The pendant is built from baguette-cut stones set at different angles, so it's not a flat shape. It hangs from two points on the chain, which keeps the cluster centred and prevents it from flipping over as you move.
The pendant is an asymmetrical cluster of four baguette-cut and two round-cut cubic zirconia stones. They're stacked and angled to create a three-dimensional shape, not a flat one. The baguettes are held in polished gold channels, and the smaller round stones are secured with tiny prongs. Light catches the long, straight facets of the baguettes differently than the brilliant facets of the rounds. The whole cluster hangs from a fine, gold cable chain.
We make this necklace from solid 14k gold, which is 58.3% pure gold mixed with other alloys for strength. It's a good balance for jewellery you'll wear often, which means it won't easily bend or scratch. Solid gold also won't tarnish or turn your skin funny colours, even with constant wear. The stones are high-grade cubic zirconia, cut to look like diamonds but without the high cost. They're very hard and will stay clear and bright.

This necklace is for when a simple solitaire feels a bit too traditional. The mix of rectangular baguette cuts with small rounds gives it a geometric, architectural look. It's a small piece, but the staggered, multi-level setting gives it more presence on the skin than a flat pendant would.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the prongs on the Nova Baguette Necklace catch on my sweaters or hair?
The round stones are held by small, low-profile prongs that we polish smooth to minimize snagging. While any prong setting can potentially catch on delicate knits, we've designed these to sit as flush as possible. The baguettes are channel-set, which means they have no prongs at all.
Is it safe to wear my 14k gold Nova necklace in the shower or while I sleep?
Yes, you can wear it in the shower. Solid 14k gold won't be damaged by water. However, we recommend taking it off before sleeping. The fine chain can get tangled or stressed, and the pendant could press uncomfortably against your skin over a long period.
How can I adjust the length of the Nova Baguette Necklace to layer it with other chains?
The necklace comes on an 18-inch chain with an extra loop at the 19-inch mark, giving you two length options. This lets you position the pendant slightly higher or lower on your collarbone to make space for other necklaces or to suit different necklines.
