This pendant is a tiny cage of solid gold, built around a star-like shape held within a hexagonal frame. It’s a design of mostly open space, so light passes right through it, catching on the different facets as you move.
A fine, polished 14-karat gold cable chain holds a small geometric pendant. The pendant itself is an open, cage-like structure with a hexagonal outline. Inside this frame, you can see a complex, star-like shape made of intersecting lines and triangles. The entire piece is polished, so every one of those thin gold lines catches the light. It’s a delicate piece, but the geometry gives it a solid presence.
We make this from solid 14-karat gold, not plated or filled. It’s an alloy made of 58.3% pure gold mixed with copper and other metals to get that warm rose colour and add strength. The higher alloy content is important for a design like this, which means the delicate wireframe structure is strong enough for daily wear and won't easily bend out of shape. And because it's solid gold all the way through, the colour will never fade, and it's a safe choice for sensitive skin.

People choose this necklace when they want something with geometric complexity that doesn't feel heavy. Because the pendant is a wireframe, it’s incredibly lightweight and sits flat against the skin, but its three-dimensional shape gives it more presence than a simple flat charm.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the open cage of the Octagonal Sphere Necklace get caught on my sweaters?
The Octagonal Sphere Necklace can occasionally snag on loose-knit fabrics because of its open, geometric design. The connections are smooth, but the points of the star can catch. We recommend being mindful when wearing it with delicate knits or putting it on after you've dressed.
Is it safe to shower while wearing my 14k gold Octagonal Sphere Necklace?
Yes, you can shower with your 14k gold necklace. Solid gold isn't damaged by water, but soaps and shampoos can leave a film that dulls the shine over time. To keep it bright, it's best to take it off before showering or to clean it regularly.
How do I know where the Octagonal Sphere Necklace will sit on my chest?
The final placement depends on the chain length you choose. A 16-inch chain typically sits at the collarbone, while an 18-inch chain will rest a bit lower on the upper chest. We suggest using a piece of string to measure where you'd like the 15mm pendant to fall.
What happens if I want to return the Octagonal Sphere Necklace?
You can return the necklace within 30 days of purchase for a full refund, as long as it's in its original condition. Just send an email to returns@vanhess.ca, and we’ll reply with a prepaid shipping label to make the process easy for you.
How long does free shipping to the US or Canada take for the Octagonal Sphere Necklace?
Free shipping on qualifying orders typically takes between 5 to 15 business days to arrive in Canada and the US. You'll receive a tracking number once your order is dispatched so you can follow its journey from our Coquitlam studio to your home.
