{"product_id":"mixed-metal-layered-charm-necklace","title":"Mixed Metal Layered Charm Necklace | Gold Carabiner Eye Disc","description":"\u003cp\u003eA four-strand mixed-metal necklace that arrives already stacked. The shortest layer is a 14.25 in (36.2 cm) silver Cuban curb choker closed with a gold U-shaped carabiner; a hammered gold disc with a white enamel eye and a small eight-point starburst hang from that clasp. Below it sit a gold paperclip chain, a two-tone gold-and-silver box chain, and a finer gold box chain that ends at 15.22 in (38.7 cm) with a north-star charm and a slim gold spike. A 2 in (5.1 cm) extender lets you drop the whole stack slightly. The metal is gold-tone and silver-tone plating over alloy steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShortest layer: 14.25 in (36.2 cm) silver Cuban curb chain with a gold U-shaped carabiner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLongest layer: 15.22 in (38.7 cm) gold box chain with north-star and spike charms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtender: 2 in (5.1 cm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: four pre-joined strands — Cuban, paperclip, two-tone box, and gold box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: gold-tone and silver-tone plating over alloy steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosure: gold U-shaped carabiner on the choker\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCharms: hammered enamel eye disc, eight-point starburst, north-star, gold spike\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the eye disc and mixed-metal stack\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe round disc uses an almond-shaped enamel eye, a motif that has appeared in Mediterranean and West Asian jewelry as a decorative symbol traditionally associated with protective ideas. On this necklace it is a styling element, not a promised result. The mixed gold and silver tones are the other half of the design: the carabiner, paperclip chain, starburst, north-star, and spike read as gold against the silver Cuban choker and the two-tone box chain. The north-star charm has a small crystal-like centre in the photos; that is a surface look, not a named gemstone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow it sits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the four strands are already joined, you put on one necklace rather than building a stack. The 14.25 in Cuban layer sits at the base of the neck on most people; the 15.22 in gold box layer lands just below it, so the spike hangs at the collarbone. Use the 2 in extender when you want the stack a little lower over a crew neck or knit. It reads clearly at an open collar and still works over a plain tee because the eye disc and spike give the stack two focal points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGold-tone and silver-tone plating over alloy steel keeps its colour for months to a year with dry storage. Daily showering, swimming, or heavy sweat can dull the plating within weeks. Once the plating wears through, the alloy steel base is exposed and those spots can darken or react with sweat. Put the necklace on after perfume and lotion have dried, take it off before water, and store it dry and on its own so the carabiner and spike do not rub other pieces. We recommend keeping this stack dry because plated gold- and silver-tone finishes wear fastest in water, and we ship every order from our Shenzhen warehouse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 600; font-size: 15px; color: #333; margin-bottom: 4px;\"\u003eQ: Will this necklace turn my neck green?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: While the plating is intact you are wearing the gold- and silver-tone surface, not raw steel. If that plating wears through after long or wet wear, the alloy steel underneath can react with sweat and leave a mark. Keeping the stack dry is what avoids that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 600; font-size: 15px; color: #333; margin-bottom: 4px;\"\u003eQ: Can I shower, swim, or work out in it?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No. Take it off before showering, swimming, and workouts. Water, soap, and sweat are what dull plated finishes fastest on this piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 600; font-size: 15px; color: #333; margin-bottom: 4px;\"\u003eQ: How long does the gold and silver plating last?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: Dry storage and dry wear keep the two-tone finish for months to a year. Daily water exposure can dull it within weeks, and worn-through spots then show the alloy steel base.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 600; font-size: 15px; color: #333; margin-bottom: 4px;\"\u003eQ: How does it fit, and can I add or remove layers?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: The shortest strand is 14.25 in and sits as a choker; the longest is 15.22 in and hangs just below, with a 2 in extender if you want it lower. The four strands are pre-joined, so you cannot split them into separate necklaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-bottom: 16px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 600; font-size: 15px; color: #333; margin-bottom: 4px;\"\u003eQ: Is the gold ring a lobster clasp?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA: No. The closure on the silver Cuban choker is a gold U-shaped carabiner. The paperclip, two-tone box, and gold box strands hang from that same stack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"AkashicStone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50448967172310,"sku":"824625717328","price":19.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0766\/9052\/2326\/files\/mixed-metal-layered-charm-necklace-model-front-2.jpg?v=1789742288","url":"https:\/\/akashicstone.com\/fr\/products\/mixed-metal-layered-charm-necklace","provider":"AkashicStone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
