Gold-Plated Titanium Steel Oval Shape Pendant Necklace

How to Measure the Necklace

1. Chain length on your body:
   • Wrap a soft tape (or a string you can measure afterward) around your neck to the point you want the pendant to sit.
   • Note the number in centimeters or inches—this is your ideal chain length.
2. Chain length of the product:
   • Lay the necklace flat and measure end-to-end including the clasp. If there is an extender, measure both the minimum and maximum lengths.
3. Chain thickness:
   • Measure the width of a link (or the cable) with a ruler; for more accuracy, use a caliper. Record in mm (e.g., 1.5–3 mm).
4. Pendant size:
   • Height: measure from the top of the bail to the bottom of the oval. Also note the pendant height excluding the bail if you want the ornament-only size.
   • Width: measure the widest part of the oval.
5. Bail opening (if you plan to swap chains):
   • Measure the inner height and width of the bail to ensure your preferred chain can pass through.
6. Weight (optional):
   • Use a jewelry or kitchen scale to note grams. Weight helps anticipate how it will feel for all-day wear.

Fit reference (general guide): around 40 cm/16 in sits near the base of the neck, 45 cm/18 in at the collarbone, 50–55 cm/20–22 in below the collarbone, 60 cm/24 in mid-chest. Your neck circumference and torso length will affect the drape.

Materials & What They Mean

This necklace is described as gold-plated titanium steel. Below is what that typically entails:

• Base metal: “Titanium steel” is a trade term often used in jewelry for highly corrosion‑resistant steel (commonly 316L stainless steel) or a titanium‑enhanced steel alloy. Both are known for durability, shine retention, and low maintenance.
• Gold plating: A thin layer of gold is applied over the base metal. Plating may be done via electroplating or PVD (physical vapor deposition); the exact method and thickness vary by maker.
• Performance:
  • Corrosion and tarnish resistance: Strong, especially compared to many base metals. Plating longevity depends on thickness, finish method, and wear habits.
  • Skin sensitivity: Many people with sensitive skin tolerate 316L/titanium alloys well. However, if you have a known nickel sensitivity, patch-test or use a barrier product, as some steels can contain nickel.
  • Color retention: Gold plating can gradually lighten at high-friction points (clasp edges, pendant rim) over time.
• Care implication: Treat it like any plated piece—minimize abrasion and chemical exposure to keep the gold layer vibrant.

Model & Fit Information

Model specifics are not provided. Use these universal fit notes to mirror the look shown in product photos or to choose your preferred drape:

• Length and placement:
  • 40–45 cm (16–18 in): typically sits at or near the collarbone; ideal for everyday wear and layering.
  • 50–55 cm (20–22 in): falls just below the collarbone; versatile over tees and blouses.
  • 60 cm+ (24 in+): mid-chest; pairs well with higher necklines.
• Pendant visibility: An oval pendant is most visible on solid fabrics and open necklines. Larger pendants appear shorter on the body; smaller pendants appear longer at the same chain length.
• Proportion tip: If you have a fuller neck or prefer a looser fit, size up 5 cm/2 in from your usual choker/collarbone length.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Last on, first off: Put the necklace on after skincare, perfume, and hair products; remove it before undressing to avoid snags.
• Avoid moisture and chemicals: Take off before showering, swimming, workouts, saunas, and contact with cleaning agents.
• Daily wipe: After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry, lint‑free cloth to remove sweat and oils that can dull the plating.
• Occasional wash: If needed, use lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap; rinse well and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive pads, toothpaste, or silver dips.
• Storage: Keep in a soft pouch or separate compartment to prevent scratches from harder pieces. Avoid humid bathrooms.
• Layering care: When stacking, place plated pieces so they don’t rub constantly against textured chains or gemstones.
• Checkpoints: Periodically inspect the clasp and bail; address looseness early to prevent loss.

Style Tips

• Everyday polish: Wear the oval pendant on a 45 cm/18 in chain with a tee or blouse for an easy, refined finish.
• Layering: Mix with a shorter choker (35–40 cm) and a longer chain (50–55 cm) for a balanced three‑layer stack. Vary chain textures for contrast.
• Neckline match:
  • V‑neck and wrap tops: Pendant follows the V and elongates the neckline.
  • Crew and mock necks: Go longer (50–60 cm) so the pendant sits fully on the fabric.
• Mixed metals: Gold plating pairs well with warm tones; add a subtle silver or steel accent for a modern, high‑low mix.
• Occasion shift: For evening, swap to a thinner, shinier chain to spotlight the pendant; for daytime, a slightly thicker chain adds casual weight.
• Gift-ready: The classic oval silhouette suits minimalists and maximalists alike—easy to personalize by adjusting chain length.
