Amy Sandheim Lapis & Moonstone Silver Pendant Necklace | British Arts & Crafts c.1930

This remarkable pendant necklace by Amy Sandheim is a quiet triumph of the British Arts & Crafts movement.

Made in the 1930s, it brings together the rich, velvety depth of lapis lazuli with the soft glow of moonstone, each element chosen not just for beauty, but for resonance.

Sandheim’s work always stood apart - expressive, slightly mystical, and deeply personal.

Here, a sculptural teardrop of lapis anchors the piece, set in intricately worked silver and crowned with moonstone cabochons that seem to float in place.

The original 100cm chain is equally considered: long, graceful, and threaded with silver detailing and additional moonstone and lapis accents, it adds texture and rhythm without fuss.

There’s a clear sense of artistry in the composition, but it doesn’t try too hard. It speaks of an era - and a maker - that valued individuality, integrity, and the quiet power of materials left a little wild.

This is a necklace with presence, made to be worn and felt rather than simply admired.

It’s exceptionally rare to find an Amy Sandheim pendant complete with its original handmade silver chain, especially one in such fine condition.

These chains were not generic - they were individually crafted to complement the pendant’s scale and design, forming a cohesive whole.

Over time, many were separated, replaced, or lost entirely.

This example has survived intact, with its craftsmanship, stones, and detailing beautifully preserved - a true testament to Sandheim’s original vision and a rarity for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Made in England, and unmistakably Sandheim.
