Yard-O-Led Piccadilly Arcade Pencil Necklace

The Yard-O-Led Piccadilly Arcade Pencil Necklace is a refined expression of British silversmithing and mechanical ingenuity, inspired by Sampson Mordan’s original pencil necklaces of the 19th century. Crafted in sterling silver, the compact phial conceals a graphite pencil within a finely engineered screw-top mechanism. When unwound, it extends to form a full-sized writing instrument—an elegant transformation that speaks to Yard-O-Led’s inventive heritage.

Finished with the Arcade pattern, celebrating Yard-O-Led's first store in Piccadilly Arcade, the sterling silver barrel is engraved with a design inspired by the store and that also reflects the brand’s roots. A clear stone set into the cap adds a subtle point of light, while brass trim at either end provides a warm contrast. Worn on a sterling silver chain, the Piccadilly Arcade Necklace is both a functional pencil and a quietly distinctive piece of wearable design.
