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.

A Golden Glimpse of the Past. Crafted in glowing 9ct gold, this necklace is a warm tribute to nature, memory, and gentle strength. Cast from a vintage bee button, the design brings together the charm of a bygone era with the enduring symbolism of the honey bee—hard work, community, and the sweet things in life.

This necklace is part of my Once Upon a Button collection, where old buttons are given new life as precious keepsakes. But in gold, the familiar becomes extraordinary—a luminous reminder of golden afternoons, cherished family stories, and the quiet joy of something lovingly made.

Delicate and meaningful, this piece is ideal for those who love timeless jewellery with a story. Whether marking a special occasion or simply adding a touch of gold to everyday moments, it’s a necklace designed to be treasured.

Design Details
Material: Solid 9ct gold
Pendant Size: Approx. 1.5cm
Chain: 9ct gold trace chain, available in your choice of length
Hallmarked: Yes – fully hallmarked by the Birmingham Assay Office, including date letter and my maker’s mark

Meaning & Gifting
A golden bee carries rich symbolism—resilience, sweetness, and community. This necklace makes a wonderful gift for nature lovers, story keepers, or those beginning a new chapter. It's also perfect for celebrating birthdays, milestones, or golden memories.

A Little Buzz of Nostalgia

More than just a necklace, this is a golden thread connecting past and present—handmade with care, and worn with meaning.

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.

  • 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.
