2" handmade hammered brass pendant with 16" of gold-filled chain. Jeweller's brass (sometimes called Nu-Gold) is a high-quality brass that, when kept polished, closely resembles 14k gold. If you don't mind a little upkeep, brass is a longer-lasting alternative to gold plating. The gold-fill chain is make by pressure-bonding real gold to a brass core, and unlike gold plating (which wears off in time), gold fill can last decades if well cared for. This piece comes with care instructions and a sample polishing cloth for the pendant.
