Butterfly Pendant Copper 14K Gold-Plated Necklace | Sky Blue / One Size 100100904957145

How to Measure

Use these quick steps to choose the right fit and understand the scale of the Butterfly Pendant Copper 14K Gold‑Plated Necklace.

• Chain length
  • Wrap a soft measuring tape (or a string you measure afterward) around your neck where you want the necklace to sit.
  • Common lengths and where they land for most adults:
    • 14 in (35.5 cm): high on the neck (choker).
    • 16 in (40.6 cm): base of neck/collarbone.
    • 18 in (45.7 cm): collarbone to upper chest (most popular everyday length).
    • 20–22 in (50.8–55.9 cm): below the collarbone.
  • If the necklace includes an extender, add the extender length to the base length to see the full range.
• Pendant size (butterfly)
  • Width: measure the wingspan from the widest left point to the widest right point.
  • Height: measure from the top of the bail/loop to the bottom tip of the pendant.
  • Thickness: measure the thickest point of the pendant for depth.
  • Bail opening: measure the inner height/width of the bail if you plan to swap chains.
• Chain thickness
  • Measure with a millimeter ruler or caliper. Typical delicate chains are about 1–2 mm.
  • Thicker chains feel sturdier and show more, thinner chains look daintier and layer easily.
• Quick tip
  • To visualize size, compare the pendant measurements to a coin or use a ruler on your screen.
  • Minor measurement variations (±1–3 mm) can occur due to finishing and hand measurement.

Materials & Craft

• Base metal: Copper. Chosen for its smooth finish and workable strength.
• Plating: 14K gold plating. 14K gold is an alloy that is approximately 58.5% pure gold, providing a warm, classic gold tone with added durability.
• Finish: Polished gold‑tone surface designed to reflect light and enhance the butterfly silhouette.
• What it is not: This piece is not solid gold, and it is not gold vermeil (vermeil requires a sterling silver base).
• Wear & longevity: As with all plated jewelry, the gold layer can gradually wear with friction, chemicals, or water exposure. Caring for it properly (see Care Guide) helps keep the finish brilliant longer.
• Allergy note: If you are highly sensitive to metals (especially copper or nickel), consider using a jewelry barrier product on the areas touching skin and avoid moisture/lotions. For severe allergies, solid gold may be preferable.

Model Information & Fit Guide

If product photos show a model, use this as a scale reference. Fit varies with neck circumference and body proportions.

• Chain length worn in photos: refer to the size/length shown in the image details or dropdown (commonly 16–18 in for scale shots).
• How to match the model’s look:
  • Measure your neck at the base and add 2–4 in (5–10 cm) for a similar drape.
  • Choose 16 in for a higher, collarbone‑skimming look; 18 in for everyday; 20+ in for a longer, layered feel.
• Pendant scale on body:
  • Smaller butterflies read delicate and minimal; wider wingspans feel more statement‑like.
  • Shorter chains make the pendant appear slightly larger; longer chains make it appear daintier.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Last on, first off: put the necklace on after makeup, perfume, hairspray, and sunscreen; remove it before undressing.
• Keep it dry: remove before showering, swimming, exercising, or sleeping to reduce moisture and friction wear.
• Avoid chemicals: keep away from perfumes, lotions, oils, sanitizers, and household cleaners.
• Wipe after wear: gently polish with a soft, dry, lint‑free cloth to remove oils and sweat.
• Store smart: keep in a soft pouch or separate compartment, ideally in an airtight bag to minimize humidity and tangling.
• Gentle cleaning: if needed, dip a soft cloth in lukewarm water with a tiny drop of mild dish soap, wipe the metal only, then dry thoroughly. Do not soak. Avoid abrasive cloths and chemical dips.
• Protect the plating: minimize friction from layered pieces rubbing together; rotate wear if you layer often.
• Long‑term care: if the gold tone softens with time, a local jeweler can professionally re‑plate.

Style Tips

• Everyday delicate: wear solo on a 16–18 in chain for a sweet, minimal touch.
• Layered look: stack with a shorter choker and a longer 20–22 in chain. Stagger by ~2 in between layers for a clean cascade.
• Mix textures: pair with a simple cable or box chain for contrast, or add a slim curb chain for subtle edge.
• Necklines: V‑necks and scoop necks showcase the butterfly; higher necklines pair well with shorter lengths.
• Match the mood: butterfly motifs complement romantic, whimsical, and nature‑inspired outfits; they also soften tailored looks.
• Gift‑ready: symbolic of transformation and hope, it’s a meaningful piece for milestones and celebrations.
