These elegant earrings breathe new life into a piece of Canadian history. Crafted from authentic 1967 Canadian Dimes, they feature the iconic Mackerel design, a special one-year-only issue created to celebrate Canada’s Centennial (1867–1967).
Designed by renowned Canadian artist Alex Colville, the mackerel was chosen for its streamlined beauty and as a symbol of "continuity"—representing the deep-rooted connection between Canada’s coastal communities and the sea.
