The Mineral Drift Necklace is a gentle ode to nature’s textures, tones and quiet elegance. Designed and handcrafted in London, this piece blends mineral gemstones, natural white quartz in various organic forms, round mother-of-pearl accents, and 18k gold–plated stainless steel elements. Each component is selected for its raw beauty, soft neutrality and subtle luminosity, creating a necklace that feels both effortlessly modern and deeply timeless.
This handmade necklace was created with the intention of offering versatility and emotional resonance—something you can wear every day, yet still feel special each time it touches your skin. Because jewellery should not only decorate; it should accompany you. And the Mineral Drift Necklace is designed to become exactly that: a quiet companion full of texture, personality and gentle colour.
What makes this necklace truly unique is the natural variation of its gemstones. Each bead carries its own markings, translucency, shapes and curves—proof that it was formed slowly by the earth, not manufactured. This individuality gives the necklace that “one-of-a-kind jewellery” character that so many people seek but rarely find in mass-produced pieces. When you choose a handmade necklace like this one, you're not simply choosing an accessory—you’re bringing home a tiny work of art shaped by natural forces and completed by human hands.
The softly muted palette—milky quartz whites, mineral greys, pale sandy notes, and hints of greenish-stone depth—creates a soothing, coastal-inspired aesthetic. It is reminiscent of sea-smooth pebbles collected during slow walks on the shore, tiny treasures carried home as reminders of gentleness. This makes the Mineral Drift Necklace especially suitable for anyone who gravitates towards coastal jewellery, earthy tones, and calming natural textures.
In the world of artisan jewellery, a piece like this stands out because it blends modern minimalism with handcrafted soul. The alternating stones are intentionally placed to create rhythm and movement without overwhelming the eye. The 18k gold stainless steel chain adds a warm contrast that feels luxurious yet understated, bringing balance to the cool gemstone tones. The result is a necklace that sits beautifully with everyday outfits—linen shirts, crisp tees, knitwear—as well as elevated looks for evenings out.
If you're someone who enjoys statement necklaces that whisper instead of shout, this piece strikes the perfect tone. It’s expressive without being bold, elegant without being formal, and artisanal without feeling rustic. Its tactile mix of shapes invites touch, making it a grounding, sensory piece that resonates emotionally as much as visually.
Handmade jewellery often holds a deeper meaning for the wearer, and the Mineral Drift Necklace is crafted with that in mind. Each stone is selected and placed by hand, each link is assembled with care, and the entire piece is designed in London within Lucy Andy’s micro-studio environment. Choosing handmade means embracing slower creation, thoughtful production and jewellery designed to last—not just physically, but emotionally.
This necklace integrates seamlessly into capsule wardrobes, and its neutral palette ensures it layers beautifully with gold chains, freshwater pearls, and other gemstone necklaces. Whether worn alone for a clean and minimal look or stacked with complementary pieces, it maintains its authenticity and quiet charm.
The Mineral Drift Necklace belongs to the broader world of pure jewellery, coastal jewellery, and one-of-a-kind artisan design. Its intention is to bring the feeling of nature’s simplicity into your everyday rituals. It’s the kind of piece that becomes part of your personal style story—something that feels like “you” every time you put it on
