Calon Pendant

The Calon Pendant is inspired by the flowing curve of the Welsh Red Dragon’s tail, reimagined as a sculptural open heart. Symbolising love, strength and protection, it is a meaningful Welsh necklace with a clear connection to heritage, identity and sentiment.

Available in small, medium and large, each version offers its own presence. The small and medium pendants are suspended from a delicate 1.4mm belcher chain, while the larger pendant is paired with a slightly bolder 1.7mm chain to complement its scale. Every necklace measures 16 inches with a 2-inch extender for flexible everyday wear.

Handmade in Cardiff Bay from recycled sterling silver, with the option of warm 18ct yellow gold plating, this polished modern pendant brings Welsh symbolism into a refined contemporary form. It makes a thoughtful gift for someone with a connection to Wales, whether for a birthday, anniversary, Santes Dwynwen’s Day or as a personal emblem of home.

Calon means heart in Welsh. Rather than following a traditional heart shape, the design takes its distinctive form from the Red Dragon, creating a pendant that feels recognisably Welsh while remaining clean, sculptural and easy to wear.

As a silver heart necklace or gold-plated Welsh pendant, it can be worn alone as a meaningful everyday piece or layered with other chains for a more personal look. The open design catches the light beautifully, giving the pendant a strong but elegant presence.

A considered Welsh jewellery gift for her, the Calon Pendant is ideal for marking love, friendship, family and belonging. Each necklace is presented in Neil Rayment Goldsmiths’ terracotta eco-friendly branded packaging, ready for gifting.
