Good to Know

• The bezel setting wraps and protects the edge of the 9 mm lab grown emerald.
• The channel-set baguette diamonds total 0.63 ct with no prongs to catch on clothing.
• The 18 inch cable chain and spring ring clasp keep the design easy to fasten.
• 14K Gold plating wears gradually with use and will eventually need attention as it thins.

Frequently Asked Questions

What metal is the pendant made from?

The pendant and its bail are 14K yellow gold plated over .925 sterling silver, with the chain made of the same gold plated sterling silver. The plating gives the piece its warm gold color over a silver base rather than being solid gold throughout.

What is the center stone and how is it set?

The center stone is a 9 mm lab grown emerald, round in shape, weighing 2.44 carats total weight and set in a bezel that wraps a rim of metal around its edge for added protection. It carries no heat treatment and is rated AAA+ in clarity.

How long is the chain and how does it close?

The chain measures 18 inches long, is a cable style, and fastens with a spring ring clasp, a small sprung circle commonly used on fine chains. Chain thickness is 0.66.

How should the piece be cared for?

Because it is gold plated, keep it away from perfume, lotion and chlorine, and wipe it dry after wear to help the plating last. The sterling silver base also benefits from a soft cloth pass now and then and dry, closed storage between wears.

How to Care for Your 14K Yellow Gold Plated Sterling Silver Lab Grown Emerald and Baguette Diamond Sunburst Medallion Pendant Necklace

1. Wipe the piece with a soft cloth after wearing to remove oils and keep the plating bright.
2. Keep it away from perfume, lotion and chlorine, which can wear down the 14K gold plating faster.
3. Store it dry and closed in a pouch or box to slow tarnishing of the sterling silver base.
4. Remove it before swimming, bathing or exercising to protect both the plating and the setting.
5. Polish gently with a soft cloth if the silver base begins to darken with time.
