- Is the pendant solid silver or plated?
- It is sterling silver, the same .925 silver James Avery uses across its charm line. It is not plated over base metal.
- How big is the "Mom" charm?
- The charm is small, roughly under an inch across, and sits close to the collarbone. Expect a delicate look rather than a bold one.
- Can the chain be shortened?
- The chain is adjustable with a clasp, so you can fasten it shorter than its full length. It cannot be cut down without a jeweler's help.
- Can I add names or birthstones?
- No. This is a fixed script charm, so personalization would mean choosing a different James Avery charm or an engraved piece.
- How should I clean it?
- Use a silver polishing cloth and store it dry and sealed. Avoid chlorine and perfume to slow tarnishing.
- Is it a good gift for a new mom?
- Yes, if she likes simple silver jewelry. It is a low-risk gift, though it carries less personal meaning than an engraved or birthstone piece.
- Where is the James Avery Mom Necklace cheapest?
- At James Avery, for $140.00, as of our latest check.
