Pendants and Necklaces Close to the Heart
A pendant or necklace is the most personal of all fine jewellery. Worn against the skin and close to the heart, these pieces are chosen for meaning as much as beauty.

Why Antique Pendants & Necklaces?
Made to be worn next to the skin
Antique and vintage pendants were made at a time when jewellery was deeply personal, given to mark occasions, worn as tokens of love or memory, and passed down through generations. That intention is still present in the pieces themselves.
Each necklace and pendant in our collection is chosen for the quality of its materials and the honesty of its making. Fine jewellery pieces that feel significant because they are.
“A pendant sits closest to the heart. It ought to have been chosen with care.”
A guide to chain lengths
Chain length changes everything about how a piece is worn. Here is a simple guide to help you choose.
16”
At the Collarbone
Sits just at or above the collarbone. Elegant with an open neckline. Ideal for smaller pendants and lockets worn high.
18”
Below the Collarbone
The most versatile length. Sits just below the collarbone and works with virtually any neckline and pendant style.
20”
Towards the Décolletage
A slightly longer drop that suits larger pendants and more substantial pieces. Works beautifully with V-necks and open collars.
24”+
Statement Length
Long chains and opera-length necklaces can be worn single or doubled. Particularly suited to the layered look.
