Make your necklace from recycled gold or silver something unique and combine it with one or more of our pendants. All pendants, like our necklaces, are made from recycled precious metals and synthetic diamonds and are ideal for personalising your necklace. Whether you like, for example, an engraved coin, a letter or one of our particularly symbol-rich designs - choose a pendant as the keeper of your story and always wear it close to your heart. You can also combine several different pendants together on one chain and create a particularly unique look. We are sure you will find your jewellery match, which looks beautiful and also reflects you, your values and your beliefs.
It can always happen that your favorite necklace breaks — especially when you wear very delicate necklaces. Even if it is made from high-quality recycled gold or sterling silver, it is designed to break under stronger pulling to keep you from getting hurt. If your necklace does break, we will be happy to repair it for you, if possible, or rework it for you, because our goal is a circular economy. As long as your necklace was made from solid, high-quality materials, it can usually be fixed again without any problems. Feel free to take a look at our individual jewelry services. There are also ways you can repair your necklace yourself in some cases. Take a look in our journal for this.
Even though at Maren Jewellery we consciously avoid short-lived trends, we see necklace layering as an art form that can be beautifully created with necklaces you already own — and one we never get tired of looking at: you simply wear several necklaces and pendants at the same time and combine them in truly individual compositions. You can mix chains of different lengths and also different metals. We also love the mix of delicate chains and chunky-link necklaces, which create the perfect frame for a special pendant. If you need advice with this, feel free to contact us. We will definitely find the perfect combination of jewelry pieces to suit you.

Necklaces designed by Helge Maren
For Helge Maren Hauptmann, jewelry is something deeply personal. It preserves memories, tells stories, and often stays with us for a lifetime. This mindset shapes every piece of jewelry from Maren Jewellery.
After studying jewelry design in Pforzheim and spending many years in the industry, the designer founded Maren Jewellery in 2020 to create jewelry according to her own values: handcrafted and defined by a quiet luxury aesthetic. Using recycled gold and lab-grown diamonds, she creates pieces that do not need to be loud to make an impact—for women who value timeless design and a traceable origin of materials.
When designing our necklaces, we pay attention to a clear and traceable choice of materials. Depending on the design, we use recycled gold and recycled silver as well as lab-grown diamonds. In this way, we use existing precious metals for gold and silver. You can find out which materials are used for a particular piece of jewellery on the relevant product page. We also work with selected partner companies in production and document our supply chain. Timeless design, careful craftsmanship, and the option to repair or refurbish many of our pieces are intended to help them accompany you for many years. Discover our necklaces and find the design that suits you, your style, and your personal stories.
Frequently Asked Questions About Necklaces
What materials are the necklaces from Maren Jewellery made of?
Our necklaces are made from recycled gold or recycled sterling silver, depending on the design, and selected styles are available with lab-grown diamonds. We rely on existing precious metals and support their reuse. We work with selected partners and make many of our jewelry pieces to order, allowing us to align production with actual demand. We also take a thoughtful approach to the materials used in our packaging. As a B Corp™- and RJC-certified company, we have our corporate and supply chain standards reviewed regularly and independently. We continue to support our jewelry after purchase with a range of services: many of our necklaces can be repaired or refurbished.
How do I find the right chain length?
The perfect length for your necklace depends on your preferences. A well-fitting necklace not only flatters your silhouette, but also adds a special touch of elegance to your look. Short, finely crafted necklaces (42 cm) sit directly at the collarbone and look especially refined and feminine. Medium-length necklaces (50 cm) are stylish all-rounders that fit effortlessly into any modern or classic look. Long chains (60 cm) give your outfit a luxurious, gently elongating line and pair exquisitely with high-quality blouses or fine knitwear.
What is the best way to care for the necklaces from Maren Jewellery?
Chains require especially careful cleaning, as dirt and residue can easily collect between the delicate links. Unlike smooth jewelry pieces such as rings or bangles, which can usually be wiped clean easily, necklaces need more thorough and gentle care. This is especially true for styles with many spaces between the links—such as bead chains or link chains—which lose their shine more quickly due to cosmetics, sweat, or dust. To preserve the natural shine of your chain for as long as possible, you can easily clean it yourself with our jewelry care set or use our professional ReFresh Service. Both methods provide a gentle, deep-cleaning treatment that makes your chain sparkle again without putting strain on the delicate material.
