Piccadilly Necklace

Taking inspiration from our 200 year old history, we have reimagined Samson Mordan’s original pencil necklace from the 1800s. The solid 925 sterling silver phial holds a graphite pencil, carefully enclosed within the screw top lid which is unwound to double its length creating a full sized writing instrument. 

The Piccadilly Necklace reflects the brand’s roots in sterling silver jewellery which Sampson Mordan is so revered for. The classically British silversmith, Sampson Mordan [1790 - 1834] created intricate designs, many with whimsical eccentricities. 

The YARD-O-LED story dates back to his invention of the first propelling pencil. Prior to this, he manufactured more simple designs with graphite pencils or mechanical pencils with a singular retractable leads. 

The Piccadilly Necklace is compact at 2 inches long and hung on a sterling silver chain. The sterling silver barrel is hallmarked and topped and tailed in a brass trim. Available in three designs - a hand-chased Rose or Victorian or Barley engine-turned pattern each come embellished with the gem in the cap in either pink, green or clear. It comes with 2 pencil refills.
