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 Coastal Memory Cast in Silver

Gathered from one of Norfolk’s beautiful beaches, this whelk shell has been cast in sterling silver to create a necklace full of texture, sentiment, and seaside charm.

Every beach walk with our dog seems to end with my pockets filled with shells, and this whelk is one of those special finds—chosen for its graceful spiral and gentle ridges. It’s part of my treasured collection that reflects peaceful walks, salty air, and the joy of discovering nature’s details.

After casting, each shell is polished and finished with care in my Norfolk workshop, transforming it into a timeless piece of jewellery that can be worn every day as a little reminder of the coast.

Meaning & Gifting

Whelks are often symbols of strength, travel, and homecoming. This necklace makes a thoughtful gift for beach lovers, shell collectors, or anyone who treasures quiet moments by the sea. It’s a way to carry a memory of Norfolk wherever you go.

Carry the Calm of the Coast

Part of the Norfolk Beaches Collection, this necklace is a quiet tribute to sea air, salty pockets, and the treasures we gather along the way—handmade to bring a little shoreline serenity to your everyday.

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: Sterling silver
  • Pendant Size: approx 1.5cms

  • Hallmarked: tag added to chain, hallmarked with Birmingham Assay Office mark, my maker's mark, 925 mark and date 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.
