A delicate but statement chain necklace handmade from recycled precious metals. This is one of my favourite pieces and pairs perfectly with the Pastille chain link earrings. If you would like the necklace to be made from a different metal, be slightly chunkier or thinner then please email me as this is possible. The necklace pictured on the model is 16" long, 18" is the standard necklace length and 20" sits just below that. Gold Vermeil pieces consist of a layer of 18ct gold electroplated onto a sterling silver base. Gold Vermeil pieces are made purely from precious metals, unlike gold-plated items, and have a much thicker coating of 18ct gold. Gold Vermeil pieces must have at least a 2.5-micron layer whereas gold-plating only requires a minimum of 0.5 microns. This means the piece contains 5x the gold. 18ct gold is an alloy which contains 75% pure gold and this is the highest percentage of gold that jewellery should be made of due to the soft nature of solid gold.
