How to find your perfect spinning necklace
Spinning necklaces have a quiet magic to them.
They move gently with you, invite touch, and often become something you reach for without thinking - especially in moments when you need grounding or calm.
I started making spinning necklaces because I noticed how often people reach for jewellery in moments when they need reassurance, focus, or a sense of steadiness. Over the years, I’ve seen that people don’t choose a spinning necklace just because of how it looks. They choose it because of how it feels when they wear it.
So if you’re wondering which spinning necklace might be right for you, here’s a simple way to find out.
1. Start with how you want it to feel
Before thinking about anything practical, ask yourself one question:
What do I want this necklace to give me?
Some people are drawn to spinning necklaces because the movement helps with anxiety or restlessness. Others love them as a reminder to slow down, breathe, or stay present.
If you’re looking for something calming, you might be drawn to a softer, gentler spin.
If you like something more tactile and grounding, a slightly heavier spinner can feel reassuring in your hands.
There’s no right or wrong here - just notice what you’re craving.
2. Gold or silver — be honest with yourself
This isn’t about trends. It’s about what you naturally reach for.
Silver often feels easy and everyday. It suits people who want a spinning necklace they can wear without thinking, layer effortlessly, and live in.
Gold often feels warmer and more intentional - many of my clients choose it when they want a piece that becomes part of them, not just something they wear. A gold spinning necklace often becomes a long-term companion, worn daily and grown into over time.
If you’re unsure, look at what’s already in your jewellery box. That usually tells the truth.
3. Size matters more than you think
Some people love a delicate spinning necklace that sits quietly against the skin. Others feel more connected to a pendant they can really feel between their fingers.
Smaller spinning necklaces feel subtle and intimate.
Larger spinning necklaces feel grounding and present - especially if you like to use the movement as a tactile anchor during the day.
If you tend to touch your jewellery often, you may prefer something with a bit more weight.
4. Think about how you’ll wear it
Ask yourself honestly:
-
Will I wear this every day?
-
Do I want to sleep in it?
-
Do I want it to sit low or closer to my neck?
If you want an everyday companion, choose something that feels comfortable and balanced, not something you’ll save “for best”. A spinning necklace is at its best when it becomes part of your routine.
5. Let it choose you
This might sound simple, but it’s true.
People often tell me they kept coming back to the same spinning necklace - checking it again and again. That’s usually the one. When a piece already feels familiar before you own it, it’s doing its job.
Final thought
A spinning necklace isn’t just jewellery. It’s something you live with. It moves with you, absorbs your days, and becomes part of your rhythm.
Over time, it often becomes quieter, softer, and more meaningful - because it carries your days with it.
If you’re choosing one, choose the piece that feels comforting, not impressive. The one that feels like yours.
