What does a St Christopher pendant mean?
St Christopher is the patron saint of travellers, and the pendant has traditionally been worn as a symbol of protection on a journey. Today it's worn for its meaning as much as its design, by people of all backgrounds. We also carry a small number of Celtic cross pendants, which carry similar sentimental or symbolic value for many wearers.
Are your coin pendants made from real coins?
Yes, where a listing describes a coin pendant, it's made using a genuine coin rather than a replica. The listing will tell you the coin's date and denomination.
What is Charles Rennie Mackintosh style jewellery?
Charles Rennie Mackintosh was a Scottish architect and designer associated with the Glasgow School in the early 20th century. Jewellery in his style features clean lines and stylised natural motifs, most recognisably the "Mackintosh rose," and remains a popular part of Scottish design today.
What should I look for in the condition of a necklace or pendant?
Look for wear to the chain and clasp, and check pendants and lockets for secure hinges, catches and settings. We photograph pieces clearly and note any significant condition points in the description.
What affects the price of a necklace or pendant?
Price is influenced by the design, materials, any gemstones or pearls, age, condition, and how unusual or desirable the piece is. Hallmarks can also add interest and help confirm metal type.
Do you accept returns on jewellery?
Yes, we offer a 14-day return policy from receipt, as long as the item is returned in the same condition as received. Please contact us before sending a return.
