We have chosen silver chains and necklace collections from jewellery designers who showcase a passion for sustainable and ethically sourced materials, handcrafted and aesthetically excellent pieces and above all, originality. These designers value quality over quantity.

There is a variety of silver chain styles for women in our collections, ranging from fine-round to smooth-serpent and chunky-curb chains, which create interest. However, most silver necklace designs today are delightfully unisex, with larger link chains, innovative earphone necklaces, and engravable disc pendants, all being gender-neutral.
