How to Measure

Identify the dimensions you may want to know before purchasing or layering:

• Chain length (end-to-end)
• Pendant height (stone + bail), width, and thickness
• Bail inner opening (to know if you can swap chains)

Measure your ideal chain length:

1. Wrap a soft measuring tape (or a piece of string) around your neck where you want the pendant to sit.
2. Mark the point, then measure the string against a ruler. Add 1–2 cm (0.4–0.8 in) if you want a looser fit.
3. Common lengths and where they usually fall on most necks: 16 in (40.6 cm) at the collarbone, 18 in (45.7 cm) just below collarbone, 20–22 in (50.8–55.9 cm) upper chest, 24 in (61 cm) mid-chest.

Measure a pendant you already own (for comparison):

• Height: top of bail to bottom tip of the crystal.
• Width: widest point of the crystal or setting.
• Bail inner opening: measure the narrowest inner width to ensure your preferred chain fits. Many standard chains are 1–2 mm thick; chunkier chains may be 3–4 mm.

Tip for layering: choose lengths spaced 2 in (5 cm) apart (e.g., 16 in + 18 in + 20 in) so each pendant has room to shine.

Materials & Composition

Copper

• Appearance: warm reddish tone that can deepen over time as a natural patina forms.
• Behavior: copper oxidizes when exposed to air, humidity, and skin oils—this may darken the metal and can occasionally leave a faint greenish mark on skin; it’s harmless and washes off.
• Care considerations: easily brightened with a jewelry polishing cloth; store dry to slow patina. If the piece has a protective lacquer or wax, avoid abrasive polishes.
• Allergy note: pure copper is nickel-free by nature, but some findings or chains can be alloyed or plated. If nickel sensitivity is a concern, verify the chain/findings specification.

Natural Crystal

• Uniqueness: natural crystals often show color zoning, internal veils, and minor surface texture—these are not flaws but markers of authenticity.
• Hardness: common jewelry crystals (e.g., quartz family) are around 7 on the Mohs scale; softer stones (like calcite or selenite) can be 2–3 and need gentler handling. If you know the exact stone, follow care specific to that mineral.
• Sensitivity: avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and extreme temperature changes; some crystals (e.g., amethyst, rose quartz) can fade with prolonged direct sunlight.

Model Information (Fit Reference)

• Model neck circumference: approximately 30 cm / 12 in.
• Necklace shown at 18 in (45.7 cm): sits just below the collarbone on the model.
• Pendant drop reference: a 30–40 mm crystal typically falls to upper chest on an 18–20 in chain; your fit may vary based on neck size and torso length.

Fit varies by individual. If you prefer a higher or lower drop, choose ±2 in (5 cm) from the model reference.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Last on, first off: put the necklace on after skincare, perfume, and hairspray; remove before swimming, showering, or exercising.
• Daily wipe-down: gently polish with a dry, soft cloth after wear to remove oils and moisture.
• Storage: keep in a dry pouch or airtight bag with an anti-tarnish tab; store away from direct sunlight to avoid potential color fading of certain crystals.
• Copper refresh: use a jewelry polishing cloth. For heavier tarnish on uncoated copper only, a quick dip in a mild solution (warm water + a little lemon juice, then rinse and dry thoroughly) can brighten; test a small area first and never soak the crystal or any coated/plated parts.
• Avoid abrasives on crystals and coated metals. Do not use ultrasonic or steam cleaners.
• If the piece is lacquered or sealed: clean with a damp soft cloth only; avoid solvents and metal polishes.

Safety: small parts—keep away from young children.

Style Tips

• Layering made easy: pair with a 16 in choker and a 20–22 in chain for a balanced trio. Stagger pendants so they don’t overlap.
• Necklines: wear 16–18 in with crew and scoop necks; try 20–24 in with V-necks and button-downs.
• Metal mix: copper pairs beautifully with warm tones (rose gold, bronze). Add a slim rose gold chain for a modern mixed-metal look.
• Color play: choose crystal hues that complement your wardrobe—clear/neutral crystals go with everything; deeper tones elevate minimal outfits.
• Everyday to event: keep it solo for a refined accent; stack bracelets or rings in similar warm metals for a boho-chic vibe.
• Versatility: check the bail opening—if it fits, swap onto leather cord or a thicker chain for a more casual or statement look.
