Have you noticed this jewellery trend cropping up in your favourite stores? Yep, coins were all the rage on the catwalks for Spring/Summer 2014 and have now, finally, made their way into the shops, so that us mere mortals can jump on the bandwagon (and Holly Willoughby has been a fan of the coin trend for years, with her much coveted duo version.)
Dolce & Gabbana are the forerunners on this one, as they continue to celebrate their love of all things Sicilian but fear not, you don't have to spend an absolute bomb if you don't want to. Whether you're after a jewel-encrusted pendant to add to your collection of luxury items, or something cheap and cheerful to try whilst keeping up with trends, below we've rounded up a selection of coin pendants, earrings and bracelets.
If you want something easy to wear, keep things simple with one eye-catching coin around your neck, or have a little fun with a headpiece (below).
