Geometric Alloy Pendant Necklace

How to Measure

Use a soft measuring tape or a piece of string plus a ruler. Record measurements in both inches and centimeters for accuracy.

1. Chain length: Lay the necklace flat and measure end-to-end from clasp tip to jump ring (do not include the pendant). If the chain has an extender, measure the base length, then measure the extender separately and note both (e.g., 16 in + 2 in extender).
2. Pendant height: Measure from the top of the bail (where the chain passes through) to the bottom tip of the pendant.
3. Pendant width: Measure at the widest point from side to side.
4. Pendant depth (optional): If the pendant is dimensional, measure the side profile at the thickest point.
5. Drop length on body: Double the distance from the clasp to the bottom of the pendant when the necklace is fastened and hanging; this is helpful to visualize where it sits on the chest.
6. Chain thickness: Measure the diameter or width of the chain links at a straight section (e.g., 1.5 mm).
7. Weight (optional): Place on a jewelry scale for total grams; note pendant-only weight if detachable.

• Length guide: 14–16 in = choker/collarbone; 18 in = standard; 20–22 in = below collarbone. Adjust based on neck circumference and neckline.
• Tip: If you don’t have a tape, wrap string around your neck to your desired drop, then measure the string against a ruler.

Materials & Composition

This style is described as an alloy pendant necklace. In fashion jewelry, “alloy” commonly refers to a blend of metals (often zinc or brass alloys) that is shaped and then finished with a protective and decorative coating.

• Base metal (pendant): Jewelry-grade alloy (commonly zinc or brass). Chosen for its formability and lightweight feel.
• Finish/plating: Typically gold-tone, silver-tone (rhodium), or black/hematite-tone. Plating may be followed by a clear e-coating to help resist tarnish and surface wear.
• Chain: Often stainless steel or matching alloy with the same finish for color consistency and durability.
• Hardware: Standard lobster clasp or spring ring, jump rings for adjustability.

Notes on wear and skin sensitivity:

• Plated finishes offer the look of precious metals; over time, plating can show wear, especially with water, sweat, or friction.
• If you have sensitive skin, stainless steel chains or clearly labeled nickel-safe finishes tend to be more comfortable.
• If brand specifications are provided, look for mentions such as “nickel-safe,” “lead-safe,” “stainless steel 316L,” “rhodium plated,” or “e-coated” for added durability.

Model & Fit Notes

• An 18 in chain generally sits at the collarbone on many necks; a geometric pendant will rest just below for a clean, modern look.
• For layering on a model or in outfit shots, a common stack is 16 in (choker) + 18 in (this pendant) + 20–22 in (longer chain).
• If pictured on a model over a high neckline (crew or turtleneck), expect the pendant to sit centered on the chest for a graphic, architectural focal point.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Keep dry: remove before showering, swimming, workouts, or heavy humidity.
• Last on, first off: apply perfumes, lotions, and hairsprays before wearing to minimize plating contact with chemicals.
• Clean gently: wipe with a soft, dry, non-abrasive cloth after each wear. For stainless steel components only, a little mild soap and lukewarm water is fine; dry thoroughly.
• Avoid harsh cleaners: skip silver dips, alcohol, bleach, or ultrasonic machines on plated/alloy pieces.
• Store smart: keep in a soft pouch or separate compartment, ideally in an anti-tarnish bag with a silica gel packet to control moisture.
• Travel tip: place the pendant in a small pouch and feed a corner of the chain through the clasp to prevent tangling.
• Long-term care: if heavy wear causes finish fade, a jeweler can re-plate; e-coating can also be refreshed.

Style Tips

• Minimal modern: Wear solo on an 18 in chain with a white tee or slip dress to let the clean geometry stand out.
• Layered look: Pair with a fine 16 in choker above and a smooth 20–22 in chain below. Vary textures (box, rope, or snake chains) to highlight the pendant’s angles.
• Office polish: Position at the collarbone with a crisp button-down; add small hoop or stud earrings for a balanced set.
• Evening edge: Style with a deep V or square neckline to echo the geometric lines. Add a cuff bracelet for a cohesive, architectural vibe.
• Cold-weather ready: Wear over knits (crew or turtleneck); the geometric shape reads clearly against textured fabric.
• Mix metals: Geometric pendants pair well with both gold- and silver-tone layers—use the pendant’s finish as your anchor and add one contrasting accent chain.
