Starting in the 17th century, the humble British sixpence earned a reputation for good luck with an essential role in wedding ceremonies!
- Traditionally placed in the bride's left shoe by her father, it signaled a wish for wealth and a lasting marriage
- Then, during Queen Victoria's time, there came a sweet nuptial rhyme about traditions to observe: Something old, something new. Something borrowed, something blue. A sixpence in her shoe.
Enjoy this enchanting bridal tradition with a silver-plated sixpence featuring a young and future queen, Elizabeth II, who married her Prince Charming, Philip, on November 20, 1947. Order today!
