The long, tapered cut of this stone is designed to pull light down its length, creating a single, sharp flash of pink. It's a different kind of sparkle than you get from a multi-faceted gem; more like a sliver of liquid light.
A fine, 14k rose gold link chain holds a single, tapered stone. The gem is a deep, saturated fuchsia, cut long and narrow like a baguette but wider at the top than the bottom. It's held in place by two smooth, polished gold caps, one at each end. The top cap connects to a simple bail that slides along the chain. The whole piece has a bright, high-polish finish.
We make this pendant from solid 14k gold, not plated or filled. It’s an alloy made of 58.3% pure gold mixed with other metals, which gives it that warm rose colour and makes it strong enough for daily wear. Because it’s solid gold through-and-through, the colour won't ever rub off or fade. It's also a good choice if you have sensitive skin, as it's less likely to cause a reaction than lower-karat golds or plated jewellery.

People choose this pendant for its clean, architectural lines. It's not a soft or round shape. The sharp, vertical bar of colour is modern and direct, and it hangs with a nice weight. It’s a simple form, but the unusual tapered cut makes it feel considered and specific.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the long stone on the Lighthouse Pendant chip or break easily?
The stone is securely set and quite durable for everyday wear, but like any long, narrow gemstone, it can be vulnerable to hard impacts on its corners or edges. We recommend taking it off before doing any heavy lifting or activities where it might get knocked against a hard surface.
Can I shower or sleep with my 14k gold Lighthouse Pendant on?
Yes, you can shower in your solid 14k gold pendant. Gold itself isn't harmed by water. However, soaps and shampoos can build up over time, dulling the stone and metal. It's also best to take it off before sleeping to prevent the chain from tangling or catching.
How does the Lighthouse Pendant sit on the collarbone? Does it flip over?
The pendant is designed to lie flat against the skin. Its weight and the way the bail is attached help keep it oriented correctly, so it doesn't tend to flip over during normal wear. The smooth, polished back feels comfortable directly on the skin or over a fine-knit top.
What happens if I want to return the Lighthouse Pendant after I receive it?
