FLEX Ombre Hoop Pendant Necklace | White Gold & Sapphires

A hoop pendant necklace is a piece of jewellery where a circular, oval or tear-shaped pendant is suspended from a necklace chain to hang at the front of the wearer's neck. These necklaces vary in style, ranging from simple, minimalist designs to more complex ones featuring interlocking hoops, single gemstones or a continuous loop of diamonds.

A trace chain, also known as a cable or anchor chain, features uniform, oval-shaped links that fit closely together, resulting in a fine and delicate appearance. Although often mistaken for a belcher chain due to its similar shape, a trace chain is constructed from solid round wire, whereas a belcher chain is formed from curved strips of alloy. Trace chains are a popular choice in jewellery for holding pendants or charms, as well as for layering with other necklaces.

Princess necklaces measure 18 to 20 inches (45 to 51cm) and rest just below the collarbone.

Although ‘princess’ can also specify ornate, gem-set styles, it now primarily refers to length and placement. It suits pendants that hang just below the collarbone.

A smooth, shiny surface that reflects light. It's created using abrasive compounds or a polishing wheel to remove imperfections from the metal.

Made up of 75% pure gold and 25% other alloys, such as palladium, silver and nickel. It's typically plated with rhodium to give it a bright, reflective finish when purchased. Still, this finish can wear off over time, revealing a more yellowish hue to the ring. 18k white gold has a richer colour and is less durable than its 9k counterpart.
