Frequently Asked Questions

What metal is the pendant made from?

The pendant is made from 24K gold vermeil, meaning a layer of 24K gold plated over .925 sterling silver, rather than solid gold. The chain is also vermeil in yellow tone. This gives the warm yellow color of gold with a sterling silver base underneath.

How many diamonds does the piece have and what is their total weight?

The piece is set with 5 round diamonds in a prong setting, totaling 0.046 ct. They are natural, untreated stones graded I-J in color and I1-I2 in clarity, with a Good cut.

What length is the chain and how does it close?

The chain measures 18 inch and is a cable style made from the same yellow gold vermeil as the pendant. It closes with a spring ring clasp, a small sprung circle that keeps the design simple to fasten and unfasten.

How should I take care of this piece?

Since it is gold vermeil over sterling silver, a soft cloth wiped over it now and then keeps it bright, and wearing it regularly actually helps prevent tarnish from building up. Keep it away from chlorine and perfume, and store it dry and closed when not in use.
