This pendant has two distinct faces. From the front, you see a clean, graphic pattern of black and white. But as it moves, you catch a glimpse of the intricate gold latticework hidden on the inside of the ring.
A solid gold paperclip chain passes through the centre of a wheel-shaped pendant. The pendant’s outer surface is a checkerboard of solid black and white enamel blocks. Between each block is a thin, recessed line of pavé-set diamonds that catch the light. The inner wall of the pendant isn't solid; it’s an open, geometric lattice of gold that adds depth and reduces weight.
We make this piece from solid 14K gold, which is 58.3% pure gold. The other metals in the alloy give it strength, which means it’s durable enough for you to wear without worrying about dents or scratches. The colour comes from certified enamel—powdered glass that’s fused to the gold with intense heat. This creates a hard, smooth surface with a permanent colour that won't fade or peel. If you'd prefer a different enamel colour, just let us know.
- Material: 14K Solid Gold
- Details: Certified black and white enamel, pavé diamonds
- Chain Style: Paperclip

Unlike a flat stamped pendant, this piece has a satisfying three-dimensional quality. It’s constructed like a small wheel, so it has depth and looks considered from every angle. The openwork interior keeps it from feeling heavy, giving it a noticeable presence without weighing you down.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the enamel on my Enamel Pendant chip or crack easily?
No, it's very durable for daily wear. The certified enamel is essentially coloured glass that has been fused to the gold, creating a hard, non-porous surface that resists scratches and won't chip from normal use. We do recommend avoiding hard impacts, like dropping it on a tile floor.
Can I wear my 14K gold Enamel Pendant in the shower?
Yes, you can safely wear solid 14K gold jewellery in the shower. Water won't harm the gold or the enamel. We do suggest taking it off before swimming in chlorinated pools or hot tubs, as repeated exposure to harsh chemicals can dull the finish over time.
Does the Enamel Pendant slide on the chain or is it fixed in place?
The pendant slides freely along the paperclip chain. It's not fixed to one spot, which allows it to move with you and naturally settle at the centre of your neckline. This design lets you see the different angles of the piece as you wear it.
