The caduceus has marked medicine for generations, two serpents winding up a winged staff. This one is cut clean, so it reads clearly at a glance and sits comfortably under a uniform. It makes a fitting gift for a nurse, a doctor, a paramedic or a medical student, whether for qualifying, a first day on a new ward, or simply to mark years of work that rarely gets thanked properly. The pendant is 925 sterling silver, hypoallergenic and easy to wear on long shifts. It arrives in our suede gift pouch, ready to give.
Please choose your finish and chain length at checkout.
Finish options: Sterling Silver, a bright polished finish along the staff and wings, which keeps the serpent detail clear. Gold, 18ct gold plated over 925 sterling silver, for a warmer tone that suits gold jewellery already in the collection.
Chain length options: 14 inches, sits high on the neck, best suited to children and petite frames. 16 inches, sits at the base of the neck, a classic choker length. 18 inches, our most popular length, sits just below the collarbone and works with most necklines. 20 inches, sits on the chest, ideal for layering or wearing over knitwear. 22 inches, a longer drop that sits lower on the chest.
The design is unisex and the pendant has a longer drop, so 18 inches or above lets the full symbol sit clear of the neckline. If it will be worn at work, a shorter length sits more securely under a uniform collar.
Every order arrives in a Potiega suede gift pouch as standard. If you would like it presented in our white gift box with a gift card, please tick the gift box option at checkout for a small additional charge.
