thistle, shamrock and leek, each with a leaf from the same stem. These represent the 4 countries of the United Kingdom - England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales respectively. I have used the  Elizabeth II head as the reverse.\r\n\r\nDespatched in tissue paper in an organza bag via the Royal Mail Standard service in the UK. \r\n\r\nUpcycled in Lancashire  \r\n\r\nFYI - Up to 1920, the sixpence was silver. 1920-1946 was 50% silver, 40% copper, 5% nickel 5% zinc. After 1947 they were cupronickel, no silver.  Sixpences continued to be legal tender for a while after the currency became decimal in 1971, with a value of 2.5 new pence, until they were demonetised in 1980.","brand":"Jewellery By Silvana","product_id":8454338,"availability":"in stock","quantity":1,"product_expiration":"2026-06-29T09:17:54+00:00","images":["https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-cf4e4344-4909-4a5f-804b-5ea73b4c4efb-upcycled-sixpences-6d-coin-earrings-with-turquoise-bicone-crystals-jewellery-by-silvana/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-5bf94408-3e18-4307-8ed3-11b82d0807c7-upcycled-sixpences-6d-coin-earrings-with-turquoise-bicone-crystals-jewellery-by-silvana/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-fac78325-f56e-4674-96a0-3140b0579e21-upcycled-sixpences-6d-coin-earrings-with-turquoise-bicone-crystals-jewellery-by-silvana/public","https://imagedelivery.net/0ObHXyjKhN5YJrtuYFSvjQ/i-5f0f74f9-d798-4364-baec-c6390c6559bb-upcycled-sixpences-6d-coin-earrings-with-turquoise-bicone-crystals-jewellery-by-silvana/public"]}
