Pieces: 1-piece Material: Copper, Gold-plated Care instructions: Avoid wearing during exercise, as sweat will react with the jewelry to produce silver chloride and copper sulfide, which causes the jewelry to deteriorate and corrode over time. Imported Product measurements: One Size: Chain length 16.9 in, Extension chain length 2 in, Weight 0.4 oz (10 g) Gold-Plated Bubble Initial Necklace A playful, polished bubble-letter pendant finished in a warm gold tone. Designed for everyday wear and easy personalization. How to Measure Chain length Wrap a string where you want the necklace to sit, mark it, then measure the string with a ruler. That is your ideal chain length. Common lengths and where they fall on an average neck (approx. 12.5–13.5 in / 32–34 cm circumference): 14 in (35.5 cm) choker 16 in (40.5 cm) base of neck 18 in (45.5 cm) at collarbone 20 in (51 cm) just below collarbone 22–24 in (56–61 cm) mid-chest Fit tip: Choose a chain length about 2–4 in (5–10 cm) longer than your neck circumference for a classic collarbone fit. Pendant size Height: Measure from the top of the bail (loop) to the bottom of the letter. Width: Measure the widest point of the letter. Note whether measurements include or exclude the bail; both formats are common. Bail opening (to use the pendant on other chains) Measure the inner height and width of the bail. Your chain’s thickness must be smaller than both. Chain thickness Measure the chain with a ruler or calipers. Thickness is usually listed in millimeters (mm). Weight (optional) Use a jewelry scale (grams) for precise weight if needed. Conversion note 1 inch = 25.4 mm. Minor variance (±1–2 mm) is normal in handmade or plated pieces. Materials & Construction Finish: Gold-plated. A thin layer of genuine gold is bonded to a durable base metal for a luminous, solid-gold look at an accessible price. How gold plating works: The piece is electroplated so a gold layer adheres evenly to the surface, then polished to a glossy sheen. Typical base metals used for gold-plated jewelry: 925 sterling silver (when plated at ≥2.5 microns, this is called “gold vermeil” in the U.S.). Brass or copper alloys (common for fashion jewelry). Stainless steel (notable for durability and corrosion resistance). Plating thickness (for context): “Flash” plating: about 0.1–0.3 microns (bright look, lighter wear resistance). Thicker plating: ~1.0 micron or more (improved longevity). Gold vermeil (over sterling silver): typically 2.5 microns or more. Bubble initial pendant details: Rounded, softly domed letter silhouette with smooth edges for a playful, substantial look. Allergy considerations: If you are sensitive to nickel, look for nickel-safe or hypoallergenic bases such as sterling silver or certain stainless steels. Note: Exact karat color (e.g., 14k/18k tone), base metal, and plating thickness can vary by style or batch. Refer to the product specifications if listed on this page. On-Model Fit Guide Collarbone look: Usually achieved with a 16–18 in chain on an average neck. Layering look: Try a 16 in base layer plus an 18–20 in layer for staggered lengths; place the bubble initial at the middle length for balance. If replicating a specific on-model photo: Measure a string to the displayed chain length (often 16–18 in), hold it at your neck, and confirm where it falls on you. For broader necks or higher coverage tops, add 2–4 in to the displayed length to achieve a similar drop. Care Guide — To Keep It Lovely Longer Last on, first off: Put jewelry on after skincare, perfume, and hairspray; remove before undressing. Avoid moisture and chemicals: Remove before showering, swimming, workouts, or cleaning. Daily wipe-down: Gently wipe with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth after each wear to remove oils and sweat. Occasional clean: Briefly wash with lukewarm water and a drop of mild soap, rinse quickly, and dry thoroughly. Do not soak. No abrasives: Avoid jewelry dips, ultrasonic cleaners, rough cloths, or metal polishes that can strip plating. Store smart: Keep in a soft pouch or separate compartment to prevent scratches and friction with other pieces. Travel tip: Pack in small zip pouches to limit humidity and tangling. Longevity: Plating wears fastest on high-friction areas (edges, bail). If heavily worn over time, many jewelers offer professional replating. Style Tips Personal touch: Choose your own initial, a loved one’s, or layer multiple letters for a story-driven stack. Layering formula: 16 in fine chain + 18 in bubble initial + 20–22 in textured chain for depth. Neckline pairing: V-neck: 16–18 in to sit above the V. Crew neck: 18–20 in to clear the collar. Button-down: 18 in tucked between the first two buttons. Mix and match: Pair the gold-plated glow with small hoop earrings, huggies, or a birthstone charm for color. Everyday-to-evening: Wear solo for daytime minimalism; add a chunky chain or sparkle layer for night. Gift-ready: Initials make meaningful presents for birthdays, bridal parties, or new moms.
