1996 Irish 1p Coin & Connemara Marble Earrings

If you’re going to carry around old Irish currency, you might as well suspend it beneath genuine Connemara marble and gold-plated spirals so everyone knows you mean proper business.

I’ve handcrafted this new pair for the Lucky Punt Collection using genuine, polished 1996 Irish 1p coins—featuring Percy Metcalfe’s iconic Book of Kells ornamental bird on one side and the classic Irish harp on the other.

I’ve paired the rich copper tones of the 1p coins with deep green Connemara marble beads and sweeping gold-plated spiral connectors. Suspended from comfortable 15mm gold-plated hoop earrings, they give you a generous 68mm drop that offers just the right amount of swing, weight, and dramatic flair.

Whether you’re celebrating a 1996 birth year, marking a special 30th birthday, or simply refuse to leave the house without a bit of proper Irish heritage dangling from your ears, these are an absolute joy to wear.
