Necklaces
Our complete necklace collection in 925 sterling silver, from £29.95: photo projection pendants with a real picture hidden inside the stone, engraved name and heart lockets, and birthstone necklaces built around mums, grandmas and whole families. Selected designs come in gold or rose-gold plating, and every personalised necklace is made to order.
Narrowing down 247 necklaces
Decide what the pendant should hold before you compare designs. A photo keeps a face close — choose a photo locket if you want the picture visible on opening, or a projection necklace if you want it invisible until light passes through the stone. A name or date suits engraved hearts and bar pendants, while birthstones tell a family story at a glance, with a colour for every birth month.
Why sterling silver is the base metal
Every necklace here is built on 925 sterling silver — durable enough for daily wear, kind to sensitive skin, and the right base for the gold and rose-gold plated finishes offered on selected designs. Engravings are cut by laser rather than stamped, so script names and fine dates stay crisp for years.
Chain length and how the pendant sits
Most pendants in this collection look their best at the collarbone, where the design can actually be seen above a crew neck or in an open collar. Buying for someone else? Borrow a necklace they wear often and measure it flat from end to end — matching a length they already love is far more reliable than guessing from photographs.
The necklaces people gift most
Two-heart birthstone pendants for mums, interlocking Russian ring necklaces engraved with family names, and heart projection pieces for partners lead this collection. If a name necklace is on your shortlist, our guide to the best personalised necklaces for women compares the styles by recipient.
Keeping silver bright
Sterling silver is tarnish-resistant rather than tarnish-proof. Wipe your necklace with a soft cloth after wear, store it clasped in a dry pouch, and put it on after perfume and hairspray rather than before — three small habits that keep both the metal and the engraving looking new.
Frequently asked questions
Should I choose a photo locket or a projection necklace?
A locket opens to show the photo directly, so the picture is part of the design. A projection necklace hides it invisibly inside a stone until light shines through. Choose a locket for visibility, projection for a hidden surprise.
What chain length should I buy for someone else?
Measure a necklace they already wear, laid flat from end to end, and match it. Most pendants in this collection are designed to sit around the collarbone, where the design is easiest to see.
Is sterling silver suitable for sensitive skin?
Yes — 925 sterling silver is one of the most skin-friendly precious metals and suits most wearers with sensitive skin, which is why every necklace in this collection is built on it.
Can a family necklace hold more than one birthstone?
Yes. Family and mum designs, like the interlocking Russian ring necklace, are made for multiple names and birthstones. Each product page lists how many stones and engravings that design can carry.
Will the engraving fade over time?
Engravings are laser-etched rather than surface-stamped, so names and dates stay crisp through everyday wear. Wiping the necklace with a soft cloth after wear keeps both the silver and the lettering sharp.
How long does a personalised necklace take to arrive?
Personalised necklaces are made to order, and typical delivery is 7-12 working days. Orders over £79 qualify for free UK shipping.
