SILVER & GOLD VERMEIL CUBIC ZIRCONIA HEART PENDANT

This is a stunning Sterling Silver heart pendant with a Cubic Zirconia outline and features two smaller Gold Vermeil hearts inside. The pendant measures approximately 25mm long including silver bale, and 19mm wide.

This listing is for the pendant only; if you need a chain also I recommend this one.

All our Sterling Silver pieces are beautifully packaged in a branded gift box.

Don’t get me wrong, I am partial to Diamonds. However, Cubic Zirconia is similar to Diamond in brilliance and clarity but is flawless. It is made in laboratories in large quantities and as such is much more affordable and in many cases, ethical... It is almost as hard as Diamond at 8.5 on the Mohs Scale in comparison to a Diamond's 10. It is not a Diamond though it has many Diamond-like qualities. Isn’t it time that we stop lusting after the Diamonds we will have "one day" and rock something just as beautiful until that day arrives? Why not?!

Vermeil is the name given to Gold-plated Silver.  Depending on how the jewellery is cared for and what chemicals and elements it comes in contact with, Vermeil should retain its golden look for several years. However, over time, as with all plating, eventually the coating will begin to wear and the Silver underneath will be seen. Although you will be left with what is still a precious metal item, if you wish to preserve the plating, avoid household detergents, particularly chlorine which can be present in tap water; remove your jewellery before swimming, bathing or showering. It is a simple matter to have items re-plated.
