The Charm of a Fob Chain

Originally used to secure pocket watches, the fob chain has found a new place in vintage-inspired jewellery. Its distinctive links make it a lovely statement on its own, although it works just as well layered with finer chains. A gold fob chain brings extra warmth to the look, especially if you enjoy mixing different necklace styles.

Pendants, Lockets and Pearls With Meaning

Sometimes it's a particular detail that draws you to a necklace, while other times it's what the piece represents. These vintage-inspired styles offer different ways to make your jewellery feel personal.

  • Vintage pendant necklace: A single pendant can say so much about your style, whether you prefer something understated or a design that draws the eye.
  • Vintage locket: Traditionally made to hold a photograph or keepsake, a locket is a lovely symbol of keeping someone or something close.
  • Vintage pearl necklace: Pearls have long been loved for their soft lustre and elegant feel, making them a beautiful influence on nostalgic jewellery.

If you love adding details with personal meaning, explore our vintage charms for more inspiration.

Find Your Favourite Colour and Finish

You might naturally gravitate towards gold or find yourself drawn to a particular shade of blue. Whatever catches your eye, colour and finish can make a necklace feel distinctly yours.

  • Aquamarine necklace: Aquamarine's delicate blue tone brings a softer touch of colour, particularly lovely if you prefer jewellery with an understated feel.
  • Blue stone necklace: Richer blue stones, including Lapis and Sodalite, bring depth and character to selected Trove pendant designs.
  • Vintage gold necklace: Warm gold finishes complement decorative details and pair easily with the pieces you already love wearing.

Wear Vintage Your Way

There's no need to match every piece of jewellery to create a look that feels put together. Try layering a decorative pendant with a finer chain, or let a more distinctive necklace become the focus of your outfit. What matters most is choosing pieces you feel comfortable and confident wearing.

Our vintage earrings are another lovely way to complement your necklace while keeping the look your own.

Find a Necklace You'll Love Wearing

What chain lengths are available for vintage necklaces?

The right length depends on how you love wearing your jewellery. A shorter necklace can sit beautifully against your neckline, while a longer chain gives you more room to experiment with layering. Lengths vary between Trove designs, so check the measurements in each product description to find one that sits just where you'd like it.

Can a vintage locket be personalised or hold a photo?

Traditional lockets are designed to hold small photographs or keepsakes, which is part of what makes them so meaningful. Francesca’s vintage Margot Photo Locket is perfect for holding special memories inside.  Not every vintage-inspired pendant opens or can be personalised, though, so it's worth checking the features of the design you love. If you're unsure, our customer care team can help clarify what's possible before you order.

Are vintage pearl necklaces genuine pearls?

Pearls have always been a beautiful part of vintage jewellery, but not every pearl-inspired necklace contains genuine pearls. Depending on the design, jewellery may feature natural, cultured or imitation pearls. If you're considering a Trove piece, check its product description for the materials used so you know exactly what you're choosing.

Can necklace chains be shortened or extended?

Some necklaces have adjustable chains, while others are designed to sit at a fixed length. If you have a particular fit in mind, check the chain measurements and fastening details before ordering. Our customer care team can also help you understand the options for your chosen necklace, so you can find a length that feels right for you.
