18K Gold Plated Teardrop Cubic Zirconia Necklace and Earring Set

Two pieces, one look: a slim pendant necklace and a pair of drop earrings, both set with faceted cubic zirconia in plated brass. The "teardrop" cut does the work here, narrowing to a point so the stone reads long rather than round.

What Arrives

• One pendant necklace on a fine chain
• One pair of zircon drop earrings
• Presented in a box

Measurements

• Necklace: 16 inches plus a 2 inch extender
• Pendant: 1.0 cm
• Earring drop length: 3.0 cm

Materials

Each piece is plated brass, offered in 18k gold plating or silver plating. The earrings are finished with solid sterling silver posts, which is the part that meets the earlobe.

Nothing in the set contains nickel, so it suits ears and skin that react to base metal alloys.

How the Set Wears

Worn together, the pendant and the drops sit at different heights and keep the sparkle from crowding. Either piece also works alone, which is why the set travels well.

It suits a wedding party, a rehearsal dinner, or an anniversary, and it reads just as easily with a plain knit on an ordinary day.

Storage and Cleaning

Wipe the stones with a dry soft cloth once the set comes off. Keep the plating clear of perfume, hairspray and chlorine, and store the chain and the drops apart so they cannot scratch each other.
