Frequently Asked Questions

What metal is the pendant made from?

The pendant is crafted in 24K gold vermeil, meaning a layer of gold is plated over a .925 sterling silver base rather than solid gold throughout. The chain is also vermeil in a matching yellow tone.

What diamond does the piece feature, and how is it set?

The piece holds a single round natural diamond with a total weight of 0.02 ct, in color I-J and clarity SI2-I1. It is held in a prong setting, which grips the stone at a few points and leaves the rest open to light.

How long is the chain and how does it close?

The chain measures 18 inch and is a cable style chain, finished with a spring ring clasp. That clasp is a small sprung circle, kept light and unobtrusive on the fine chain.

How should the piece be cared for over time?

It is sterling silver underneath its 24K gold vermeil plating, so a soft cloth pass now and then, kept away from chlorine and perfume, along with dry closed storage, covers most of what it needs.

How to Care for Your Gold Vermeil Diamond Accent Bow Tie Pendant Necklace

1. Wipe the piece with a soft cloth after wear to keep the plated surface bright.
2. Keep it away from chlorine and perfume to protect the sterling silver base underneath the plating.
3. Store it dry and closed when not in use to slow tarnishing.
4. Avoid rubbing or polishing the plated surface harshly to protect the 24K gold vermeil layer.
