An old English superstition decreed that a bent coin should always be kept in a pocket or purse to ensure that it's owner would always have a good amount of money.
There were other purposes too. In medieval times, until at least the late 16th century, it was customary for a man to bend a copper coin and give it to his sweetheart as a token of his love and intention of marriage. They were never spent and were always carried by the woman as a demonstration of her loyalty and as a constant reminder to her each time she opened her purse.
In later centuries, especially the 18th and 19th centuries, coins were still used as love tokens. They were hand made; created by the young people to give to their sweethearts, and in some instances were given by soldiers and sailors before they went abroad as a keepsake of them.
Designed to bring old and new together in harmony, to create something unique and special.
From Vintage silver and gold to natural raw crystals and VINTAGE coins.
