Bespoke Pendants

We design bespoke pendants and necklaces to order, from solitaire and halo pendants to gemstone pieces and lockets. Each piece is designed in CAD and finished at our bench in The Goldsmiths' Centre, Hatton Garden, with casting and stone setting carried out by trusted specialist workshops. You receive a full, itemised quote before any work begins, and you can start with a consultation at the studio, by phone or on WhatsApp.

A pendant sits close, worn daily and read at a glance, so the detail matters. Our founder has designed and made pendants and necklaces in London since 1999, every piece drawn in-house and finished on our own bench. We see clients by appointment at our private studio in Hatton Garden, then build the piece around the stone and the wearer.

Styles we make

We work across the full range, from a single stone on a fine chain to designs that carry colour or memory. A solitaire diamond pendant keeps the focus on one well-chosen stone. A halo design rings the centre with smaller diamonds for added presence. Gemstone pendants bring in sapphire, emerald, ruby or a birthstone, while lockets and initial or monogram designs hold something more personal.

  • Solitaire diamond pendants, with the stone and setting chosen to suit
  • Halo pendants that frame a centre stone in smaller diamonds
  • Gemstone and birthstone pendants in your choice of colour
  • Lockets and initial or monogram designs

Chain, bail and setting

The fittings shape how a pendant hangs and how it reads. We help you choose the chain type, from a fine cable or trace to a heavier curb or a box chain, and the length, whether you want the pendant to sit at the collarbone, lower on the chest, or somewhere you can layer it with other pieces. The bail is the loop that joins pendant to chain, and we size it to the chain so the line stays clean. The setting, claw, rubover or bezel, is chosen for the stone and for how the piece will be worn.

Diamonds, gemstones and metal

We offer both natural and laboratory-grown diamonds, with GIA or IGI certification available on centre stones so you can compare like for like. We are glad to talk you through the 4Cs and the difference between lab-grown and natural diamonds before you decide. Pendants are made in platinum or 18ct gold, in white, yellow or rose, and you can match or contrast the metal with the chain.

Heirloom stones and milestone gifts

Resetting an inherited stone into a new pendant is one of our more meaningful commissions. A diamond from a ring you no longer wear, or a gemstone passed down through the family, can be reworked into a design that suits how you live now, keeping the stone and its history while giving it a new form. Pendants also make a lasting gift for a birthday, anniversary or christening.

Good to know

How long does a bespoke pendant take?

Timelines depend on the design and on sourcing the stone, so we give a clear estimate once we have agreed the piece at your consultation. Simpler designs take less time than those with a centre stone to source and match.

How much does a bespoke pendant cost?

Pricing depends on the piece, since the stone, the metal, the chain and the complexity of the design all play a part. We quote per commission after a consultation, so the figure reflects exactly what you have chosen rather than a generic starting price.

To start a pendant, book a consultation at our Hatton Garden studio and we will design it with you in CAD, from the first conversation. You can also read more about how we approach bespoke jewellery.

Every pendant on this page was made for a client. We do not hold pendants in stock, so nothing here is sold as it stands. Tell us what you have in mind and yours is designed and made the same way.

Common questions

What is the difference between a pendant and a necklace?

A pendant is the decorative piece that hangs from a chain: a solitaire diamond, a gemstone cluster, a locket or a custom-designed charm. A necklace can refer to any neckwear, including rivière (all-diamond), tennis-style, collar and beaded designs. We make both, from a simple solitaire pendant to elaborate rivière necklaces with diamonds throughout.

What chain lengths do you recommend?

Standard chain lengths: 16 inches (choker, sits at the collarbone), 18 inches (princess, most popular for pendants), 20 inches (matinee), 22-24 inches (opera, sits over clothing) and 30+ inches (rope or Y-drop). For pendants we most commonly recommend 18 inches; for chunkier statement pieces 20 inches gives better drape.

Can I reset an inherited stone as a pendant?

Yes: resetting is one of our most popular services. Bring in (or post insured) the existing piece and we design a new pendant around the stone. We often reset engagement rings from previous marriages, Victorian brooches or loose stones from estate jewellery into contemporary pendants designed around the original stone.

How much do bespoke pendants cost?

Solitaire diamond pendants start from around £1,000 in 18ct gold with a 0.25ct centre stone. Halo-style pendants from £1,800. Three-stone and cluster designs from £2,500. Rivière necklaces (full-line diamond) start from £8,000 and scale with total carat. Chains from £150 (18ct gold, fine trace) to £1,200 (substantial rope, box or curb).

Can I engrave a pendant?

Yes: pendant backs take engraving well. We offer both laser engraving (text, dates, coordinates, fingerprints) and hand engraving (monograms, decorative motifs, heraldic devices). Lockets can be hand-engraved on the outer case with family initials or dates.
