Symbol necklace 'Drop' 14ct yellow gold

A small piece of gold that stays with you

Some things don't need explaining. You wear them because they're there, because they connect you to someone, and because that connection matters. This 14ct yellow gold drop pendant is one of those things: understated in size, considered in meaning.

Handcrafted in 14ct yellow gold

The pendant is handmade from 14ct yellow gold, an alloy in which 58.5% of the material is pure gold, with additional metals added to increase durability. That composition gives the piece its characteristic colour and means it holds up well to everyday wear without losing its lustre. It hangs on a fine 1mm anchor chain, 45cm in length with an intermediate loop at 42cm so you can adjust the fit to your preference. This is jewellery made to be worn, not kept in a drawer.

The drop as symbol

A drop is a specific shape with a specific weight of meaning. It speaks to release and continuation, to the point where something lets go and keeps moving. It has been associated with tears, with rain, with the passage between one state and another. If the bond you shared with the person you've lost feels better expressed through something quiet and symbolic than through words, the drop holds that. You'll know when you touch it that it's there.

Practical things worth knowing

Gold is durable, but it does benefit from straightforward care. Here is what you need to know before choosing.

This pendant does not hold ashes

Please note: this pendant is a symbol necklace only. It is not designed to hold cremated remains. If you are looking for a cremation urn in wearable form, please see our range of ash-holding memorial jewellery.

Wearing and caring for your necklace

14ct yellow gold is well suited to daily wear, but prolonged contact with perfume, chlorine or salt water can dull the surface over time. Store the necklace separately from other jewellery to avoid surface scratches, and clean it occasionally with a soft cloth. With that small amount of attention, it will keep its colour and appearance for years.

If this feels like the right choice

This necklace is for those who want something present but not prominent, something that marks a loss on the quiet days and travels with you through the ordinary ones. The drop shape is direct and considered, and the 14ct gold ensures it will last as long as you want to wear it.
