Looking for a particular necklace

8 replies

My daughter is turning 16 shortly and she has asked me for a "Starless Sea" necklace.

bookandbiscuit.com/2020/11/28/best-bookish-jewellery-gifts-2020/

This is the necklace that she is looking for. It has a bumblebee, a key and a dagger on it on the same necklace.

The only suppliers that I have found online are ones in the USA and the shipping to Ireland is about the same as the cost of the necklace.

Can anyone suggest someone a bit closer to home that I might be able to order from???

Have a look on Etsy! I typed in 'Starless Sea jewellery' and found this.

@VeryWorriedDaughter - I did see that one but it dispatches from the US and the delivery to Ireland is €20 approx. The necklace is only €50 which is why I'm trying to find a jewellery store (either in real life or on line) that can do the necklace but delivery isn't that expensive.

Could you make up a necklace yourself with charms from somewhere like this www.charmsdirect.co.uk/jewellery-c1/charms-c2/themes-c140/dagger-charm-p15166

Really, get on e bay, all those charms can be bought as can chains at very minimal cost, i make bits and pieces this way and that very bee and chain have featured in my stuff.

That is a brilliant idea. I never thought to make it myself.

Genius there @notawittyname1954 !!!! Pure genius!

Thanks AnchorWHAT but I've searched Ebay for the necklace already made up and I can only find the book that the necklace refers to or pendants like starfish and seashells. Not the one that my daughter is looking for.

I will follow up with a couple of jewellery stores to see if they have the charms and then I'll see about getting the necklace made up (either by me or by the professionals) 😁

Then look for dagger charm theres loads and lots of keys, so easy to make yourself on three different length chains for mere pounds leaving your money for something else. If daughter wears earrings then use the spare charms to make earrings too or add to a chain bracelet for matching set. You might need some ring connectors too but they are pennies. Hobbycraft if you have one locally or any shop selling haberdashery will have all you need. Alternatively buy a cheap three linked necklace with any old charms on then using thin point pliers remove and replace the charms with the ones you want. Think how good it will feel to say to her ‘ I made that for you ‘ 👍🏻
