Care & Maintenance
- Clean gently with mild soap and a soft brush/cloth; rinse and dry thoroughly
- Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaning for sensitive stones (pearls, turquoise, MOP)
- Store pendants separately in soft pouches to prevent cable-to-gem friction and micro-scratches
- Attach enhancers carefully; avoid bending bales or forcing over-thick chains
FAQ
What’s the difference between a pendant and an enhancer?
An enhancer has an opening bale/clip so it can attach to thicker chains, cable collars, or pearls; a standard pendant slides over a chain.
How do I choose the right chain length?
For daily wear, 16–18" sits near the collarbone; 20–24" layers over tops; 30"+ creates a long, elongating line.
Can I mix metals with my pendant and chain?
Yes—two-tone pendants bridge silver and gold, making mixed-metal stacks look intentional.
