Most necklaces have a centrepiece that hangs down. This one's different. A small, jewelled branch sits sideways along your collarbone, following its curve. It becomes part of the chain itself, not just something hanging from it.
A fine 14K gold chain is interrupted by a small, curved branch. The branch has five leaves, each one pave-set with tiny, brilliant-cut cubic zirconia that catch the light. From the largest leaf, a single pear-shaped stone hangs, free to move. The branch is fixed in place, sitting horizontally. Further up the chain, a small marquise-shaped link adds another point of interest.
We make this necklace from solid 14-karat gold, not plated or filled. It's 58.3% pure gold, with the rest being alloys that add strength and durability. This means the warm gold colour is there to stay; it won't rub off or fade over time, and it's a good choice if you have sensitive skin. The stones are high-grade Cubic Zirconia. We chose them for their clarity and fire, which gives you the sparkle of a diamond without the same cost.

You'll choose this necklace for its asymmetry. The sideways branch and the single, off-centre stone station break up the chain in an interesting way. It sits differently than a standard pendant, making it a piece that draws a second look without being loud or oversized.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the dangling teardrop stone on the Hopeful Nest Necklace get caught on clothing?
The teardrop stone is small and smoothly polished, so it's unlikely to catch on most fabrics. It's designed to move freely. However, with very delicate knits like cashmere or lace, it's always a good idea to be a little more mindful when putting it on or taking it off.
Can I wear my 14K gold Hopeful Nest Necklace in the shower?
Yes, you can wear your solid 14K gold necklace in the shower. Water won't harm it, but soaps and shampoos can leave a film that dulls the gold and stones over time. We recommend taking it off to keep it looking its best, or cleaning it regularly if you do wear it.
How will the Hopeful Nest Necklace sit on my collarbone?
The necklace is designed so the branch element sits horizontally, just along the collarbone. Because it's a fixed part of the chain, it won't slide around like a traditional pendant. The exact position will depend on the chain length you choose and the shape of your neck.
What happens if I receive the Hopeful Nest Necklace and I don't like how it looks on me?
