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.

Groatie Buckie Cowrie Shell Necklace – A Treasure from Scottish Shores

My dad’s family come from Scotland, and we visit every year. One of our favourite things to do is spend time on the beaches, collecting little treasures as we go. This cowrie shell—known in Orkney as a Groatie Buckie—was one of those finds from a much-loved beach walk.

I never seem to return from the coast without my pockets full of shells, and these are cast from that very collection. Each one is cast in sterling silver and then carefully finished by hand in my Norfolk workshop, with a good deal of polishing, shaping, and reminiscing before they’re ready to wear.

This necklace is a beautiful reminder of Scottish beaches, salty breezes, and the joy of simple seaside discoveries.

Design Details
  • Material: Sterling silver
  • Pendant Size: Approx 1cm
  • Chain: Sterling silver curb chain, please choose length from Choker, Princess and Matinee
  • Hallmarked: Not required due to weight
Meaning & Gifting

Cowrie shells have long been considered lucky, believed to bring protection and good fortune. This necklace makes a thoughtful gift for beach lovers, shell collectors, or anyone who enjoys a quiet reminder of the coast. A gentle nod to memory, nature, and family roots.

Packaging & Extras

Your necklace will arrive beautifully presented in a white Claire Howard Jewellery box, embossed with my signature gold flower logo and tied with ribbon. Inside you'll find a care card to help you keep your jewellery looking its best, a polishing cloth, and handwritten thank you card - because every order is special. If you’d like to include a gift message and bag, simply add them at checkout.

Carry the Spirit of the Shore

Inspired by windswept walks along Scotland’s coast, this necklace captures the magic of a wave-washed cowrie shell. A tiny wearable memory—handmade to bring a little seaside serenity to your everyday.
