18K Gold-Plated Round Shape Pendant Necklace | 101300770702462

How to Measure

• Chain length: Wrap a soft measuring tape around the base of your neck where you want the chain to sit. Add 2–3 cm (about 1 in) for a relaxed fit. Common lengths: 40 cm (16 in) at the base of the neck, 45 cm (18 in) just below the collarbone, 50 cm (20 in) upper chest.
• Pendant diameter: For a round pendant, measure straight across the center from edge to edge. Small 10–12 mm, classic coin-like 16–18 mm, statement 20–22 mm.
• Pendant drop (height): Measure from the top of the bail (the loop) to the bottom of the pendant; this tells you how far it elongates the look.
• Bail opening: Check the inner height × width of the bail to ensure your preferred chain can pass through. Most standard chains up to 2 mm thickness fit typical bails.
• Layering spacing: For stacked looks, keep at least 5 cm (2 in) between chain lengths to prevent tangling and to highlight the pendant.

Tip: No tape? Use a string to test length, mark it, then measure against a ruler.

Materials & Craft

This 18K Gold-Plated Round Shape Pendant Necklace features a lustrous gold finish over a durable metal core, giving you the warmth of 18K gold with everyday wearability.

Plating

18K gold plating for a balanced, warm tone. The “18K” refers to the purity of the gold in the plating alloy (75% pure gold), not the thickness of the layer.

Core (base metal)

Gold-plated jewelry typically uses stainless steel or brass as the base for strength and shape retention. The gold layer is bonded to this core using electroplating or PVD techniques.

Finish

High-polish surface for a mirror-like shine on the round pendant.

Closure

Secure clasp (commonly lobster or spring ring); many chains include a small extender for adjustable length.

Note: Gold-plated pieces differ from solid gold and from vermeil (which uses sterling silver as the base with a thicker gold layer). Plating may gradually wear on high-friction areas over time; proper care extends its life.

Model Fit Notes

• On-body reference (if shown in images): styled around 45 cm (18 in), which typically rests just below the collarbone.
• To mirror that fit: measure your neck circumference and add 5–7 cm (2–3 in) for a comfortable drape.
• Prefer a closer fit: choose 35–40 cm (14–16 in). For more drop or layering, consider 50–55 cm (20–22 in).

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Last on, first off: put the necklace on after skincare, perfume, and hairspray; remove it before changing clothes to avoid snags.
• Keep dry: remove before showering, swimming, or exercising. Moisture and sweat can dull plating.
• Daily wipe: after each wear, gently buff with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove oils.
• Clean sparingly: if needed, use lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap for a quick rinse, then pat completely dry. Avoid abrasive polishes, chemical cleaners, and ultrasonic machines.
• Store safely: keep in a pouch or box, ideally in an airtight bag with an anti-tarnish strip. Separate from other pieces to prevent scratches.
• Avoid harsh chemicals: chlorine, household cleaners, and hand sanitizers can wear plating more quickly.

Style Tips

• Everyday minimal: wear solo at 45 cm (18 in) with tees, knits, and button-downs for a clean, polished touch.
• Layered look: pair with a 38–40 cm (15–16 in) choker above and a 50–55 cm (20–22 in) chain below; aim for ~5 cm (2 in) between lengths.
• Necklines: 45 cm (18 in) complements crew and boat necks; 50 cm (20 in) flatters V-necks and wrap dresses.
• Mix and match: the warm 18K tone plays well with silver and rose-gold pieces for a modern mixed-metal stack.
• Gifting made easy: the classic round pendant is timeless and suits casual to dressy looks.
