Teardrop Turquoise 4-Prong Pendant Necklace | Rose Gold / One Size 101300170759188

How to Measure

Use a ruler or calipers for the most accurate results. Measure in millimeters (mm) for precision.

• Pendant height (overall): Measure from the very top of the bail to the tip of the teardrop.
• Pendant height (stone only): Measure the turquoise from where it meets the setting to the tip, excluding the bail.
• Pendant width: Measure across the widest part of the teardrop.
• Gemstone size: Note the stone’s length × width (and depth if available) in mm.
• Bail opening (inner): Measure inner height and inner width to ensure your chain slides through comfortably. The chain’s thickness should be at least 0.5 mm less than the bail’s inner width.
• Chain length: Measure end‑to‑end including clasp; note any extender range (e.g., 16–18 in).
• On‑body drop: Put the necklace on and measure from the base of the neck to the tip of the pendant to see where it lands.
• At‑home length test: Wrap a string where you want the necklace to sit, mark it, then measure the string.
• Quick conversion: 1 inch = 25.4 mm.

Approximate chain fit guide:

• 14 in: choker
• 16 in: base of neck
• 18 in: at collarbone (most popular length)
• 20 in: just below collarbone
• 22–24 in: upper to mid décolletage

Materials

Turquoise (Teardrop)

• Composition: Turquoise is a hydrated copper aluminum phosphate; copper creates the blue tones, while iron can shift the color toward green.
• Hardness: Approximately 5–6 on the Mohs scale; it is relatively soft and naturally porous.
• Appearance: Color ranges from robin’s‑egg blue to green with possible natural veining (“matrix”). Color and matrix vary—each stone is unique.
• Common enhancements: Many turquoise stones are stabilized (polymer‑treated) to improve durability and color retention. Dyeing and reconstituted materials also exist in the market. For this specific piece, treatment details may vary by variant; refer to the product options or certificate if provided.

4‑Prong Pendant Setting

• Design: Four prongs secure the teardrop while keeping the gemstone visible from multiple angles. Some pear cuts use a protective tip at the point; details can vary by style.
• Metal: Typically made in precious metals such as sterling silver, solid gold, or gold vermeil. Exact metal/fineness depends on the selected variant.
• Chain & clasp: Often paired with cable, box, or curb chain and a spring‑ring or lobster clasp. Lengths and extenders vary by listing.
• Allergy note: If you have sensitivities (e.g., to nickel), confirm metal composition for your chosen finish.

Model & Fit Notes

• Length on the body: On an average neck circumference (~13.5–14.5 in / 34–37 cm), 16 in sits at the base of the neck, 18 in at the collarbone, and 20 in just below.
• Pendant drop consideration: The teardrop adds visual length below the chain; if you want the pendant to clear a neckline, consider sizing the chain up.
• Neckline pairing:
  • V‑necks: 16–18 in to center the teardrop in the V.
  • Crew necks: 18–20 in to sit neatly below the collar.
  • Deep or wrap necklines: 20–24 in for an elongated line.
• Fit adjustment: If your neck circumference is smaller/larger than average, adjust chain length down/up by about 2 in to achieve a similar on‑model look.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Last on, first off: Wear after skincare, perfume, and hairspray; remove before bed.
• Keep dry: Turquoise is porous—avoid water, steam, ultrasonic cleaners, and harsh chemicals.
• Clean gently: Wipe with a soft, dry, lint‑free cloth. Do not soak. For metal only, use a non‑abrasive polishing cloth.
• Store safely: Keep in a soft pouch or box, separate from other jewelry. For sterling silver, store in an anti‑tarnish bag.
• Protect the stone: Avoid knocks or drops; turquoise can chip. Periodically check prongs/bail; have a jeweler tighten if needed.
• Heat and sun: Avoid prolonged direct heat or sudden temperature changes that can affect the stone and any adhesives.

Style Tips

• Color pop: Let the turquoise be the hero against neutrals (white, black, cream) or earth tones (tan, rust, olive). It pairs beautifully with denim.
• Layering: Stack with a shorter delicate chain (14–16 in) above and a longer chain (20–24 in) below for a balanced tiered look.
• Metal match: Keep metals consistent for a sleek finish, or mix metals for a curated, modern stack.
• Neckline balance: Frame the teardrop inside a V‑neck; for high necklines, choose a longer chain so the pendant sits below the collar.
• Accessory pairing: Complement with turquoise studs or simple hoops and a minimal cuff or stackable rings in the same metal.
• Occasion ready: Wear solo for daytime ease; add layers or statement earrings to transition into evening.
• Gift friendly: Turquoise is a December birthstone and a classic token of protection and positive energy—ideal for birthdays and milestones.
