Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Blue Sapphire Pendant Necklace
What is a rolo chain and why is it used?+
A rolo chain is composed of round or oval links that are joined together. It is widely used for pendant necklaces because it is sturdier than many other chain styles and provides a classic, clean look that doesn't distract from the pendant itself.
What does the Rhodium finish do for the 14K white gold?+
Rhodium is a rare, precious metal in the platinum family. It is plated over white gold to give it a bright, reflective white finish and to provide a hard protective layer that helps prevent scratches and tarnishing.
Are the diamonds and sapphire in this necklace natural?+
Yes, this necklace features a natural blue sapphire and natural round diamonds. Natural stones are earth-mined and are valued for their unique characteristics and lasting value.
How do I clean my blue sapphire pendant necklace?+
You can clean it using warm water and a drop of mild dish soap. Use a very soft brush to gently remove dirt from behind the settings, then rinse thoroughly and dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners if the stones have specific treatments.
