The polished finish catches the light beautifully, giving the Yellow Gold that warm, rich glow we all secretly want from our jewellery. It is delicate enough to look elegant but substantial enough to work beautifully as an everyday necklace, and it can be worn perfectly happily on its own or teamed with a favourite pendant or charm.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAnd this is where I encourage you to have a little play.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eI sell my \u003cstrong\u003echains and pendants separately\u003c\/strong\u003e, because I have yet to meet two people who agree completely on what constitutes the perfect necklace combination. Perhaps you already own a pendant you adore but need a new Gold chain for it. Perhaps you want to build your own necklace from scratch. Or perhaps you have seen one of my pendants and thought, yes, that's lovely, but I absolutely do not want that chain attached to it. Fair enough. Jewellery should be personal.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSo mix and match to your heart's content.

It arrives \u003cstrong\u003egift boxed\u003c\/strong\u003e, so if you're buying it as a birthday present, anniversary gift, Christmas present or simply because someone you love deserves a little Gold for no particular reason whatsoever, it is ready to be presented without you having to perform emergency gift-wrapping gymnastics at eleven o'clock the night before.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cem\u003eGenuine 9ct Yellow Gold \u0026amp; UK Hallmarked\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAll the Gold I sell is \u003cstrong\u003eUK Hallmarked\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving you that important reassurance that you're buying genuine precious-metal jewellery rather than something which has been described as Gold with the sort of creative confidence normally reserved for property developers.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eFor Gold items over the applicable UK hallmarking threshold, a UK hallmark provides independent assurance of the precious metal content. The \u003cstrong\u003e375 hallmark\u003c\/strong\u003e indicates \u003cstrong\u003e9ct Gold\u003c\/strong\u003e, meaning the metal contains 37.5% pure Gold, with the remainder made up of other alloys. This gives 9ct Gold a useful combination of durability, affordability and everyday wearability, making it a particularly popular choice for jewellery that is intended to be worn rather than kept permanently in a drawer looking decorative.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cem\u003eAvailable in Other Metals\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIf Yellow Gold isn't quite your thing, don't panic.

I recommend removing your chain before showering, bathing, swimming, exercising or sleeping, particularly if you are wearing a pendant that could place additional strain on the chain. Perfume, hairspray, creams, cosmetics, chlorine and household cleaning products can also affect the appearance of jewellery over time, so ideally put your jewellery on after you've finished applying everything that makes you smell fabulous.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhen you're not wearing your chain, store it somewhere clean and dry and, where possible, keep it separate from other jewellery to reduce the risk of scratches and tangling. If it needs cleaning, use a soft jewellery cloth and gentle handling rather than anything abrasive.
