This tactile necklace is a handmade chain in tube form. Very comfortable for everyday wear, the necklace is strong and durable. The chain is entirely handmade, every loop is shaped, joined, soldered and then given a subtle hammer finish which catches the light beautifully.
The clasp is a very strong magnet which is super easy to put on as the two halves of the magnet find each other and snap together. Information on the Langer clasps;

Rolled gold, which is also known as gold filled is a material that has 1/20th of 14ct gold content by weight. The material is made by pressure bonding multiple layers of solid 14ct gold to a core of high quality jeweller's brass, creating a durable material which has a high quantity of gold. Rolled gold must have at least 5% gold content, this is a much thicker layer than gold plated jewellery. Rolled gold has around 100 times more gold than gold plated jewellery, this thick layer of gold does not wear off. Rolled gold is hypoallergenic and should not cause a problem for anyone with skin sensitivities.

Cleaning Instructions
With time, all Sterling Silver jewellery will eventually tarnish. Regular washing in warm water and liquid soap will help slow down this process. Keeping your jewellery stored out of daylight will also help.
To remove the tarnish you can easily clean your jewellery at home using the following very effective method;
1. Line a bowl with kitchen foil, shiny side up.
2. Add one tablespoon of bicarbonate of soda (sodium bicarbonate) and one tablespoon of salt.
3. Add hot water.
4. Add your jewellery making sure it is touching the foil and leave for 5-10 minutes.
For a deep clean please send your jewellery back to me and I will barrel polish your items free of charge (return postage charge only).
For oxidised silver jewellery, simply regularly wash with cool water and liquid soap. When oxidised silver is new you may notice some of the black colour rubs off onto the skin, this only happens for the first few wears. Wash the jewellery before wear to help prevent this. The black colour will eventually fade to a steely grey which is lovely, however if you prefer to have the jewellery re-oxidised just pop it in the post to me for a colour refresh.
All carats of gold and gold filled jewellery will need very little attention, simply clean with warm water and liquid soap.
