Scrollwork Bow Silver Pendant Necklace

Our Scrollwork Bow Silver Pendant Necklace is a little piece of history reimagined in sterling silver. Inspired by an ornate key design from Tudor England, this distinctive pendant features graceful, curling scrollwork and intricate open spaces, creating a beautiful balance between simplicity and ornamentation.

The pendant is made in bright, shiny sterling silver, with delicate cut-out details that allow light to pass through the design. Its flowing, symmetrical curves give it an elegant appearance, while the unusual shape adds plenty of personality.

At approximately 1.95cm tall, the pendant is relatively small and lightweight, making it an easy piece to wear every day. It's distinctive enough to attract attention without being overwhelming, and its intricate design looks equally lovely with casual outfits or something a little more dressed up.

Inspired by a Tudor key

The inspiration for this design came from a Victorian-era collection of engravings documenting historical metalwork from many different periods.

Simone has long been fascinated by these old collections, particularly the way Victorian researchers and artists carefully illustrated, recorded and categorised decorative fragments from objects made centuries earlier.

Among the many beautiful designs was the decorative bow of a key made in Tudor England. The bow is the part of a key held between your fingers when turning it, and in this case it featured an intricate arrangement of curling scrollwork.

Simone was drawn to the way the design managed to be both simple and ornate, with its graceful curves and beautifully balanced shape. She adapted the historical pattern into a sterling silver pendant and matching earrings, first released in 2011.

The design became a favourite with customers, and when someone recently asked whether it might return, Simone decided it deserved a place in our 30th Anniversary Jewellery Range.

Of all the designs revisited for the anniversary collection, this one remains closest to its original form. The pattern has been carefully refined, but the distinctive scrollwork and historical character that made it special remain.

Styling your scrollwork pendant

This versatile sterling silver necklace is easy to wear with almost anything. Its intricate design adds an interesting detail to a simple everyday outfit, while the bright silver finish and ornamental shape make it equally suitable for dressing up.

It's also a lovely choice for layering. Try wearing it alongside smaller silver pendants or simple chains at different lengths to create a more individual look.

The pendant hangs from a delicate sterling silver chain with a secure clasp and an adjustable extension chain, allowing you to vary the length from approximately 45cm to 55cm. For additional length, you can add our silver chain extender.

For a coordinated look, pair the necklace with our matching Scrollwork Bow Silver Dangle Earrings. The two designs complement one another beautifully, particularly when you're dressing up for an occasion. Also see the Scrollwork Bow Silver & Amazonite Beaded Necklace.

Whether you're drawn to its historical origins, intricate pattern or unusual shape, this little silver pendant is a distinctive addition to any jewellery collection.

Most of our necklaces are adjustable. We typically use a standard (princess) length of 45cm (18"), with an additional 10cm extender chain, which allows adjustment up to matinee length (55cm / 22"). These are the most popular and versatile necklace lengths.

Some of our designs have different lengths, and a few are non-adjustable. Be sure to check the product details and sizes & materials section for the specific measurements of this necklace.

Use our necklace length chart to see where different lengths will sit on the body. However, everyone is different, so we recommend measuring an existing necklace or using a piece of string to find your ideal fit.
