### SECTION 1 — HOOK
This isn't just an unbroken line of stones. We've spaced out these polished, gold-plated X-motifs along the chain. They break up the continuous sparkle and add a bit of solid, polished metal against the faceted stones.
### SECTION 2 — WHAT YOU SEE
This is a flexible tennis-style chain made from a continuous line of small, round-cut cubic zirconia. Each stone is held in a four-prong, gold-plated setting. The line of stones is interrupted at five points by polished, X-shaped links that connect the segments. The necklace is photographed in a gentle curve, showing how it would drape across the collarbone, with the gold and stones catching the light.
### SECTION 3 — CRAFTSMANSHIP
The core of this necklace is solid 925 sterling silver, which gives it a nice weight and durability. We then plate it with a thick layer of 14K gold—that’s an alloy made of 58.3% pure gold, so you get the genuine colour and shine. On top of that, we add a clear E-coating, which is an electrically-bonded layer that seals the plating and helps protect it from tarnish and scratches. The stones are high-grade cubic zirconia, individually set.

### SECTION 5 — WHY THIS PIECE
You'll choose this if you like the idea of a tennis necklace but want something a little less conventional. The X-shaped stations break it up, making it feel less formal than an unbroken circle of stones. It's a good middle ground between a simple chain and full-on sparkle.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the gold plating on the Diamond Whisper Necklace wear off over time?
The 14K gold plating can wear over time, especially with heavy use. We add a clear E-coating over the gold to significantly slow this process and protect against tarnish. To prolong its life, we suggest removing it before activities that cause friction, like sleeping or working out.
Is it safe to shower or swim with my 14K gold plated Diamond Whisper Necklace?
We recommend removing your necklace before showering or swimming. Chemicals in soaps, shampoos, and chlorine can degrade the gold plating and the E-coating over time, which will shorten the life of the piece. It’s best to keep it dry to maintain its finish.
How does the 2-inch extender on the Diamond Whisper Necklace work for adjusting the fit?
The necklace has a base length of 15 inches, and the extra 2 inches of chain allow you to fasten the clasp at any point along it, up to a total length of 17 inches. This lets you wear it as a choker or looser on the collarbone.
What do I do if I want to return the Diamond Whisper Necklace within the 30-day window?
You can return your necklace within 30 days of receiving it for a full refund. Just email us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll send you a prepaid shipping label. The piece must be in its original, unworn condition with all the packaging.
