Clover Pendant Silver ICED OUT in 925 Sterling Silver A four-leaf clover set with stones across the whole face, in real 925 sterling silver with a 5x PVD finish. It is a symbol that reads instantly, which is what makes it work as a pendant: nobody needs it explained, and it carries meaning without being loud about it. Sold as a pendant, so you choose the chain. Product details of the Silver Iced Out Clover Pendant Brand: Carpe Ice Product type: Clover pendant Material: 925 sterling silver Finish: 5x PVD coating Stones: Cubic zirconia, set across the face Supplied as: Pendant only, chain sold separately Includes: Carpe Ice jewelry box Sterling silver with a PVD finish A pendant hangs against your skin all day, so it meets more sweat and body lotion than a chain does, and that is where an ordinary plating gives up first. PVD bonds the finish to the metal in a vacuum chamber rather than depositing a layer in a bath, which makes it far harder than standard plating. Applied five times over a base of real 925 sterling silver, which also keeps the silver underneath from tarnishing the way plain sterling does. Choosing the chain The pendant is sold on its own, which is the better way round, because the chain decides how the whole thing reads. Keep the chain narrower than the pendant, so the clover leads A box chain or a franco is ideal, since neither twists and the clover stays facing forward A rope chain rotates as you move, so a set pendant ends up sideways Keep the chain plain: a set pendant on a set chain means the two compete Check the bail passes over the link before ordering At 50 to 55 cm it sits above the collar where the stones catch light, which suits a set piece better than a longer chain does. The clover pieces together This pendant: sterling silver, fully set, worn on a chain of your choice. The clover bracelet: same silver and setting, on the wrist. The gold clover bracelet with black onyx: a single dark stone instead of a set surface, in a warm tone and about half the price. Pendant and bracelet sit in different places, so wearing both reads as deliberate rather than repetitive. Care Body lotion and soap collect underneath the settings, which is what makes a set piece look dull rather than the stones themselves. Brush gently with lukewarm water and a soft toothbrush, then dry it fully Take it off for showering, swimming and sport Put it on last, once aftershave and sunscreen have dried Skip ultrasonic cleaners and silver polishing cloths, which are abrasive on a finish What to wear it with One set piece per place is the rule that keeps a look sharp, so pair this with a plain chain and keep any bracelet simple.
