- Is the Kendra Scott Ari heart necklace real gold?
- No. The chain and setting are gold-plated brass, with a 14k gold accent. It is fashion jewelry, not solid gold, so it needs gentler care than fine jewelry.
- How long is the chain and can it be adjusted?
- The chain is 17 inches with an adjustable clasp, so it sits at the collarbone. It cannot be worn as a choker without a separate extender.
- What stone is in the pendant?
- The heart is set with pink quartz. It is a genuine stone, so color and pattern can vary slightly between pieces.
- Can I wear it in the shower or to the gym?
- Better not. Water, sweat and perfume speed up plating wear and can dull the stone. Put it on last and take it off first.
- How does it compare with the Ari heart necklace in other metals?
- The design is the same; the difference is finish and care. Gold-plated brass shows wear sooner than solid gold or sterling versions, which cost more but last longer.
- Is it a good gift for a girlfriend or daughter?
- It is a common gift choice because of the heart motif and presentation. Keep in mind it is delicate, so it suits someone who will store and care for it.
- Where is the Kendra Scott Ari Heart Short Pendant Necklace cheapest?
- At Nordstrom, for $45.00, as of our latest check.
