Simulated Peridot Baby Shoe Pendant Necklace with CZ in Sterling Silver. 18"

STERLING SILVER: Also known as "Standard Silver," sterling silver is silver alloyed with other metals to increase the hardness and durability. Generally, sterling is 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals. Some sterling silver jewelry is plated with 14kt-18kt gold and referred to as "vermeil," or "gold over sterling."

SATIN: A finish with a smooth, frost-like appearance. Is soft to the touch, but doesn't have the same mirror-like shine as a polished piece.

CABLE: One of the most popular and classic of chain styles, created from interlocking oval links unvarying in size.

SPRINGRING CLASP: Invented in the early 1900s this diminutive device is highly effective. It's a hollow circular metal fastener with a spring opening. This keeps the clasp closed.

SIMULATED GEMSTONE: A simulated gemstone is an artificial stone made from manmade materials, such as glass, acrylic, and plastic. Known as "faux stones," they can be used in place of any gemstone imaginable to create the same look for less. Typically used in fashion jewelry, they come in all colors and in varying degrees of transparency and opacity.

TRILLION: A variety of the modified brilliant-cut, sometimes called "trilliant" or "trillian." Features a faceted triangular shape, sometimes with curved edges.

CUBIC ZIRCONIA: once called the poor cousin to the diamond, CZs have since become a fashion statement in their own right. Perfect for travel and a little extra bling, CZ Jewelry is one of man's flawless creations.

BRILLIANT: A gemstone cut to enhance brilliance without sacrificing much carat weight. Typically has 58 facets.
