Frequently Asked Questions

All You Need to Know About Sterling Silver Pendants

What chain should I use with a silver pendant?

Matching Chains

Match your chain metal to your pendant—sterling with sterling looks cohesive. Choose chain thickness based on pendant weight. A heavy pendant needs at least a 2mm chain. Cable and box chains are reliable choices that fit most bails.

Match metals for best look
Heavier pendants need thicker chains
Check that bail fits chain
16-18" is most common length

Will gemstones in silver pendants fade?

Gemstone Care

Most gemstones are stable, but some fade in sunlight over time (amethyst, rose quartz). The silver setting won't cause fading. Store pendants away from direct light when not wearing. Clean gemstones gently—some are sensitive to chemicals.

Store away from sunlight
Some stones are heat-sensitive
Clean with mild soap and water
Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for soft stones

How do I clean a silver pendant with stones?

Cleaning Tips

Use warm water with a drop of dish soap. Gently scrub with a soft toothbrush around stones. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely. Don't use silver dip on pendants with gemstones—it can damage softer stones. Polish the silver parts with a cloth.

Mild soap and water is safest
Soft brush for crevices
Skip harsh silver dips
Dry completely before storing

What pendant size looks best?

Choosing Size

Pendant size is personal, but proportion matters. Smaller frames suit smaller pendants. Statement pieces should stand alone—don't layer with other necklaces. For everyday, 15-20mm works on most people without being overwhelming.

15-20mm: Versatile everyday size
25mm+: Statement territory
Consider your frame
Longer chains make pendants appear smaller

Can I shower with my silver pendant?

Water Exposure

It's best to remove it. Soap residue builds up over time, and water accelerates tarnish. Occasional exposure won't ruin it, but daily showering will dull the finish faster. If your pendant has gemstones, definitely take it off.

Remove before showering
Soap buildup dulls shine
Chlorine is especially damaging
Dry thoroughly if it gets wet
