The piece

The Maria Necklace

Inspired by my Nonna Maria, this is the necklace that completes every jewellery collection. This was her go to, everyday, anywhere necklace. It always elevated her style and created a sense of timeless style and elegance.

This necklace is so close to my heart, creating a design replicated from a piece of jewellery that is more than 60 years old. If you are wanting to have a piece of jewellery that says I found this is my grandma's jewellery collection, this is the piece for you.

Common Questions

WILL THE GOLD VERMEIL TARNISH?

With everyday care, no — vermeil holds its colour for years. Just keep it dry: off before swimming, showering, or working out, and away from perfume. If anything ever wears, the 1-year warranty has you covered.

I HAVE SENSITIVE EARS — ARE THESE SAFE?

The posts are 925 sterling silver, hypoallergenic and tested by sensitive-eared founders. If your ears are extremely reactive, the 9k Solid variant is the safest option.

DO I NEED MULTIPLE PIERCINGS TO WEAR THESE?

One — that's the whole idea. The chains sit naturally below your existing piercing to create the illusion of a stacked ear. If you do have more piercings, even better — they layer in with whatever you've got.

CAN I WEAR THEM EVERY DAY?

Designed for it. Lightweight chains that sit flat, no pulling on the lobe. Just remember the care basics — off before water, sweat, or sleep — and they'll last for years.
