Materials
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!

14k Solid Gold
Ease of care: 5/5

A low maintenance, fine jewelry favorite that will last forever. It’s pure gold mixed with other alloys to make it more durable & give it a beautiful hue.

Vermeil (ver - may)
Ease of care: 5/5

More premium than traditional gold plating, vermeil is an extra thick layer of real gold over solid sterling silver. We use 14k or 18k gold depending on the piece.

Sizing Guide
  1. Find a tool to use (string, dental floss, headphone cord, measuring tape if you have it).
  2. 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).
  3. 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).

    Everything I have ordered is amazing!

    I ordered a variety of pieces, and I must say, I absolutely love them! I wear them daily, and even with frequent exposure to the pool and the sea, their colors remain vibrant.

    My necklaces and bracelets, each adorned with personal messages, are particularly special to me. Additionally, the packaging is beautifully done, adding a lovely touch to the overall experience especially when you want to give it away as a gift.

    Amazing Quality ✨

    The perfect piece of everyday jewelry with my daughter’s initial. Spent a long time searching for a special necklace to wear after she was born and so thankful I came across GLDN.
