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!

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.

Want even more details about materials? Check this out.

  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).

    Gemstone Frame Initial Pendant Review

    I really love the Gemstone Frame Initial Pendant, I like the delicacy of the small gemstones, they look really pretty framing the Initial. If I had two small suggestions that could have made me like it slightly better would be: First it would be nice to be able to select some sort of color scheme for the gemstones. I was ordering this as keep sake to remind me of my son - the gemstones in the necklace I received are mostly more traditional girly colors and I was thinking it would be nice it I was able to select more blues/greens/browns or other more traditionally boy colors when ordering. I was aware that the colors would be random so I am not super upset I just thought it would be nice to be able to select. The second thing that would be nice would be to have more selections for the chain the pendant come on. I prefer a flat chain for my necklaces so I will probably end up just getting one to put the pendant on.

    Pretty but subtle

    The colored gemstones are much more subtle and difficult to distinguish from the others. I’m disappointed with how pale the stones are compared to the photos. It’s pretty, but not what I expected. I do t think it’s worth the price.

    Disappointing

    After just 5 weeks of wear, the chain has broken. The quality is not on par with the price of this product. Very disappointing.

    Rips your hair out

    The necklace is cute and the gold material seems to be holding up well. However, the chain is constantly ripping my hair out. It is covered in my hair, and it is almost impossible to take it all out without tangling or damaging the chain.
