Size Guide - Necklace
Whether you’re buying a necklace or a pendant, the length of the necklace or the chain needs to be carefully considered.
Variation in lengths
If you already have a necklace with a length that is perfect for you, you can use the chart on the right to find out if you are ordering the size that you want by measuring the full length of your necklace. If you don’t have a necklace for reference, you can use the guide on the right to determine the right length that you are looking for by placing a tap measure around your neck like a necklace and adjusting it to your desired length. If you don’t have a tap measure, you can place a string around your neck and adjust it to your desired length. You can then measure the length of the string using a ruler.
Hesitating between two lengths?
If you are hesitating between two lengths, there are some recommendations that you can take into considerations. Longer necklace lengths tend to suit better for people who considers themselves having any of the following traits: tall, oval shaped face, smaller bust size, and relatively shorter neck. Shorter necklace lengths are considered to suit better for people who considers themselves having any of the following traits: short, heart shaped face, oblong shaped face, larger bust size, and longer neck.
Buying the necklace as a gift?
If you are buying the necklace as a gift, ask a close friend or family member if they know the correct length or have a necklace that fits perfectly that can be measured.

Classicworks™ Virgo Zodiac Balloon - Gold Plated Pendant
A collection of zodiac gold plated brass pendants in helium balloon shapes presented on a 14ct yellow gold vermeil chain.
Collection Narrative:


Fold is a comment on memory, society, consumerism and a host of other massive topics. Dramatic silhouettes flow elegantly and effortlessly in a series of pieces that present creases, pleats, ruffles, and layered folds and explore the essences of texture and shape.

Referencing the way drapery has been used by painters to convey movement since the Renaissance, particularly in the sketches of Leonardo da Vinci, Fold is fascinated by the way fabric is folded depending on the particularities of the human condition. Informed by a knowledge of art history, the collection narrates differences in a series of folds: a neat fold in the medieval Dutch portrait, a careless fold in that of a merchant sitting for a renaissance painter - these tell the story not just of a person's mood but also their historical moment.

Combining with the history of painting, the collection also investigates the writings of Georges Perec's and his exploration and documentation of the everyday and "that which is generally not taken note of, that which is not noticed, that which has no importance". Referring back to Perec's work, household cloths, folded bedsheets and hair scrunchies are used as motifs throughout Fold - not only for their ability to capture qualities of form, light and atmosphere, but for their material and everyday presence.

Product Care

When you love something, you don't throw it away or replace it. You mend it. We can lovingly renew and restore sterling silver and gold vermeil jewellery - just like my grandparent's mended my clothes for me when I was a child. 


Renewing scratches and minor damage: Small scratches, broken posts, missing stones - these can also be easily repaired - so they can last a life time and become heirlooms. 


Renewing: Completedworks gold vermeil plating is 3 mircons thick - which should mean the gold will last 2-3 years of regular wear. If it does become worn, we can offer an affordable and hassle-free replating service.
