18k Gold and 925 Silver Round Pendant

A circular pendant in 18k gold and sterling silver, 2.2 cm across and 3.4 cm from bail to base, small enough to sit quietly at the collarbone, present enough to catch the light. The two metals work together rather than competing: the warmth of gold against the cooler brightness of silver gives it a layered, considered look that suits everyday wear as well as an occasion.

What you'll notice when you wear it

• The round form sits flat against the skin, with no sharp edges, comfortable against the chest through a long day.
• At 6 g, it has a little weight to it, enough to feel intentional without pulling at a fine chain.
• The combination of 18k gold and 925 silver gives it a two-tone quality that reads differently in different lights, warmer in candlelight, crisper in daylight.
• The scale is versatile: close to the throat on a short chain, or lower at the heart on something longer.

Metal and construction

The pendant is made from 925 sterling silver, 92.5% pure silver, the standard for fine jewellery, with 18k gold detailing. Sterling silver is durable enough for daily wear and holds its finish well with a little care. The round silhouette is clean and unfussy, letting the metal combination do the work.

Wearing and styling

A chain is not included; the pendant fits a standard bail, so it works with most fine chains. A delicate silver curb chain keeps the two-tone look cohesive. Worn at the collarbone, it suits an open neckline or a simple crew neck; on a longer chain, it sits at the heart, a small, visible anchor for the day. It layers well with other fine pendants if you prefer a stacked look.

Care

Sterling silver can tarnish over time, particularly with exposure to moisture, perfume, or lotions. Remove before swimming or bathing, and store in a soft pouch or closed box when not in use. A gentle polish with a dry silver cloth brings back the brightness. The gold detailing does not require separate care.

Common questions

What chain length works best with this pendant?
At 3.4 cm drop, it sits well on chains between 40 cm and 50 cm, the shorter length brings it to the collarbone, the longer to the heart. A fine curb or trace chain in silver complements the two-tone finish without drawing attention away from the pendant itself.

Is the gold solid or plated?
The pendant combines 18k gold with 925 sterling silver. If you need clarification on the specific construction for your purchase, please get in touch before ordering.

Will the silver tarnish?
Sterling silver does tarnish gradually, especially with exposure to air, moisture, or skin products. Regular wear actually slows tarnishing, and a soft polishing cloth restores the finish quickly when needed.
