The Katia Gold Chain Necklace with Teardrop Tassels is a beautiful piece of handmade jewelry, inspired by vintage Indian designs. It is designed to be worn as a short necklace that sits high on the neck, but can also be adjusted to a longer length for layering. The necklace is made from sustainable materials, with the chain crafted from recycled brass dipped in thick layers of recycled 14 Carat Gold. The chain measures 35 cm when laid flat open, with an additional 5 cm extension. Please note that as each necklace is handmade, there may be slight natural variations in the length or tone of the pieces.

Material | Brass |
This is a special jewelry alloy that usually uses copper and zinc in varying proportions. Brass, unlike silver, is not considered a precious metal. However, it is much stronger than silver, because jewelry made from it is more wear-resistant. | |
Plating | 14K Gold |
58.3% pure gold in alloy. Sufficiently durable material with medium color intensity. The most widely used alloy in jewelry. | |
Plating type | Gold Plated |
A layer of gold is applied over the base metal. Over time (depending on the thickness of the coating), this layer will gently rub off. However, the decoration can always be recoated. | |
