1996 Irish 20p Coin Necklace

1996 Irish 20p Coin Necklace: For the woman who knows that nostalgia is best served with pearls.

In 1996, a 20p could get you a decent amount of sweets or a very short phone call from a booth that smelled suspiciously of damp. Now, it’s the centrepiece of a necklace that suggests you have a summer home in Italy and a very complicated past.

I’ve paired this genuine 20p coin with repurposed freshwater pearls—because we’re classy now, aren't we?—and hematite beads for a bit of weight and wisdom. It’s all finished on a 55cm gold-plated rope chain that’s shiny enough to distract from any exhaustion-induced eye bags.

• The Collection: Another star player in the Lucky Punt Collection.

• The Coin: A genuine Irish 20p from 1996 featuring the classic Irish hunter horse.

• Materials: Repurposed freshwater pearls for that "old money" vibe and metallic hematite for a modern edge.

• The Chain: A 55cm gold-plated rope chain with a secure toggle clasp—easy to put on even when you're late for everything.

• The Look: "I remember the 90s, but I’ve successfully transitioned into a person who drinks expensive tea".
