Quadrilobe Pendant Necklace

18K gold vermeil over 925 sterling silver: solid 925 sterling silver beneath gold the maker specifies as vermeil. It is one of the Amaurine pieces that carry the word, because vermeil is a defined standard rather than a marketing word, and the word appears only where it is true. Every piece names its karat, its base metal and its finish 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 vermeil sits.

Gold does not tarnish, and on this piece it is the surface: 18K gold vermeil 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 whether gold vermeil tarnishes.

The Quadrilobe Pendant Necklace chain is adjustable between 210 and 410 mm; the pendant's own measurements are under Details above. Clasp it at the length that suits the neckline, and fasten the clasp before you store it so the chain never knots. For a length we do not list, write to hello@amaurine.com.

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.
