Gorgon Chain | Gold
Gorgon Chain | Gold
Reminiscent of the gorgon sisters and their petrifying gaze that turned those who witnessed it, into stone. The Gorgon chain was inspired by Medusa, Stheno, and Euryale themselves.
All our pieces are designed to be genderless; jewellery for all.
- Crafted from vermeil, the Gorgon chain is 1.5mm thick.
- Gold Gorgon Chain is 2.5 microns of 14k gold plating on 925 sterling silver.
Please note: Do not bend, snap, or twist the Gorgon Chain. Unlike our other chains, the Gorgon Chain must be treated with more care than the others. Please treat it with care.
WHAT IS VERMEIL + RHODIUM + 925 SILVER?
Rhodium is a metal that comes from the same family as platinum. It's more durable and stronger than white gold, and, it's shinier. Hence why we opted for Rhodium plating instead of white gold.
Vermeil essentially refers to jewellery made with a base of silver and a layer of gold/rhodium plating. So, all our gold pieces have a 2.5 micron gold plating, whilst our silver pieces have a 0.1 micron rhodium plating.
Why only 0.1 microns for silver pieces? Firstly, 2.5 microns of Rhodium plating is incredibly excessive, and expensive, you don't need that many microns for rhodium. Rhodium is tarnish resistant too. Thus, less microns are needed, making it cheaper for you, and maintaining great quality.
925 Sterling Silver means a 92.5% composition of silver. This means that the other 7.5% is alloyed with other materials. All our chains are alloyed with brass. Our pendants are alloyed with brass and copper.
CARING FOR YOUR PIECES
Wear me in water, at the gym, at the beach, during sex, get wet with it. Go for it.
Just a kind reminder that ALL jewellery CAN tarnish, except for solid gold pieces. Our pieces are tarnish RESISTANT. However, our pieces have all been subject to quality testing to ensure longevity.
Please be careful to not be rough with your jewellery. Wear it to the gym etc., but don’t drop 40kg weights on it and expect it to be okay. Treat it with care so it at lasts you as long as possible. Likewise, take your jewellery off when you go to bed. People with long hair might end up with their jewellery tangled in their hair etc. Likewise, don't rough handle, or forcefully bend, snap, or mould etc. your jewellery.
Store your pieces in our gift pouches, and away from direct sunlight whilst not in use. For a more in depth guide look here.
