Necklaces and Pendants

Necklaces and pendants to treasure

A necklace is often the piece you reach for without thinking – the one that sits comfortably against your skin, finishes an outfit, and becomes part of your identity.

At Kate Smith Jewellery, our necklaces are designed to do exactly that.

Handmade in our Birmingham workshop, each piece balances thoughtful design with everyday wearability. Whether you’re layering fine chains, choosing a meaningful pendant, or investing in something a little more sculptural, these are necklaces made to be lived in, not saved for special occasions.

A good necklace is the finishing touch to your outfit.

Designed to sit comfortably against the skin, our necklaces are handmade in precious metals and created for real life. Whether you prefer fine, barely-there chains or something with a little more presence, each piece is crafted to feel effortless, personal, and lasting.

Find the perfect pendant necklace 

Pendants bring meaning to a necklace, adding a focal point that tells a story or reflects your style.

From softly textured forms to more sculptural designs, each pendant is designed to move naturally with the wearer and catch the light in subtle ways. Worn alone or layered, they offer a simple way to create something individual – a piece that feels considered, but never overdone.

Gorgeous for gifting 

Necklaces make thoughtful gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, and milestones, but they’re just as powerful when chosen for yourself.

Whether you’re marking a new chapter, celebrating something quietly, or simply updating your jewellery collection, there’s a piece here that will feel right.

If you’re looking for something more personal, we also offer a bespoke and remodelling service, transforming existing jewellery into something new and wearable.

Sterling silver, yellow gold & white gold 

At Kate Smith Jewellery, we work primarily in solid silver and gold, creating pieces that are made to last.

Unlike fast fashion jewellery, these materials are chosen for their durability and timeless appeal. They can be worn daily, handled, lived in – and still look beautiful years down the line.

Gold necklaces, in particular, are naturally waterproof and ideal for those who want something low-maintenance but luxurious. Silver offers a softer, understated finish that develops character over time.

Dazzling diamonds and other gemstones 

Many of our necklaces feature carefully selected diamonds and coloured gemstones, chosen for their natural beauty and understated elegance.

From the quiet sparkle of diamonds to the soft, sea-toned hues of aquamarine and the gorgeous green of peridot, each gemstone is used to enhance the design rather than overpower it.

Set into handcrafted pieces, these stones add light, colour, and meaning (especially when used as birthstone jewellery), creating necklaces that feel both refined and personal, designed to be worn and treasured every day.
