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
