Sutton Hoo Garnet Necklace

This necklace has been designed by Martick Jewellery and is based on the Frankish, early 7th century AD, coins found in the Sutton Hoo ship burial hoard - part of the splendid collection of grave goods from the Anglo-Saxon ship-burial at Sutton Hoo in Suffolk.

A striking necklace based on a gold coin from the famous Sutton Hoo hoard.

Designed by Martick, this gold-plated sterling silver pendant is inspired by one of the gold coins discovered at the 7th century Sutton Hoo burial site in Suffolk, UK, which is now housed in the British Museum collection. Dramatic garnet beads suspended from the main pendant finish the exciting piece.  

Excavations of the Sutton Hoo burial site have been ongoing since the 1930s. Many of the treasures, including the famous Sutton Hoo Helmet, now form part of the British Museum’s Anglo-Saxon collection.

A beautiful gift inspired by an important piece of Britain’s archaeological history.
