Butterfly Pearl Pendant

Frequently Asked Questions

What metal is the pendant made of?

The pendant is made of rhodium plated lead-free alloy (brass). The rhodium plating gives it a bright white finish and helps protect the alloy underneath, though the plating is not solid precious metal.

What stones are set in the pendant?

The pendant is set with crushed shell pearl, held in place by prongs that leave the stones open to light from the sides. The total stone weight across the piece is 0.86 ct.

How long is the chain on the pendant?

The pendant comes on a 16 inch link chain with a 2 inch extender, so the length can be adjusted slightly. It closes with a lobster clasp, which is a secure, sprung style of fastener.

How should I care for the pendant?

Because the pendant features shell pearl, it should be kept away from perfume, hairspray, and household cleaners, which can dull its surface. Wiping it gently after wear and storing it separately helps protect the rhodium plating too.

How to Care for Your Butterfly Pearl Pendant

1. Wipe the piece gently with a soft cloth after each wear to remove oils and residue.
2. Keep it away from perfume, hairspray, and household cleaners, since the shell pearl can be affected by these products.
3. Store it separately from other jewelry to prevent scratching the rhodium plating.
4. Remove it before swimming, bathing, or exercising to limit exposure to moisture.
5. Avoid rubbing or abrasive contact with the pearl surface, as its pearlescent coating can wear down over time.
