Angelina Necklace

This has not left my neck since early March, and I mean that literally, including sleep. Every delicate gold chain I bought before this one went dull within a month and two of them left a faint gray line on my collarbone that I had to scrub at. The plating on this is still perfectly even, no dark patches, no coppery tint showing through anywhere along the chain. The heart and the pear drop have kept their shine without a single polish. Lotion, perfume, sweat, and a genuinely brutal Texas heat wave have not made a dent. Four months in and it honestly looks newer than jewelry I bought last week.

Wore this every day of a week in Destin without once taking it off. It went in the Gulf, in the resort pool, in outdoor showers, and got rained on during a storm that chased us off the beach. My biggest worry was the crystals going cloudy from chlorine or salt, because that has happened to me with every CZ piece I have ever owned. They came home just as clear and bright as when I unboxed it. The fine chain did not darken at the clasp either, which is usually the first thing to go. It has been in my daily shower ever since with zero change.

My skin is genuinely difficult, and most chains leave me with an itchy red band within a day, sometimes little welts near the clasp. Because of that I had basically given up on necklaces and stuck to earrings. Took a chance on this one and have now worn it continuously for two months. Not one itch, no redness, no irritation at all, even during a stretch of hot humid days when my skin is at its worst. The fact that something this delicate sits against my neck all day and I never notice it says everything.

It wears beautifully, I genuinely cannot feel it on and the drop sits perfectly. Shipping was slower than I hoped and I was watching the tracking for a while. The necklace itself has been great since it landed.

The pear drop is stunning and the sparkle is exactly as pictured. The clasp is on the small side so it takes me a moment with tired eyes in the morning. Nothing that would stop me buying it again.

The pear shaped stone is the whole reason I bought this, and months later it still lights up every time I move. No dullness, no scratches on the surface. It genuinely looks like a drop of water sitting there.
