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.

Steadfast, Sentimental, and Full of Meaning.

Some symbols never lose their power—especially when cast in gold.

This 9ct gold necklace is a recreation of a vintage anchor button, first found in a beloved button box and now transformed into a lasting piece of jewellery. It’s small but significant—cast by hand using traditional methods in my Norfolk shop, then hallmarked at the Birmingham Assay Office.

The anchor has long stood for strength, hope, and stability. In gold, those values take on a new warmth—more than a motif, it becomes a keepsake. Something to reach for in times of change, or wear simply because it feels quietly right.

Meaning & Gifting
Anchors symbolise connection, constancy, and calm in uncertainty. Whether marking a big milestone, honouring a steady presence, or just wearing something with soul—this necklace is a beautiful choice. Especially meaningful for those who love stories, the sea, or thoughtful design.

A Little Whimsy
Gold holds its shape—and its meaning. This tiny anchor carries with it the weight of memory and the lightness of calm seas ahead.

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

  • Material: Solid 9ct yellow gold
  • Pendant Size: Approx. 1.5cm
  • Chain: 9ct gold curb chain – choose your preferred length (choker, princess or matinee)
  • Hallmarked: Yes – with my maker’s mark, the Birmingham Assay Office anchor, gold standard stamp, and year letter

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.

Shipping

Every order is carefully packed and sent with Royal Mail — First Class Signed For under £30, and Special Delivery for anything over. Local? You’re welcome to collect your jewellery from my Fakenham shop.
