Copper 14K Gold-Plated Round Shape Aventurine Pendant Necklace | Green / One Size 101300037874806

How to Measure

1. Determine your chain length:
   • Use a soft tape measure around your neck to your preferred drop, then double that number for total chain length.
   • No tape? Wrap a string to the desired drop, mark it, then measure the string with a ruler.
   • Quick guide: 16 in (40 cm) = base of neck; 18 in (45 cm) = at collarbone; 20–22 in (50–55 cm) = just below collarbone/upper chest.
2. Measure the pendant diameter (round):
   • Lay the pendant flat and measure straight across the widest point.
   • For an at‑home reference: a US dime is about 18 mm across; a US quarter is about 24 mm.
3. Check the bail opening (the loop that the chain passes through):
   • Measure your chain’s thickest point and make sure it is smaller than the bail’s inner width and height.
   • If swapping chains, test with a thin toothpick or paper strip—mark the width that fits and compare to a ruler.
4. Assess drop on your neckline:
   • Drop length is roughly half of the total chain length (e.g., 18 in chain ≈ 9 in drop before the pendant).
   • Add the pendant’s height to estimate where the bottom will land.
5. Weight and comfort:
   • If desired, weigh on a kitchen scale (grams) to compare with pieces you already wear comfortably.

Materials & Gemstone

Base & Finish: Copper with 14K Gold Plating

• Base metal: copper for strength and a balanced weight.
• Finish: 14K gold-plated surface; “14K” refers to a gold alloy that is 58.5% pure gold in the plating layer.
• What to expect: with normal wear, plating can thin on high‑friction points over time; proper care helps extend its life.

Aventurine (Round Pendant)

• Gem type: Aventurine, a variety of quartz known for its soft, sparkly shimmer (aventurescence).
• Appearance: usually green with natural specks or swirls from mineral inclusions (often fuchsite); each stone is unique.
• Durability: Mohs hardness ~6.5–7; suitable for everyday wear with sensible care.
• Notes: avoid hard knocks and extreme heat; natural stones may vary slightly in color, pattern, and translucency.

Model Fit Notes

• On a 16 in (40 cm) chain, the pendant typically rests at the base of the neck.
• On an 18 in (45 cm) chain, it sits around the collarbone (a popular everyday length).
• On a 20–22 in (50–55 cm) chain, it falls a little lower on the upper chest.

Fit varies with neck circumference and torso length; use the measurement guide above to match your preferred drop.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Last on, first off: put on after skincare, perfume, and hairspray; remove before showering, swimming, or exercising.
• Avoid chemicals: keep away from chlorine, saltwater, cleaning agents, and hand sanitizers.
• Clean gently: wipe with a soft, dry, lint‑free cloth after wear. For deeper cleaning, a brief dip in lukewarm water with a drop of mild soap, then rinse and dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive cloths, jewelry dips, ultrasonic, or steam cleaners.
• Protect the plating: store separately in a soft pouch or small zip bag to minimize friction that can thin the 14K gold layer.
• Stone care: aventurine can chip if dropped—avoid knocks and sudden temperature changes.
• Tangle tip: always clasp the chain when storing to prevent knots.
• Long‑term: with heavy wear, plating may show the copper base at high‑contact points; a jeweler can re‑plate if desired.

Style Tips

• Everyday polish: wear solo on an 18 in chain with tees, blouses, or a blazer for a refined pop of green.
• Layering: stack with a 14–16 in choker above and a 20–22 in chain below; mix textures (rope, box, paperclip) in the same gold tone for cohesion.
• Color play: aventurine’s green complements neutrals (white, cream, black), earth tones (camel, tan, olive), and pairs beautifully with soft pinks or lavender.
• Necklines: V‑necks and scoop necks frame the round pendant; with higher necklines, choose a longer chain so the pendant sits over the fabric.
• Keep it cohesive: match with yellow‑gold earrings or a slim bracelet; let the stone be the focal point.
• Gift‑ready meaning: traditionally associated with luck and optimism—thoughtful for milestones and well‑wishes.
