Questions about this piece

What lengths are available?

7 in to 24 in (5 choices). 7 in: a typical bracelet or anklet length. 16 in: sits at the base of the neck. 18 in: falls at the collarbone, the most common pendant length.

Is it solid gold?

Yes. Karat gold options are gold alloy all the way through, not plated or filled.

Will gold tarnish?

Karat gold does not rust, and in normal wear it does not tarnish. Lotion and soap film can dull it; warm water, a drop of mild dish soap, and a soft brush bring the shine back.

Is sterling silver real silver?

Yes. Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver, alloyed with a small amount of other metal for strength.

Will sterling silver tarnish?

Yes, slowly, with air and skin contact. Store it in a closed pouch and polish it with a silver cloth. Rhodium-plated silver resists tarnish until the plating wears.

Will white gold turn yellow?

The rhodium plating on white gold wears slowly with daily use and can reveal a warmer tone underneath. A jeweler can re-plate it quickly, usually every one to three years.

Can I wear it in the shower or pool?

Take it off to swim, bathe, or use a hot tub: chlorine and salt water speed tarnish on sterling silver and chlorine in pools and hot tubs can weaken karat gold alloys over time. If it gets wet, rinse in clean water and pat dry.

Will a pendant fit on it?

It will if the pendant's bail, the loop the chain passes through, is wider than the chain (1.5 mm on this style) and the clasp end can pass through it. An enhancer bail, which opens and clips on, gets around a tight fit.
