Orchid Girdle Necklace

925 sterling silver, moissanite, for daily wear

5 · 0 reviews
In stock · Ships in 1-2 days

The balance of moissanite and silver is deliberate: the stone keeps its light in, the silver holds steady. Threading Orchids for a Girdle is this necklace's whole provenance.

Cast in one piece of 925 sterling silver with the moissanite set low by hand - it will not catch on sleeves, scarves or hair. Weighs about 4.8 g; made for all-day wear.

Arrives with a silver-polishing cloth and a fabric pouch; clearly stamped S925. No fussy upkeep - just remove it before swimming or bathing.
