- Is the sapphire real?
- No. It is a lab-created sapphire, which has the same mineral makeup as a mined sapphire but is grown in a lab. The pearl is a cultured pearl, not a natural one.
- What is the chain length?
- The chain is 18 inches, a standard length that rests around the collarbone. It is one size and does not have an extender listed.
- Will the sterling silver tarnish?
- Yes, sterling silver darkens over time when exposed to air and moisture. Store it in a dry pouch and polish it with a silver cloth to keep it bright.
- Can I wear it every day?
- Yes, but take it off before showering, swimming or applying perfume. Pearls and sterling silver both last longer when kept away from water and chemicals.
- Is it a good Mother's Day gift?
- It is designed as a mom gift and comes across that way. If you want a birthstone or children's names, a personalized necklace would fit better.
- How should I clean the pearl?
- Wipe the pearl with a soft damp cloth and dry it right away. Skip ultrasonic cleaners and harsh jewelry dips, which can damage the pearl's surface.
