Pendants and Lockets

Pendants and lockets, designed to be worn for life

Pendants are some of the most sentimental jewellery we make. The piece worn against the heart, often gifted, often inherited, often remodelled from something with its own history. This is jewellery designed to mean something.

Diamond pendants

The classic gift pendant. We make:

  • Solitaire diamond pendants, in a range of carat weights and settings, including four-claw, bezel and halo

  • Diamond cluster and floral-style pendants

  • Diamond pendants with coloured stone accents

  • Modern geometric designs

Available in 18ct white, yellow and rose gold, or platinum.

Gemstone pendants

Coloured stones look particularly beautiful in pendant form, where the stone sits flat and catches light from above. Our most-commissioned gemstone pendants feature:

  • Sapphires (blue, pink, yellow and parti-coloured Australian sapphires)

  • Opal (particularly Australian black opal and crystal opal)

  • Emerald and ruby

  • Topaz, tanzanite and tourmaline

  • Pearls, including South Sea and Tahitian

Lockets

A category that's quietly come back into fashion. We make lockets for:

  • Photo lockets, designed to hold one or two photos

  • Engraved lockets, with hand-engraved monograms, names, dates or messages

  • Remembrance lockets, designed to hold a small keepsake (a lock of hair, a fingerprint impression)

  • Lockets designed to be added to over time, with new charms or photos as occasions arise

Lockets can be made in any metal, with or without diamond and gemstone detailing. Some of our most beautiful work happens here.

Remodelling a ring into a pendant

One of our most popular pendant commissions starts with a ring. An inherited engagement ring that doesn't fit. A piece that's no longer worn but holds enormous sentimental value. A ring that needs an update.

The original stones and metal can be reworked into a new pendant design that gets active everyday use. Our gemmologist assesses the stones, our designer sketches options, and the new pendant is hand-built using the original materials. The result is a piece that carries the same history but fits the life you're living now.

Chains

We supply chains in matching metals to any pendant we make. Popular options:

  • Belcher chain, classic and versatile

  • Trace chain, lighter and finer

  • Snake chain, smooth and sleek

  • Box chain, square and structured

  • Adjustable chains, with multiple length options

Chain length recommendations vary by neckline, body type and preference. We'll work through what suits you at the consultation.

Crafted by Time, Curated With Care

The heart of The Wishart Estate lies in our passion for preserving beauty and honouring heritage. Each piece is sourced with intention and restored with care — not just to shine again, but to serve as a meaningful part of someone’s story.

With decades of experience and a deep appreciation for quality, we see estate jewellery not simply as second-hand, but as second-chance treasures ready to be loved once more. Our mission is to help you discover a piece that feels like it was always meant for you.
