1. A Beautiful Ice Skating Necklace – A Personal Essential

“For me, wearing something that reminds me of skating even off the ice is really special. I always wear a gold skate necklace with a few meaningful charms – from places I’ve skated at to little messages that inspire me every day.”
– Kristen Spours

This isn’t just any necklace – it’s Kristen’s own bespoke piece, worn every day as a reminder of her skating journey. Her gold ice skating necklace features engraved blades, initials and tokens from competitions around the world.

You can create your own personal keepsake with gold or silver blades, engraved messages and meaningful charms. Add names, dates or a favourite motto to create a necklace that tells your skating story.
