Ethical friendship jewellery ideas to celebrate lifelong bonds
A necklace to symbolise soul sisters
Our Eternally Friends Pendant Necklace spotlights what’s known in ancient Greek mythology as the ‘Graces’; three or more goddesses depicted together, associated with charm, beauty, nature, human creativity, goodwill, and fertility. This piece is a wonderful way to champion the strength, resilience and deep connection found in female friendships. Available in solid recycled 9ct gold or recycled sterling silver, celebrate your soul sisters with a necklace they’ll treasure forever.
A pendant that knows them: star sign necklaces
Recognise all you love about them with one of our personalised zodiac pendant necklaces. Perfect for those who look to the stars for guidance, alignment and clarity in their lives, choose their sign for a meaningful gift that celebrates all they are. Add an extra touch with complementary engraving on the back of the pendant, for a short message held close to their heart each time they wear it.

Lab-diamond jewellery that shines as bright as they do
Add quiet elegance to their everyday with lab-grown diamond jewellery. Ethically grown in a lab, the stones in our diamond jewellery glisten with grace and radiance, while being kinder to the planet and its people. Our new Solitaire Diamond Studs are special earrings that subtly sparkle when worn, perfect for marking friendships that shine bright.
An ode to their name: initial jewellery for your best friend
Initial jewellery is a timeless way to honour special connections, making them wonderful friendship jewellery gifts. Our Initial Dot Necklace is a delicate, dainty pendant necklace designed to symbolise bonds between friends, family and partners. Choose their initial for yourself, and gift them one with yours; a quiet way to keep your bestie close.
A pair, but not a match: complementary chunky rings for kindred spirits
A friendship is rooted in your similarities and common values, but your differences can also be just as influential in forming a deep and unique bond. Our Bloom Ring collection features four complementary, nature-inspired designs, originally carved in wax. Choose one that speaks to you, and another that your friend will love, for a pair of rings that reflect the beauty of individuality in friendship.
One-of-a-kind, just like them: bespoke friendship jewellery
If you want to design something truly one-of-a-kind, discover our bespoke jewellery service. Perhaps you have some heirloom gold or gemstones you’d like to make into something new for your best friend, or want to design something personalised from scratch to honour your friendship.
