Pastille Layered Necklace

Gold over 925 sterling silver: a solid 925 sterling silver core finished in gold, which is the maker’s own specification, published as given. Every Amaurine piece names its base metal and its finish on its own page, in the same words as our published standards. Our guide to gold finishes in Australia sets the finishes side by side, so you can see where this one sits.

Gold does not tarnish, and on this piece it is the surface: gold over 925 sterling silver. Keep the surface and you keep the gold. Last on, first off; off before water; a soft dry cloth after wearing; its pouch between wears. Every finish is covered by our 12-month craftsmanship warranty. The longer answer is in our article on how gold over silver wears over time.

The Pastille Layered Necklace is two lengths in one piece — a short run of small flat discs at the throat and a longer chain beneath it carrying a single disc — on an adjustable chain. The spacing between the two is fixed, which is how the layered neckline stays where you put it. The maker does not publish the length range, so write to hello@amaurine.com before you order and we will confirm it. Fasten the clasp before you store it so the chains never knot.

A dry, soft cloth, and nothing more. Silver dips, polishing cloths and abrasive creams are made to strip a surface layer, which on this piece is the gold you want to keep. If it needs more than a wipe: warm water, a drop of mild soap, then dry it completely. The full routine is on our care page.
