Frequently Asked Questions about Mothers Pendants & Necklaces
What is the difference between 9K, 14K and 18K gold?
9K gold contains approximately 37.5% pure gold, 14K gold contains about 58.5% pure gold, and 18K gold contains about 75% pure gold. The higher the karat level, the more luxurious and richer the gold color appears. However, the higher the purity, the softer and more delicate the metal becomes.
In terms of durability, lower-karat gold contains a higher percentage of alloy metals, which makes it more resistant in daily use. In yellow or rose gold with lower karat levels, slight darkening may occur over time, especially when exposed to moisture, sweat, perfume, or chemicals. This tarnish can usually be removed easily with professional cleaning or polishing. Additionally, lower-karat jewelry may be more sensitive to scratches or cracks when exposed to substances like chlorine.
What does solid gold or real gold mean?
Solid gold, also known as real gold, refers to jewelry made throughout from a genuine gold alloy, such as 9K, 14K, or 18K. Unlike gold-plated jewelry, it is not made from another metal covered with a thin layer of gold. The gold alloy runs throughout the entire piece, not only on its outer surface. This makes solid gold jewelry high-quality, durable, and suitable for long-term wear.
Is the gold in the jewelry real?
Yes. The jewelry is crafted from genuine gold using a full casting process, not plating or imitation materials. The entire piece is made of solid gold throughout, including its inner structure, ensuring durability and long-lasting quality.
Does the jewelry come with certification or warranty?
Diamond jewelry comes with a certificate detailing the quality and specifications of the stones and materials. Gold jewelry includes a hallmark indicating the gold karat level.

How does the pendant style affect the recommended necklace length?
The type and size of the pendant have a major impact on the most suitable chain length. Delicate pendants such as solitaire diamonds, small symbols, initials, or minimalist designs are typically best paired with shorter chains around 16.5 inches for women, creating an elegant, refined, and close-to-neck appearance.
On the other hand, larger pendants or pendants that hang from a visible bail generally look more balanced and natural on longer chains. In many cases, 18 inches works well for women, while a minimum of 20 inches is commonly preferred for slimmer men, and around 22 inches is considered an average and comfortable length for a more relaxed fit.
