Many of the Ice Skating Jewellery blade necklaces come in different sizes—from the delicate Mini to the bold Extra Large. So how do you choose the right one?

This guide will help. It’s especially useful if you’re buying a gift or choosing a piece to match an age, outfit, or occasion. With five blade sizes available, it’s easy to find one that fits—whether it’s for a young skater, a proud skating parent, or something special for yourself.

Each blade charm necklace is handcrafted in sterling silver or gold vermeil. Many designs can be engraved or customised with hearts, stars, or discs with names or mottos.

Please remember: we are all different. If possible, measure a charm the wearer already loves and compare it to the sizes listed. I’m happy to suggest options based on the details you give me—but you’ll have the best idea of what will suit you or your recipient.

Not Sure What to Choose?

What If It’s a Gift?

If you’re choosing for someone else, here’s a good starting point:

• Under 12? Mini or Small blade on a 14/16" or 16" chain
• Teen or adult? Small or Medium blade on an 18" chain — a classic, go-with-everything option
• Need flexibility? I can add an extra link at 16" so the necklace can be worn at two lengths

A Note on Personalisation

Most of the ice skate blade necklaces can be engraved with a name, initials, or a short motto. Each product page includes details on the maximum number of characters that can be added to the blade or accompanying charms.

If you have any questions—or need help choosing the right size—just get in touch. I love helping skaters (and skating fans) find the perfect piece.
