Dainty Mama Pendant Necklace in Gold

A fine gold-toned necklace made to mark motherhood, small enough to wear every day.

The chain measures 16" with a 2" extender, which puts it at the base of the throat or just below it depending on where you set it. Underneath the finish it is stainless steel, plated in 18k gold. Dainty is the operative word here: the scale is deliberately small, sized for a piece that stays on through everything an ordinary day contains rather than coming out for occasions.

It is bought most often as a gift, for a first Mother's Day, a birthday, or no occasion at all. Layered with other chains it adds a short tier; worn alone it stays quiet against an open neckline. The kind of necklace that goes on in the morning and is forgotten about until somebody asks about it.
