What’s the difference between a chain and a pendant necklace?
A chain is a standalone neck piece - the necklace is the statement. A pendant necklace pairs a chain with a decorative focal piece. Browse our chains and pendants separately if you know which direction you’re heading.
What length necklace should I buy?
Chain length is listed in cm on every product page. Shorter chains (around 45cm) sit at the collarbone; longer ones (50–60cm) sit mid-chest and layer well over the top of a shorter piece. See our Size Guide for a visual guide.
How do I layer necklaces without them tangling?
Keep lengths at least 3–4cm apart so each piece sits at a different level. A light 1.5mm curb chain paired with a pendant necklace that sits slightly lower is the easiest starting stack.
What’s the difference between your silver and gold necklaces?
Every “silver” necklace is 925 sterling silver. Every “gold” necklace is the same sterling silver base with 14ct gold plating, so both give you the same weight and design - just a different finish. Both are hallmarked.
Does sterling silver tarnish?
Our silver necklaces are rhodium-plated to slow tarnishing, but sterling silver can still dull naturally over time. Store it somewhere dry and wipe it with a soft cloth after wear. Full instructions are in our Care Guide.
Are your necklaces hallmarked?
Yes. Every piece carries the full UK hallmark - sponsor’s mark, fineness mark, millesimal fineness mark, Assay Office mark and year mark. See our Hallmarking guide for what each one means.
What does the St Christopher necklace mean?
St Christopher is the patron saint of travellers - the motif is traditionally worn as a protective talisman. It’s one of our most consistent bestsellers and comes in both silver and gold.
Can I return a necklace if I don’t like it?
Yes, necklaces can be returned within 30 days of receiving your order if they’re unworn and in their original pouch. View Returns to find out more. If you’re buying as a gift and unsure of their style, a Gift Card gives them the choice.
