Living in Coquitlam, we're constantly surrounded by the quiet persistence of nature. We designed the Wild Ivy Necklace to capture that same subtle energy. It's a gentle, wearable nod to the outdoors that rests comfortably below your collarbone.
The pendant is a gently curved, polished bar suspended horizontally from a fine cable chain. Sprouting from this central branch are six small, smooth leaf motifs, arranged playfully along the top and bottom edges. The entire piece is cast in a warm, solid gold with a distinct rosy hue that catches the light easily. The chain connects to small jump rings at both ends, keeping the branch balanced across your chest.
We cast the Wild Ivy in 14 Karat solid gold. 14-karat gold contains exactly 58.3% pure gold, blended with stronger alloy metals. Which means you get a necklace that resists the scratching and bending that often ruin softer, higher-karat pieces over time. Because it's solid metal through and through, it'll never rub off or change colour.
- Material: 14 Karat solid gold
- Pendant: Curved horizontal branch with six smooth leaf accents
- Chain: Fine cable chain
- Warranty: 2-year studio warranty
Choose this if you want a subtle connection to the forests of British Columbia without wearing something overly rustic. It offers a clean, modern take on botanical jewellery. Light enough to forget you're wearing it, yet structured enough to hold its own against a simple crewneck.
Frequently Asked Questions
How should I clean this necklace?
Soak it in warm water with a few drops of mild dish soap for ten minutes. Use a soft baby toothbrush to gently clear away any lotions around the leaves, then rinse well and pat dry with a soft cloth.
Does this work well for layering?
Yes. Because the bar sits horizontally and stays anchored by two chain attachment points, it creates a great base. Wear it short and pair with a longer, vertical pendant to balance the shapes on your neckline.
What chain length does it come in?
The piece comes on a standard 18-inch cable chain, dropping the branch right around the collarbone for most people. If you need a custom length, just email support@vanhess.ca before you order.

We offer a 30-day return window for unworn jewellery. Just reach out to returns@vanhess.ca and we'll arrange a prepaid return label.
