Is the pumpkin charm real mother-of-pearl?

Yes. The pumpkin is cut from orange mother-of-pearl, a natural shell material, so each piece has slightly different shading. The metal is brass plated with 14k yellow gold.

How long is the chain and can it be adjusted?

The chain is 17 inches, a standard short pendant length. The toggle closure lets you fasten it at a slightly different point, but it is not a true adjustable slider.

Will the gold plating tarnish?

Gold-plated brass can tarnish over time, especially with sweat, perfume and water. Keep it dry, store it in a pouch, and avoid wearing it in the shower or pool to extend the finish.

Is it only for Halloween?

The pumpkin theme is seasonal, but the small size and gold-and-orange palette let it work through fall and Thanksgiving. Many buyers treat it as an October-only piece.

What comes in the box?

It ships as a single necklace with the pumpkin pendant on its chain. Kendra Scott typically includes a jewelry pouch or gift box, which makes it easy to give.

How does it compare with Kendra Scott's other pendant necklaces?

It uses the same brass-and-plating construction and toggle-style closures as many Kendra Scott fashion pendants. The difference is the seasonal mother-of-pearl pumpkin instead of a stone or metal charm.
