Frequently Asked Questions

What is the necklace made from?

The piece is stainless steel finished with an 18K gold PVD coating, sometimes called gold plated. PVD is a bonding process that applies the gold-toned finish directly to the steel surface.

What lengths does the necklace come in?

It's available in three lengths - 14, 16 or 18 - so you can choose the fit you prefer. Each option uses the same 3mm herringbone chain and lobster clasp.

How do I clean and store the piece?

Wipe it dry after wear and keep it away from perfume, lotion and chlorine, since these can wear down the gold coating over time. Store it separately in a dry place to keep the finish looking its best.

What type of clasp does it use?

The piece fastens with a lobster clasp, which closes with a sprung lever. It's the more secure of the common clasp styles, though it takes a little dexterity to open and close.

How to Care for Your 18 Karat Gold PVD Stainless Steel 3mm Herringbone Necklace

1. Wipe the piece dry with a soft cloth after each wear to remove oils and moisture.
2. Keep it away from perfume, lotion and chlorine, since these can wear down the gold coating.
3. Store it flat or hanging separately from other jewelry to avoid scratching the surface.
4. Remove it before swimming or bathing to protect the finish.
5. Clean it gently with a soft, non-abrasive cloth rather than harsh chemicals.
