They are by Louise Pringle who makes the most beautiful and unusual
jewellery from vintage watches, charms and other bits and pieces. Check out her website here.
I love anything to do with ships and the sea, so these are
ideal for me. They are made from old
halfpennies with the wonderful image of a sailing ship. Attached are little anchors.
But what makes them even more special is that, purely by
coincidence, one of the halfpennies is from twelve years before I was born
while the other is dated twelve years after I was born!!
How amazing is that - its just as if they were made for me!
Love, Liz

They are gorgeous Liz, what a thoughtful son you've got. The perfect present for you on all counts. Now, what I really want to see is a pic of YOU wearing them!
Are you up for it?

Lovely earrings and the coincidence with the years is great! I bought my dad some cuff links with six pences from the year he was born a couple of years ago. I love the idea of using old coins for accesories :) Elisabeth x
Indeed they were - they're beautiful, you'll be the envy of any company :) Your son must know you very well to get you such a wonderful present!
They really are beautiful earrings and what lovely coins! I especially like the ship on the tails side as well.
She's a very talented jewellery artist. I'm sure they will give you a lot of pleasure for many years to come.
Those are the sweetest earrings, what a lovely gift! x
Cute earrings.
These are so nice!! What a thoughtful son you have ;) I'll have to check out the link. This might be an idea for our discontinued penny! Wendy
I've gone back to edit the post because, although my son is very thoughtful, I did send out a lot of hints about this gift!

They are so sweet. You don't really drop hints, just gently push in the right direction.
They are really lovely, and have found the perfect home. Something's are just meant to be :)
What unusual earrings, they are lovely - how clever of your son to pick up on those hints! xxxx
Your earrings are as beautiful as they are unique. I love the creativity that some people have, the ability to take the ordinary and create something wonderful.
Enjoy!

The earrings are gorgeous. I like the fact that you have both the Queen and her father King George featured. Great gift. Have a great weekend.
