1964 British sixpence coin gold-plated enamel painted necklace

{Gold-plated enamel painted British 1964 sixpence coin pendant with necklace} The British sixpence coin is regarded as a "symbol of luck", which mainly comes from the combination of history, culture and traditional customs. The earliest connection can be traced back to 1551, when the sixpence coin was first minted by King Edward VI of England. At that time, the coin was made of pure silver, and the silver coin itself was considered to have the power to "drive away evil spirits" and "ensure safety". This belief is prevalent throughout Europe. People would put silver coins in cradles, clothes, door frames, etc. to protect babies or new families. In the 18th century, British farmers added a sixpence to Christmas pudding to bring wealth and health in the coming year. In the Victorian era in the late 19th century, the "lucky symbol" of the sixpence became more prominent, and a wedding jingle became popular at that time: "Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a silver sixpence in her shoe." It is advocated that the bride must wear something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, and a silver sixpence in her shoe on her wedding day. Sixpence was retired after the decimalization of the British currency in 1971 and became a souvenir and collector's coin. This 1964 sixpence coin has been gold plated and finely enamelled and remade into a necklace pendant. It not only has a lucky meaning, but is also a good-looking and wearable accessory. This pendant comes with a gold-toned necklace, both of which are brand new and unworn.
