Good to Know

• The pear-cut lab grown diamond offers the same hardness and sparkle as a mined stone.
• The 2 inch extender allows the 16 inch chain to be worn at more than one length.
• The lobster clasp offers a more secure closure than many alternative clasp styles.
• The 14K gold finish is plated over sterling silver rather than solid gold, so it will not have the same longevity as solid gold.
• Sterling silver will darken over time in air and needs occasional wiping to keep its shine.

Frequently Asked Questions

What metal is the necklace made from?

The necklace is built on a sterling silver base with a 14K gold plated finish over it. The plating gives it a gold tone while the underlying metal is 925 sterling silver, so it's plated rather than solid gold.

What stone does the necklace have, and how big is it?

The necklace holds one pear-cut lab grown diamond measuring 6 mm x 4 mm, with a total weight of 0.35 ct. It's a single stone set as the pendant's centerpiece.

How long is the chain and how does it fasten?

The necklace measures 16 inch with a 2 inch extender, giving some flexibility in how it sits. It fastens with a lobster clasp, which closes with a sprung lever for a secure hold.

How should I take care of the necklace?

The necklace is sterling silver at its core, so it will tarnish a little over time in air but wearing it regularly helps keep that from building up. A soft cloth, dry storage, and keeping it away from chlorine and perfume cover most of what it needs.

How to Care for Your 16 + 2 14 Karat Gold Plated Pear Lab Grown Diamond Necklace

1. Wipe the piece gently with a soft cloth to remove oils and restore shine.
2. Keep it away from chlorine, perfume, and other chemicals that can affect the plating and silver.
3. Store it dry and closed, ideally in the gift box, when not being worn.
4. Wear it regularly, since everyday wear helps slow the natural tarnishing of sterling silver.
5. Avoid rubbing the pear-shaped stone against hard surfaces to keep its facet edges sharp.
