This pendant is a stack of two distinct geometric shapes. There's a small, faceted bead that sits right on top of a larger, flat pentagon. This construction gives the necklace a bit of depth and an architectural quality that I find really interesting.
A fine 14K gold cable chain holds the two-part pendant. The top piece is a small, faceted gold bead that catches light from several different angles. It connects to the main pendant below: a flat, five-sided plate of polished gold. We've set one of the bottom corners with a small triangle of pavé cubic zirconia. The tiny stones give a specific point of sparkle and texture against the smooth, warm gold.
We make this entire necklace from solid 14 karat gold, not gold-plating. It’s 58.3% pure gold alloyed with other metals for durability, which means it’s strong enough to resist the dents and scratches of daily life. Solid gold won't tarnish or turn your skin a different colour, even after years of wear. The stones are high-grade cubic zirconia, which we use because their bright, clear sparkle provides a nice contrast to the warm yellow of the gold.
- Material: Solid 14K Gold
- Stones: Cubic Zirconia
- Sold as: Single necklace
I think people choose this necklace because it’s geometric without being severe. The flat pentagon lies nicely against the skin, while the smaller bead on top gives it dimension. It's a structured design that feels substantial but is still light enough that you'll forget you're wearing it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the small pavé stones on the Aurelian Pentad Necklace fall out easily?
A: It’s unlikely the stones will fall out with normal wear. They are set using a pavé technique, where tiny beads of gold are pushed over the edge of each stone to hold it securely in place. This method is quite durable, and the necklace comes with a two-year warranty that covers manufacturing defects.
Q: Can I shower or work out while wearing my 14k gold Aurelian Pentad Necklace?
A: Yes, you can shower and work out in this necklace. Solid 14K gold is durable and won't be damaged by water or sweat. However, we recommend avoiding chlorinated pools or hot tubs, as harsh chemicals can react with the alloys in the gold over time and dull its finish.
Q: How does the Aurelian Pentad Necklace pendant sit when worn?
A: The pendant is designed to lie flat against your chest. The bail is attached to the back of the top geometric bead, which allows the larger pentagon piece to hang straight down. Its weight and flat profile keep it from twisting or flipping over as you move.
Q: What happens if I want to return my Aurelian Pentad Necklace?
A: You can return the necklace within 30 days of receiving it for a full refund, provided it's in its original condition. Just send an email to returns@vanhess.ca, and we’ll provide you with a prepaid shipping label and instructions for the return.
