Kit Heath Necklaces

Kit Heath necklaces embody the elegance, craftsmanship, and quiet confidence that define modern British silver jewellery. Designed in Devon since 1984, the brand creates sculptural, wearable pieces that feel considered and meaningful—perfect for everyday styling, gifting, and milestone celebrations. Each necklace is crafted in 925 sterling silver, often finished with rhodium plating for long-lasting shine and anti-tarnish protection, or elevated with 18ct gold plating for added warmth.

Signature collections such as Infinity, Bevel, Serenity, and Coast Pebble express themes of love, connection, and nature through soft curves, fluid lines, and symbolic detailing. These are timeless designs that hold emotional resonance without feeling trend-driven, making them ideal for customers who value understated sophistication.

Every Kit Heath necklace is hypoallergenic, AnchorCert Protect accredited, and crafted to strict ethical standards. For a deeper look at the brand's 40-year heritage, craftsmanship, and cultural significance, read our full Kit Heath Brand Guide.

British Heritage & Devon Roots

Kit Heath began in 1984 when siblings Kit Heath and Katie Nickell launched their first silver designs from North Devon. What started as a VW campervan travelling studio has grown into a nationally recognised British jewellery house. The brand remains family-run four decades later, guided by values of trust, opportunity, connection, and consideration. Today, its necklaces continue to celebrate the natural forms and emotional themes that have shaped the brand's identity since the beginning.

Design Philosophy & Materials

Every Kit Heath necklace is crafted from 925 sterling silver and hallmarked in the UK for authenticity on pieces above 7.78g. Many designs feature a rhodium-plated finish for anti-tarnish protection and lasting brightness. Select necklaces incorporate 18ct yellow or rose gold plating, bringing warmth and contrast to sculptural silhouettes. Collections such as Infinity, Bevel, Coast Pebble, and Serenity interpret themes of enduring bonds, nature, and calm through smooth curves and considered proportions.

The brand's AnchorCert Protect accreditation ensures necklaces are tested free from 17 known metal allergens, including nickel, making them suitable for sensitive skin. Ethical compliance includes REACH standards, Responsible Jewellery Council guidelines, and full adherence to UK safety regulations.

Gemstones, Pearls & Finishing

Selected necklaces feature ethically sourced semi-precious gemstones, synthetic stones, and cultured freshwater pearls—each chosen for lustre, durability, and character. Baroque pearls, celebrated for their natural irregularity, highlight the brand's "perfectly imperfect" design ethos. All pieces are hand-finished to maintain the sculptural precision that defines Kit Heath's design language.

Cultural Recognition & Brand Values

Kit Heath continues to be recognised for design excellence, including the Professional Jeweller "Silver Jewellery Collection of the Year 2024" award for the Serenity collection. The brand's cultural impact extends through collaborations and charitable partnerships, including the 2024 Smart Works initiative supporting women into employment—a reflection of the brand's commitment to social purpose.

Celebrity visibility, such as the Happiness necklace seen on Lorraine Kelly, Frankie Bridge, and Denise Lewis via HELLO! Magazine, further strengthens its position as a leading British silver brand.

Care, Warranty & OD's Aftercare

Rhodium-plated necklaces are low-maintenance but benefit from occasional polishing with a soft cloth. Gold-plated finishes are best worn occasionally to preserve the layer. Kit Heath offers a two-year guarantee from the purchase date, covering manufacturing and material faults. OD's Jewellers provides in-store cleaning, styling guidance, professional assessment, and full warranty coordination.

Kit Heath necklaces reflect refined British design with smooth, sculptural silver forms. Complete your look with coordinating earrings, bracelets and matching rings.
