Description

This pendant is made in 9ct yellow gold mount with 0.17ct diamond setting with 22ct yellow gold 1983 Half Sovereign Coin. Total pendant weight 7.02 grams

Gold proof Half Sovereign dated 1983 in it is original presentation box with a certificate of authenticity enclosed. 1983 gold Sovereigns featured Arnold Machin’s portrait of Her Majesty the Queen to the obverse. Used between 1968 and the mid-1980s, its a youthful draped portrait of Elizabeth II who is shown wearing the Girls of Great Britain and Ireland Tiara.

This is paired with a much older reverse design. The work of Italian artist, Benedetto Pistrucci, it shows England’s patron saint, St George, in the act of slaying a cowering dragon from his position on a rearing horse. The artists initials appear below the dragon in this engraving that was crafted for the first modern Half Sovereigns, issued in 1817 in the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars. Since then, these fractional gold Sovereigns have maintained the same specifications. They are composed of 3.99 grams of 22 carat gold and have a diameter of 19.30 millimetres.

The difference with this edition is its fine proof finish. Intended for collectors, proof coins are struck multiple times with hand-prepared dies for a polished, high-definition appearance. This individual 1983 Half Sovereign makes a great addition to any collection of UK proof coins.

Warranty

This piece is covered by the Stonex Jewellers warranty. If anything is faulty, contact us and we will put it right.

Care
  • Clean with warm water, a drop of mild soap and a soft brush, then rinse and dry with a soft cloth.
  • Take it off for swimming (chlorine and salt water), the gym, gardening and household cleaning.
  • Put perfume, hairspray and lotion on first, and your jewellery on last.
  • Store each piece separately in a soft pouch or box so pieces cannot scratch each other.
  • Stones collect dust and lotion behind them: a soft brush with warm soapy water restores their sparkle. Avoid ultrasonic and steam cleaners unless a jeweller has confirmed they are safe for your stones (many gems, and treated stones, can be damaged). Check that the stones and claws are secure from time to time.
