Short Necklaces

Short necklaces at Sugarplum sit between the collarbone and the bust, the length that works with almost any neckline and layers well with longer chains. The 35 styles here include chunky brad chains, sea-shell and starfish pendants, triple-circle silver pieces, multi-bead designs in blue and cream, ornate stone and diamante surround necklaces, and suede cord spirals in neutral tones. All are fashion jewellery in silver-plated, faux-gold and stainless steel finishes.

The suede cord pieces add texture you do not get from a metal chain, and they sit particularly well over summer tops and knitwear. The stainless steel tiny-flower necklace is worth knowing about if you want something that keeps its finish through daily life without fuss. For more occasion-ready choices, the ornate stone diamante surround piece reads very differently from the simple Georgia triple-circle silver, same length, different feel entirely.

Length is the main decision point. Most pieces here sit at around 16 to 20 inches, which puts them at or just below the collarbone. That length suits V-necks, scoop necks and open collars well. Round and crew necks can feel busy with a short chain, so we would usually steer towards a longer pendant in that case. The sister page, long necklaces, carries 14-inch-plus drops for exactly that reason.

Pop into the boutique at 154 Fleet Road, Fleet to try a piece against your neckline before buying. Online orders come with free UK delivery on Royal Mail Tracked 48, a 14-day returns window and Sugarplum Rewards points on every purchase.
