It says something quietly: two people, two birth months, or simply a color you love with a little extra sparkle beside it. The larger stone comes in hessonite garnet, African amethyst, green onyx or white zircon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmooth bezel edges.\u003c\/strong\u003e A thin metal rim circles each stone, so nothing snags on knits or hair.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCollarbone length chain.\u003c\/strong\u003e It opens from 15 out to 18 inches, from the hollow of the throat to the collarbone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStays centered.\u003c\/strong\u003e The pair links to the chain at both sides, so it faces forward instead of spinning.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eA Two Stone Necklace with Meaning\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA two stone necklace is often chosen to stand for two people, a couple, a parent and child, two best friends, and the uneven pair here, one larger stone and one small accent, keeps that idea from feeling too literal. It works just as well as a self purchase, with the clear accent acting like a highlight next to the color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSeveral of the stones double as birthstones: garnet marks January, amethyst February, and white zircon is one of December's stones. Green onyx suits anyone after a clear, grassy green.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat 18K Gold Plating Means\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesiregem lists the metal as 18K gold plated brass, a layer of gold over a brass base rather than solid gold. The gold on the surface is real, and the brass underneath gives the piece its shape and keeps it light, about 2.9 grams in all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlating lasts longest when it meets fewer chemicals, so \u003cstrong\u003eput it on after lotion and perfume, and it keeps its color longer\u003c\/strong\u003e. Take it off for swimming and workouts, and run a soft cloth over it before it goes back in its pouch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy a Bezel Setting Matters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProngs show more of a stone, while a bezel trades a little sparkle for comfort and a clean outline. The rim protects the edge of the 5mm stone, roughly a fifth of an inch across, and \u003cstrong\u003egives each gem a thin line of gold plating that makes it look slightly larger\u003c\/strong\u003e than it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo Stone Bezel Necklace Choices\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs gold plating real gold?\u003c\/strong\u003e The surface layer is real 18K gold, applied over brass, so it is gold colored metal on the outside but not solid gold all the way through. Treat it kindly and it keeps that warm color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich stone suits a January birthday?\u003c\/strong\u003e Hessonite garnet, the January birthstone, which shows here as a deep reddish brown beside the clear accent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it sit too high on a crew neck?\u003c\/strong\u003e At 15 inches it rests just above a crew collar; set it at 18 and it moves down onto the collarbone, which suits open necklines better.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Desiregem","offers":[{"title":"Hessonite Garnet","offer_id":67639412064557,"sku":"TGN1007_A","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"African Amethyst","offer_id":67639412654381,"sku":"TGN1007_B","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Green Onyx","offer_id":67639412687149,"sku":"TGN1007_C","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"White Zircon","offer_id":67639412719917,"sku":"TGN1007_D","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0667\/4553\/2717\/files\/desiregem-two-stone-bezel-necklace-gold-plated-1.jpg?v=1791916552","url":"https:\/\/aysire.com\/products\/two-stone-bezel-necklace-gold-plated","provider":"Aysire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
