Netherlands declared their independence from Spanish domination in 1581 and became the republic of the United Netherlands. During the period 1600-1795, coins were struck by the various cities and provinces. The 6 Stuiver was affectionately known as a “Ship Shilling” by the sailors of the day, as they are the same size and about the same value as the British shilling of the day.
In the following century, the "Golden Age" of Dutch history, the Netherlands became a great sea and colonial power for the Arts and a refruge for the persecuted.

Awesome store and staff! I have been buying jewelry from them since 1975. They have a fabulous selection and really great prices. Their sealife selection is the best around. I love to peek into their Estate cases when I visit. I always find a treasure to bring home.

The Cedar Chest carries very beautiful, unique jewelry of the highest quality. I have made many purchases over the years, both in the store and online, and I've always been more than happy with the pieces I've chosen. My most recent purchase was online. I trust them completely. I ordered a medium size rose-gold periwinkle earring and pendant set with a diamond in the centers. They are so beautiful. I want to wear them always! Shelley handled my order with care. She was wonderful. Thanks again, Shelley!
