How to size your wrist

Either measure the internal diameter of a bangle which you wear and is comfortable or, alternatively, tuck your thumb into your palm and wrap a measuring tape around your knuckles. This will give you the circumference measurement you need to size your wrist.

Necklace size guide

16" (Choker length)

Let's start with the choker length necklace - it's like a whisper of elegance around your neck, adding a touch of sophistication without being too flashy. All my necklaces are available in this length.

18" (Princess length)

Gracefully drapes just below the collarbone, offering a timeless and refined look that's suitable for any occasion. All my necklaces are available in this length.

20" (Matinee length)

The matinee length typically falls just above the bustline and is often used for more formal occasions or when you want to make a statement with your necklace. It's great for pairing with higher necklines. All my necklaces are available in this length.

30" (Opera length)

Long, luxurious, and oh-so glamorous. It makes a statement without saying a word, ideal for dark tops or dresses. Take a look at my Holkham Acorn necklace or my Star Anise necklace for this length.

Gathered Pearl Necklace

The Gathered Pearls Necklace combines freshwater pearls in a mixture of sizes, shapes and colours, from creamy whites and soft pinks to silvery tones and beautiful deep plum. Rather than choosing perfectly matched pearls, I love the individuality of each one and the way they tumble together beneath the silver circle.

The hoop is handmade from sterling silver and gently hammered by hand, giving the necklace texture and a little extra sparkle as it catches the light. The cluster of pearls hangs freely below, creating movement and giving this necklace a heavier feel when worn.

Pearls have always appealed to my love of vintage jewellery. They remind me of old jewellery boxes, dressing tables and a time when putting on your pearls was simply part of getting dressed. But the irregular freshwater pearls and contemporary hammered silver make this a much more relaxed way to wear them.

This is actually a design from the very early days of Claire Howard Jewellery which I have recently brought back. Looking at it again, I couldn't quite remember why I ever stopped making it.

Wear it with a simple dress, or let it sit over a favourite jumper when the colder days arrive. It’s a necklace with enough presence to be noticed, while still being wonderfully easy to wear.

Packaging

Your jewellery is carefully packaged in a white gift box, embossed with my gold flower logo and tied with ribbon. Inside, you’ll find a care card and polishing cloth to keep it looking its best, and a thank you card – because every order is special.

Optional extras:

  • Add your own gift message if it’s heading straight to someone special.
  • free gift bag or upgrade to a luxury floral gift bag for that extra special touch.

Details

  • Handmade from sterling silver
  • A mixture of freshwater pearls in different colours, shapes and sizes
  • Handmade hammered silver hoop measuring approx 2cms
  • Each necklace will vary slightly because every freshwater pearl is unique
  • Handmade by me in my Fakenham shop in Norfolk

  • Care

    Each piece of my jewellery is handmade in sterling or fine silver, filled gold, or 9ct gold, with some Keum Boo details or gemstones.

    To keep your jewellery looking its best:

    • Avoid contact with perfume, lotion, and chemicals.
    • Remove before bathing, swimming, or exercising.
    • Clean gently with warm, soapy water and a soft cloth.
    • Store in a dry place, ideally in its box or pouch.
    • Silver may naturally tarnish over time—use a polishing cloth to restore its shine.
