Thoughtful Handmade Necklaces and Pendants: Gifts Inspired By Nature For All Budgets

Thoughtful Handmade Necklaces and Pendants: Gifts Inspired By Nature For All Budgets

Jewellery can be a wonderful gift, especially for special birthdays and milestone occasions. But without careful consideration, you risk picking something too generic or impersonal.

Being the thoughtful, considerate person you are, I know you want to find the perfect present that feels personal to your loved one when shopping for jewellery gifts. 

A beautiful necklace can be cherished for decades - it's all about tuning into their taste, personality, and values.

Learn more about our necklace and pendant collection, and let's find you the perfect piece for your special someone.

Inspired by nature, crafted by hand

All of our necklaces are inspired by the natural world and crafted by hand in our workshop, which is in Birmingham's historic Jewellery Quarter.

However, this is not nature-inspired jewellery as you might know it. 

It's understated, elegant, and contemporary - designed for the modern jewellery lover who appreciates quality, meaning, and subtlety.

Our work draws on delicate natural elements like seed heads, cherry blossom branches about to spring into life, and organically eroded textures, interpreted with a clean, modern aesthetic.

Finished by hand using traditional techniques like acid etching, engraving, and oxidising, our necklace collection has a contemporary yet timeless charm, made to be worn every day and cherished forever.

Why choose a handmade necklace gift from our collection?

  • Made and hallmarked in the UK using quality materials and traditional techniques

  • Crafted by hand, not mass-produced

  • Designed to feel timeless and personal, not trend-led or faddy

  • Perfect to mark a major milestone or big celebration (or just because)

  • Support a small, female-led business 

  • Make a statement - our pieces are unique and distinctive

  • Match with existing items from our collection, like rings, bracelets, or earrings. 

Many of our customers return to us whenever they're looking for a meaningful gift for a loved one or a special piece for themselves, and we love getting to know you and your story. 

Handpicked pieces to inspire your search

With so much choice out there, I know it can be tricky to narrow it down when gift shopping for a loved one. To give you a helping hand, I've selected some of my favourite necklaces which make the ideal gift.

1. Patterned Gold Leaf Necklace

One of our more obviously nature-inspired pieces is this gorgeous gold leaf pendant necklace, crafted from 9ct gold.

Shaped like a curved leaf and finished with a soft, eroded texture, it feels like it was formed organically by time and nature. 

The leaf moves freely on a gold snake chain and fastens with a patterned T-bar clasp for a subtle, distinctive finish. 

At £870, this is an investment piece to be cherished for decades and passed down with love.

2. Etched Silver and Gold Polo Pendant Necklace

etched silver gold polo pendant necklace

One of our signature designs, this contemporary sterling silver polo pendant is a beautiful example of subtle detail and craftsmanship. 

The delicate pattern is first hand-drawn, then etched into the metal using a specialist acid etching technique. A layer of rich gold plating and a satin-textured finish complete the piece, giving it a gentle, light-catching glow.

In the 18mm size version shown here, which retails at £168, the pendant moves freely on a refined silver trace chain (available in two sizes).

This style also comes in a smaller 15mm silver etched pendant (£148), a larger 26mm silver etched pendant, as well as an etched silver polo pendant with a hidden threaded chain (£254).

3. Floral Silhouette Silver Necklace

For fans of modern silver jewellery who love the little details, this double-sided floral pendant has hand-engraved branch motifs inspired by spring blossoms about to bloom.

Each side is subtly different, and it's created using a technique known as oxidising to add contrast and depth.

Available with an understated silver snake chain (£210) or open style, navette chain (£243) in various chain lengths, it's pictured here with the matching floral silver ring.
