Questions about this piece

How long is the chain?

The chain is 18 in long. It falls at the collarbone, the most common pendant length.

Are the diamonds natural or lab-grown?

This style is offered with both. The stone type is shown on each option, and the receipt states it.

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 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, chlorine in pools and hot tubs can weaken karat gold alloys over time, and soap and lotion film dulls diamonds. If it gets wet, rinse in clean water and pat dry.
