Necklace FAQ
What is a candy necklace?
Our candy necklaces are strands of colorful gemstone beads, hand-knotted on silk, inspired by the classic candy necklace. They are fine jewelry, not candy.
Will gold-filled necklaces tarnish?
14K gold-filled jewelry has a thick layer of real gold bonded to the base metal, so it resists tarnish and does not flake like gold-plated jewelry.
Can I wear my necklace in the shower or ocean?
We recommend taking it off. Water can weaken silk knotting over time and can dull some gemstones and pearls.
How do I choose a necklace length?
A 16 to 18 inch necklace sits near the collarbone, which is the most versatile length for everyday wear and layering.
Can a necklace be made longer or shorter?
Many pieces can be adjusted. Contact us before ordering and we will let you know what is possible.
Necklace Care
- Put your necklace on after lotion, perfume and hairspray.
- Remove before swimming, showering or exercising.
- Store flat or in a soft pouch so it does not tangle.
- Wipe gently with a soft cloth.
