Tear Drop Dangle Pendant

Frequently Asked Questions

What metal is the pendant made from?

The pendant is built on a lead free brass alloy plated with rhodium, which gives it a bright white finish over the base metal. It is plated rather than solid, so the rhodium sits on the surface of the alloy.

How many stones are set in the pendant and what is their total weight?

The pave setting on the pendant holds roughly fifty round cubic zirconia stones, each about 1.3 mm, adding up to a total stone weight of 0.66 carats. They are set closely together so the surface reads as continuous sparkle rather than individual stones.

What length is the chain and how does the clasp work?

The pendant comes on an 18 inch chain with a 2 inch extender, allowing it to be worn at more than one length. It closes with a lobster clasp, which uses a sprung lever for a secure close.

How much does the pendant weigh?

The pendant weighs 4 oz, with its shape and structure coming from the lead free brass base beneath the rhodium plating.

How to Care for Your Tear Drop Dangle Pendant

1. Wipe the piece with a soft, dry cloth after wearing to remove oils and residue.
2. Store it away from other jewelry to prevent scratching the rhodium plating.
3. Avoid contact with perfume, lotion, and water to help preserve the plated finish.
4. Remove it before swimming, bathing, or exercising to limit wear on the plating.
5. Clean the cubic zirconia stones gently with a soft brush if buildup appears in the pave setting.
