1986 Irish 5p Coin Necklace

There’s something properly nostalgic about a five-pence piece, isn’t there? It’s the kind of thing you’d find at the bottom of a handbag and feel like you’d struck gold, even if it only bought you a handful of sweets back in the day.

This isn’t just some dusty old coin, though. We’ve taken a genuine 1986 Irish 5p—complete with that iconic, sturdy bull on one side and the regal harp on the other—and turned it into something you’d actually want to wear. It’s weighted with a bit of history but won't drag you down, thanks to the lightweight stainless steel paperclip chain.

To keep it from looking like you just found it in a car park, we’ve flanked the toggle with repurposed freshwater pearls and hematite beads. It’s that perfect mix of "I’ve inherited something posh" and "I’m a bit of a rebel." It’s effortless, it’s Irish, and it’s a total conversation starter for when you’re stuck at a wedding and need to talk about literally anything other than the weather.
