On a Set Pendant the Base Matters Even More

A fully set design depends on the settings around the stones. Silver is soft enough to close them tightly and hard enough to hold them in place, which is why it has been the standard material for setting work for centuries. And unlike a coated base of non-precious metal, if wear does occur no other metal appears: underneath there is simply silver.

The Four-Leaf Clover

The clover shape has an advantage a cross or a letter does not: it is instantly recognizable by its silhouette from a distance, even when you cannot pick out the individual stones. So the pendant looks like a clover at any distance rather than a patch of light. That also makes it one of the few pieces that lends itself naturally as a gift with a message.

Which Chain Goes With It

At 3.8 cm tall the pendant has enough weight to ask for a sturdier chain. A box or Cuban of 2mm to 3mm is the safe base; on a finer chain the pendant pulls the line out of shape. Choose the same silver tone so pendant and chain match in color.

Care

Silver without a coating tarnishes over time: air and sweat darken it. A silver cloth removes that, but use it only on the silver, not over the stones. Take the pendant off before the pool, the shower and sport and store it dry. Chlorine from the pool damages silver permanently. Dust and soap collect in the setting, and that is what dulls the sparkle first. A dry, soft toothbrush lifts it out. Do not use an ultrasonic bath or abrasives.
