Questions about this piece

What lengths are available?

16 in or 18 in. 16 in: sits at the base of the neck. 18 in: falls at the collarbone, the most common pendant length.

Is the gold color permanent?

Plated, vermeil, and gold-filled finishes are layers over another metal. Gold-filled layers are thick and last for years; plating is thinner and wears gradually with friction, lotion, and chlorine.

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 is hard on the gold-filled layer 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 (3.5 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.

How fast will it arrive?

In-stock options typically leave within one to five business days after payment is captured. Insured ground shipping is free; next-day and Saturday upgrades are offered at checkout.

Can I return it?

Yes. Unworn pieces in original condition can be returned within 7 days of delivery for a refund to the original payment method.
