SILVER DOG TAG PENDANT

Gather round, my fellow magpies and secret history nerds, because today I’m presenting you with something that straddles the line between badass military heritage and deliciously modern minimalism: my hand-crafted Sterling Silver military dog tag pendant, made entirely here in the UK. Yes—actual British silversmith hands have caressed this into existence. No overseas mystery metals. No dubious plating. Just pure, honest Silver doing its shiny little best.

This beauty measures 35x20mm, which is the perfect size for looking effortlessly cool without accidentally signalling you’re about to lead a battalion into battle. It’s sleek, striking, and somehow manages to whisper, “I’m mysterious, but also have excellent taste.” The chain is sold separately (because we all love options), and I’ve popped a recommended one in the listing so your life is easier and more sparkly.

Now, because I too like to know the story behind my jewellery—preferably one involving Romans, rebellions, and the occasional catastrophe—let’s dig in.

Dog tags have been around longer than your favourite conspiracy theory. The Spartans tied sticks with their names to their wrists (very rustic chic). Roman legionnaires got lead discs called signaculum, worn around the neck—basically the original “if found, return to legion HQ.”

Fast-forward to 19th-century China, where wooden tags were worn during the Taiping Rebellion. Meanwhile, over in the American Civil War, soldiers were pinning handwritten notes to their jackets like students who had forgotten their homework. By 1907, the British Army finally joined in properly with aluminium discs stamped one letter at a time. No pressure, but this pendant has legacy.

This Sterling Silver dog tag, though? It’s not for war. It’s for looking epic.
It’s for gifting.
It’s for wearing with literally anything—from your leather jacket to your “I swear I’m not going out-out” hoodie.
It’s your new signature accessory.
