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 makes Maren's necklaces sustainable?
At Maren Jewellery, we follow a conscious, holistic approach, that goes far beyond simply choosing materials when making our jewellery. At Maren Jewellery, we take a conscious and transparent approach to materials and production. Our necklaces are made from recycled gold or recycled sterling silver and are available with lab-grown diamonds. We focus on existing precious metals and want to promote the reuse of existing materials. We work with selected partners, and make many of our pieces to order, allowing us to align production with actual demand. We also pay attention to a thoughtful selection of the materials used in our packaging. For calculated residual emissions, we support certified climate protection projects. You can learn more about the calculation and how we handle emissions in our sustainability report. As a B Corp™ and RJC-certified company, we have our business and supply chain standards reviewed independently on a regular basis. Even after purchase, we want to accompany the lifecycle of our jewellery pieces for as long as possible: many of our necklaces can be repaired, refinished, or passed on. This is how we combine sustainable necklaces with concrete decisions around materials, production, and the future life of our jewellery pieces.
How do I find the right chain length?
The perfect length of your necklace depends on your preferences. A well-fitting necklace not only accentuates your silhouette, but also adds a special touch of elegance to your look. Short, finely crafted necklaces (42 cm) shimmer right at the collarbone and look especially refined and feminine. Mid-length necklaces (50 cm) are stylish all-rounders that fit effortlessly into any modern or classic look. Long necklaces (60 cm) give your outfit a luxurious, gently elongating line and pair exquisitely with high-quality blouses or fine knitwear.
How do I best care for sustainable necklaces?
Necklaces require especially careful cleaning, as dirt and residue can easily collect between the delicate links. Unlike smooth pieces of jewellery such as rings or bangles, which can usually be wiped clean easily, necklaces require more thorough and gentle care. This is especially true for styles with many gaps—such as bead chains or chain-link necklaces—which lose their shine more quickly due to cosmetics, sweat, or dust. To preserve the natural shine of your necklace in the long term, you can easily clean it yourself with our jewellery care set or use our professional ReFresh Service. Both methods provide a gentle, deep-cleaning result that brings back your necklace’s sparkle without stressing the delicate material.
