Questions about this piece

How long is the chain?

The chain is 16-18 in long. It sits at the base of the neck.

Are the diamonds lab-grown?

Yes. They are laboratory-grown diamonds, chemically and optically diamond, and labeled as lab-grown on the receipt.

What does CTW mean?

CTW is total carat weight: the combined weight of every diamond in the piece. One carat is 0.2 grams.

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.

Can I wear it in the shower or pool?
