Jewellery Care Guide

Sterling Silver: Gently polish with a soft jewellery cloth to maintain shine. Silver Care Guide →

Solid Gold (9ct, 14ct, 18ct): Solid gold will not tarnish or peel, but it can gather oils and dust. Soak in warm water with a drop of mild dish soap, then gently scrub with a soft toothbrush to restore its brilliance.

18ct Gold Plate: Avoid water, perfumes, and lotions to preserve the gold layer. Gold Plate Care Guide →

Bronze: Over time, bronze develops a unique vintage patina. Polish to restore brightness or leave to age naturally. Bronze Care Guide →

Gemstones: Clean with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners.

Abstract 🖤 Irregular forms and sculptural edges — jewellery that bends the rules

Mini Chomp is a handcrafted sterling silver fish pendant with a detachable 7mm jump ring, designed as a playful unisex charm for everyday wear. Choose a fine 45cm round cable link chain or a heavier 50cm diamond-cut curb chain, or move the charm onto a compatible chain of your own.

A little fish with plenty of attitude.

Mini Chomp is not your sweet little seaside charm. With an angular body, oversized jaw and slightly menacing expression, this small sterling silver fish was made for people who like their jewellery with a bit more personality.

Handcrafted in sterling silver, each Mini Chomp keeps the irregular marks and surface texture of the making process. No two will be completely identical.

Choose between two very different sterling silver chains: a finer 45cm cable link for an understated everyday pendant, or a heavier 50cm diamond-cut curb chain that gives Mini Chomp a bolder, more substantial feel.

And because the charm is detachable, you aren't committed to either. Mini Chomp can move between chains depending on what you're wearing.

Playful charms are having a moment for summer, but this one isn't particularly interested in being cute.

One Charm. Plenty of Chains.

Mini Chomp features a 7mm jump ring, making it easy to unthread the charm and style it across your own chain collection.

Wear it fine one day and chunky the next. Add it to a chain you already own, mix it into a necklace stack, or let the fish hang out on its own.

That versatility is very much part of the design.

Style & Inspiration

Keep it simple
Wear Mini Chomp on the fine 45cm cable chain with a T-shirt, shirt or knit. Small enough for everyday, but definitely not anonymous.

Give it some weight
The 50cm diamond-cut curb chain changes the character completely. Chunkier, more graphic and particularly good if you prefer jewellery with a stronger presence.

Layer it
Mix Mini Chomp with chains of different lengths and link styles rather than trying to make everything match.

Make it yours
Because the charm is detachable, Mini Chomp can migrate onto chains already in your jewellery box.

There isn't really a men's version or a women's version. It's a fish. Wear it however you like.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Mini Chomp charm removable?
Yes. Mini Chomp is attached with a 7mm jump ring, so you can unthread the charm and wear it on another compatible chain.

Can I wear Mini Chomp on a chain I already own?
Absolutely. As long as the end fitting of your chain will pass through the 7mm jump ring, you can move Mini Chomp between chains.

What's the difference between the two chains?
The 45cm cable chain is finer and lighter, giving you a more understated pendant. The 50cm diamond-cut curb chain is wider, heavier and more substantial, giving Mini Chomp a distinctly bolder look.

Is Mini Chomp suitable for men and women?
Yes. Mini Chomp was deliberately designed as a unisex charm. The choice of chain lets you take the styling from fine and minimal through to heavier and more graphic.

Will my Mini Chomp look exactly like the photograph?
Not quite. Each fish is individually finished by hand, so small variations in surface texture and form are part of the piece.

Is it solid sterling silver?
Yes. Both Mini Chomp and the chain options are sterling silver.
