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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 from the first sketch. 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.
Book a consultationPavé apple pendant
Stone: round brilliant diamonds pavé set over the whole body, with round emeralds in the leaf. Metal: 18ct white gold, the stalk and leaf in yellow gold. Setting: pavé throughout, with a diamond-set bail. Hallmarked at the London Assay Office. The stalk and leaf are the only yellow on the piece, so the eye goes to the leaf first.
Pie-cut diamond cross
Stone: four pie-cut diamonds. Metal: platinum. Setting: full bezels, open at the back, on a fine cable chain. Hallmarked at the London Assay Office. There is no centre stone. The four points meet in the middle and make the cross by themselves.
Spiral pendant with coloured stones
Stone: a marquise diamond at the centre, pavé diamonds along the spirals, and four coloured stones in red, blue, violet and blue-green. Metal: white gold. Setting: open scrollwork, each coloured stone in its own bezel. Hallmarked at the London Assay Office. Every colour sits on its own curl of the spiral, so no two of them touch.
Green tourmaline pendant and earrings
Stone: a pear-cut green tourmaline beneath a single round diamond, with matching pear-cut tourmaline studs. Metal: platinum. Setting: three claws on each pear, and a diamond-set split bail. Hallmarked at the London Assay Office. The pendant and the studs were cut to match, so the three greens read as one.
Blue topaz in a diamond frame
Stone: emerald-cut blue topaz. Metal: 18ct white gold. Setting: double claws at the corners inside a diamond frame, with a diamond-set loop bail. Hallmarked at the London Assay Office. The frame stands away from the stone at the sides, so light reaches the topaz from behind as well as through the top.
Pear diamond with a double halo
Stone: a pear-cut diamond inside two halos of round brilliants. Metal: platinum. Setting: full bezel on the pear, the halos grain set, the bail pavé set. Hallmarked at the London Assay Office. The bail is a loop rather than a plain ring, so the pendant hangs from a line of diamonds.
Engraved gold heart
Stone: none. Metal: 18ct yellow gold. Setting: a solid polished heart, laser engraved, on a plain bail. Hallmarked at the London Assay Office. Engraving on a piece this plain has nowhere to hide, so the letters have to sit true to the curve of the heart.
Monogram pendant
Stone: none. Metal: 18ct yellow gold. Setting: two initials cut as one openwork monogram inside an oval frame. Hallmarked at the London Assay Office. The letters touch the frame at the top and bottom only, so the monogram reads as a piece of type hanging in the oval.

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.
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.
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 that honour the original stone while suiting modern wear.
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).
Yes: pendant backs are a natural canvas for engraving. 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.
