Gold Shield Necklace Collection
Gold shield necklaces are a modern trend with roots in history. For thousands of years, shields provided real protection and symbolized strength and security. Once tied to nobility and heraldry, for modern wearers, gold shield pendants are an expression of individual identity and style.
For customizing and for giving
Shields in Victorian times were often worn for family identity, to commemorate an event, or to honor an achievement. Today, they are perfect for marking a graduation, anniversary, or birthday—or just celebrating a person or relationship. You can customize colors and stones, and personalize with engraving.

Inspiration and creative process
My gold shield necklace collection started when I was researching period costumes. From medieval talisman to Victorian memento, decorative shields tell a fascinating story. In the Middle Ages, people thought these talismans really could protect the wearer. Today, the symbolic meaning of safeguarding has resonance. From their roots in heraldry, today they speak to individual identity with meaning that can be passed down to loved ones.
