Outstanding piece of jewelry!
The design is what caught my eye in this set (I have the earrings too) but the craftsmanship estonished me. The onyx is just pure beauty! The vermeil is still as shinny as it was the day I got it. The only down side perhaps, is the heaviness: real stone has substantial weight that may annoy some women (not me ;))!

Gold is soft, malleable and very beautiful. It has been prized since prehistoric times and was used for ornaments or jewelry. Pure gold is yellow, however white gold, an alloy that resembles silver or platinum, is also used in fine jewelry.
Novica artisans transform the precious metal for our Gold Necklace Gallery. Peru's Giuliana Valz-Gen creates exquisite silver bracelets and necklaces in filigree, covering them in gleaming gold. Accents in gold leaf adorn Gerard Terrien's designs, and Thailand's Danai combines natural flowers with gold and silver. Brazil's Claudio Bravo adds gold details to bracelets and necklaces woven from native buriti palm.
Gold vermeil refers to sterling silver bathed in gleaming gold, and it is a favorite medium for designers from around the world. Gold plated jewelry may host precious stones to become a warm carnelian necklace or a unique brooch. We hope you enjoy exploring our collection of Gold Necklaces from around the world!
