Craftsmanship Behind Roberts & Co’s Mixed Chain Necklaces

The creation of each mixed chain necklace is a journey – a testament to the passion and dedication that goes into every Roberts & Co piece.

The Design Process

Every necklace begins as a spark of inspiration. At Roberts & Co, this idea is nurtured, refined, and brought to life without resorting to sketching, relying instead on intimate knowledge, experience, and a keen sense of aesthetics. The journey from a mere idea to a finished necklace is marked by deliberation, passion, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

Material Selection

Quality is paramount in our creations. The luminous allure of sterling silver and the rich warmth of 18ct gold plated vermeil are not just choices but statements. These materials reflect our brand's promise: to deliver jewelry that's both timeless in appeal and unmatched in quality.

Handcrafted with Precision

In an age of mass production, Roberts & Co stands out with its artisan touch. Each necklace is handcrafted, ensuring precision in every link and clasp. This meticulous approach guarantees not just a piece of jewelry, but a work of art that carries with it a soul, a history, and an artisan's signature touch.

Styling Tips for Mixed Chain Necklaces

Mixed chain necklaces, with their versatile charm, are a delightful addition to any wardrobe. Whether you're headed to a casual brunch or a black-tie event, here's how to ensure your necklace always shines through.

Casual Elegance

For those laid-back days, your mixed chain necklace can be the highlight of your ensemble. Pair it with a simple white tee, jeans, and ankle boots for a chic yet relaxed look. The necklace adds a touch of sophistication, transforming an everyday outfit into a stylish statement.

Dressed to Impress

Formal events call for jewelry that complements without overshadowing. Let your mixed chain necklace drape gracefully over a solid-colored gown or sheath dress. The subtle glint of sterling silver or 18ct gold vermeil will add just the right amount of sparkle, ensuring you're the center of attention for all the right reasons.

Layering Magic

Embrace the trend of layering by pairing your mixed chain necklace with other pieces. Whether it's with a choker, a pendant necklace, or even a longer chain, the mixed design will weave seamlessly, creating a multi-dimensional look that's both modern and captivating.

Care and Maintenance

Every piece of jewelry from Roberts & Co is a testament to exquisite craftsmanship and design. To ensure your necklace remains as radiant as the day you first wore it, it's essential to follow proper care and maintenance guidelines.

Ensuring Longevity

To keep your mixed chain necklace looking pristine:

• Avoid contact with harsh chemicals or cosmetics. It's a good practice to put your necklace on last when dressing up and take it off first when dressing down.
• Store your necklace in a cool, dry place, ideally in a soft pouch to prevent scratches.
• Regularly wipe your necklace with a soft, lint-free cloth to maintain its shine.
• Keep your necklace away from extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for extended periods.

Caring for Sterling Silver vs. 18ct Gold Plated Pieces

Sterling silver and 18ct gold plated jewelry have different care needs:

• Sterling Silver: This metal can tarnish over time. Use a silver polishing cloth for cleaning. Avoid using abrasive materials or soaking it in water for too long.
• 18ct Gold Plated: The gold layer can wear away with excessive friction. Clean with a soft cloth and warm soapy water, gently rubbing. Rinse with cool water and pat dry. Always store separately to avoid scratches.

The Timeless Allure of Mixed Chain Necklaces

Across eras and fashion trends, mixed chain necklaces have continuously woven their charm, effortlessly blending with every style and occasion. Their versatility and elegance make them not just a fleeting trend, but a timeless statement that resonates with jewelry enthusiasts worldwide.

At Roberts & Co, our handcrafted creations aim to capture this enduring appeal. We invite you to explore our curated collection and find that perfect piece – a necklace that resonates with your style, tells your story, and becomes a cherished keepsake for years to come.
