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!

14k Rose Gold Filled
Ease of care: 3/5

Extremely similar to yellow gold-filled, rose gold has a bit of copper added to the alloy to give it a rosy hue.

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).

    Friendship necklace

    I was so happy when I received this necklace as I got the two beads for my children. It was beautiful and could be worn alone or paired up with another necklace for layers. Beautiful piece :)

    So cute

    I got this as a gift for someone and it is really cute. GLDN does not disappoint! I love the daintiness and sparkliness of the chain and the beads are a nice simple accent.
