Love is Golden Necklace – pearls and 12K gold-fill

Love is Golden Necklace - pearls and 12K gold-fill

Description:

Her heart was filled
With love
And her days
Were filled with it

Love, after all, is what makes the world go around.

Freshwater pearls were painstakingly wire wrapped together to make a truly romantic and delicate piece.

All components, from the wire used to form the word "Love" and the wire linking the pearls together, down to the lobster claw clasp, are made of 12K gold fill. The color of the wire is difficult to capture, and so I have included several photos. It is best described as a rich golden honey color.

Total length of necklace is about 17" (43 cm). Pearls are about 4 mm in diameter. Please contact me if you would like to modify the length.

Dimensions of the word "Love" are approximately 1.5 inches long (4 cm) x 5/8" (17 mm) tall.

Learning more about gold-fill:

Gold-filled components are composed of a solid layer of gold bonded to red brass. Gold-filled items can be worn daily for many years without wearing through (up to 30), and as per Federal Trade Commission standards, if the gold layer is 12 K or higher, the minimum layer of karat gold in the item must equal at least 1/20 the weight of the total item. Gold-filled items are also 50 to 100,000 times thicker than regular gold plating.

gold, pearls
