Shell Rowe | Saint Christopher Necklace
I chose this design because it’s such a beautiful, cool necklace - and with my medical history, a little extra protection and strength from Saint Christopher couldn’t hurt.
I was diagnosed with Stage 4 Non-Hodgkin lymphoma at 20 and faced three further diagnoses by the age of 23. I’m now four and a half years into remission.
Shell wears the 20" Saint Christopher in Sterling Silver
The Necklace
The Saint Christopher has a simple, understated look that makes it an easy piece to wear and an equally easy one to give.
Set on an 18" or 20" belcher chain in eco sterling silver or 18ct gold-plated sterling silver, it can sit closer to the neckline or a little lower for a more relaxed feel. Worn alone, it feels clean and classic; layered with other chains, it takes on a more individual look.
It’s one of those designs that works naturally for both men and women, whether chosen for the meaning behind Saint Christopher or simply for the strength and simplicity of the pendant. The 20" chain offers a slightly longer, relaxed fit that works especially well for men.

We want your jewellery to stay in great condition so you can enjoy it for years to come. With some simple steps you can help prolong the life of your pieces. Remove your jewellery daily, put it on as the last step when getting ready and the first thing you take off at the end of the day. Avoid spraying with perfume and contact with creams and lotions and do not wear in water. When not being worn jewellery can be prone to tarnishing if kept in an open atmosphere, so if you are not likely to wear for sometime, the best way to store is in a sealed bag. But if wearing regularly keep stored in our jewellery pouch or box.Read More

LOUISE (NELLOU FOUNDER)
Our connection to Blood Cancer
The stories behind this edit are all different, but we’re all connected by blood cancer in some way. Each story is personal, and each chosen piece reflects something different about the person behind it.
A diagnosis of Hodgkin lymphoma in my early 30s was definitely not in my life plan, nor was the impact of treatment and the long recovery after transplant. Since then, Blood Cancer UK has remained an important part of my life through fundraising, campaigning and raising awareness.
Nellou came years later, but that experience has inevitably become part of the brand’s story too. Jewellery can feel personal for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes a piece simply speaks to you, and that idea sits at the heart of this edit.
To mark Blood Cancer Awareness Month this September, we invited four people with their own personal connection to blood cancer to choose the Nellou piece they were most naturally drawn to, and to share a little of their story and what made that particular design stand out to them.
Throughout September, we’ll donate 25% of every sale of their chosen designs to Blood Cancer UK, helping turn each purchase from the edit into support for the charity and the work it does for people affected by blood cancer.
