Materials

14k Gold Filled

Ease of care: 4/5

A practical balance between cost and quality, our gold-filled pieces have a thick layer of 14k gold, heat and pressure bonded to a high-quality brass core. They contain much more real gold than regular gold-plating.

Sterling Silver

Ease of care: 4/5

Solid, precious metal that lasts forever. It darkens with time, but can be polished up. Oils from your skin help prevent silver tarnish... so wear it often!

Sizing Guide

Find a tool to use (string, dental floss, headphone cord, measuring tape if you have it).
Find the length by wrapping it around your neck and marking it (for pendants, imagine the jewelry lower, for suspended, it should be in line).
Check the length against a ruler or lay it out flat and measure with a phone app.

Alternatively: Measure an existing necklace end to end with a ruler (most accurate) or a phone app (great if you don’t have a ruler handy).

Love this gold vermeil necklace!
It is so understated, which is exactly what I wanted. Plus it looks like true gold which it is supposed to look like! Wearing it daily, even showered in it. Just made another GLDN purchase!

Lovely
Such a lovely delicate chain. Perfect length also. My only complaint is that it’s hard to slide a charm over the end. I had to use a jewelry tool ands managed to manipulate it enough to get it to work.
