Norfolk Limpet Shell Necklace

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.

Limpet Shell Necklace – A Story from the Cliffs at Old Hunstanton

Gathered from beneath the striking cliffs of Old Hunstanton beach, this limpet shell has been cast in sterling silver to create a necklace full of texture, memory, and meaning.

As with so many of my seaside pieces, this shell came home in a coat pocket after a beach walk with our dog. I rarely return without a handful of shells—each one a little token of the day. This limpet was one of those finds, chosen for its lovely ridged shape and the way it holds its own kind of quiet strength.

Once cast, the shell is carefully filed, polished, and finished in my Norfolk workshop, bringing out its natural beauty and preserving the memory of where it was found.
