Copper Bow Shape Pendant Necklace | Gold / One Size 100500169861806

How to Measure

1. Chain length
   • Use a soft measuring tape (or a string and ruler). Wrap around the base of your neck where the necklace will sit. Add:
     • +2 in (≈5 cm) for a relaxed collarbone fit
     • +4 in (≈10 cm) for a lower “princess” length
   • If measuring an existing necklace, lay it flat and measure end-to-end including clasp and any extender.
2. Pendant size
   • Height: from the top of the bail/loop to the lowest ribbon tip of the bow.
   • Width: the widest point from left to right.
   • Depth: the thickest point at the bow’s center knot.
   • Bail opening: measure inside height and width to ensure your preferred chain fits.
3. Drop length (where it sits on the chest)
   • Approximate drop = half the chain length + pendant height.
   • Try on with string cut to the total length to preview where the bow lands.
4. Helpful references
   • Choker: 14 in (35.5 cm)
   • Collarbone: 16 in (40.5 cm)
   • Princess: 18 in (45.5 cm)
   • Matinee: 20–22 in (51–56 cm)

Materials

Base metal: Copper. Copper offers a warm, rosy-gold tone and is loved for its durability and timeless look.

• Feel & finish: Smooth, comfortable for daily wear; the bow shape adds a playful, feminine touch.
• Patina: Copper naturally oxidizes over time, developing a darker patina. This is normal and can be polished back to brightness.
• Skin reaction: Copper may leave a temporary greenish tint on skin for some wearers due to oxidation; it’s harmless and washes off with soap and water.
• Protective coatings: Some copper jewelry is lacquered or lightly plated to slow tarnish. Treat coated pieces gently and avoid abrasives.
• Sustainability: Copper is highly recyclable and long-lasting when cared for properly.

Model & Fit Guide

• Where it sits: On most necks, a 16–18 in (40.5–45.5 cm) chain positions the bow near the collarbone.
• Choosing your length:
  • Measure your neck circumference and add about 2 in (5 cm) for a classic collarbone fit.
  • Prefer a lower drop or higher necklines? Try 18–20 in (45.5–51 cm).
• Scale guide:
  • Subtle look: smaller bow pendants (under ~20 mm height)
  • Everyday focal point: medium (~20–30 mm)
  • Statement: larger than ~30 mm
• Layering: Pair at 16–18 in with a shorter choker (14 in) or a longer chain (20–22 in) to create dimension without crowding the bow.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• After each wear: Wipe with a soft, dry, non-abrasive cloth to remove skin oils and moisture.
• Keep dry: Remove before showering, swimming, or exercising. Avoid perfumes, lotions, hairspray, and household cleaners.
• Storage: Store in an airtight pouch or box with an anti-tarnish strip. Keep pieces separate to prevent scratches.
• Cleaning copper:
  • Mild clean: Warm water + a drop of gentle soap. Rinse and dry thoroughly.
  • For raw copper tarnish: Brief dip/wipe with lemon juice + a pinch of baking soda, or vinegar + salt. Rinse well and dry completely.
• If plated or lacquered: Avoid abrasive polishes, dips, and ultrasonic cleaners. Use only mild soap and water, then pat dry.
• Skin tint prevention: Apply a thin jewelry barrier (or clear coat) to areas that touch skin if desired.
• Last on, first off: Put jewelry on after skincare/makeup and remove before changing or sleeping.

Style Tips

• Everyday feminine: Let the bow shine with a simple tee, crewneck, or V-neck and delicate studs or small hoops.
• Office polish: Pair with a crisp button-down; keep other jewelry minimal for a refined look.
• Date night: Layer with a slim choker above or a longer fine chain below to frame the bow.
• Mix or match: Copper pairs beautifully with warm tones (gold, rose gold). For mixed metals, keep other pieces slim so the bow remains the focal point.
• Event-ready: Complements satin, lace, and wrap dresses; add a dainty bracelet to echo the ribbon motif.
