Why you can trust it
- Solid 925 sterling silver. The real metal all the way through, not a coating.
- Any detail of this piece can change. The stone, its colour and cut, the metal finish, the size, the engraving, the proportions — because it is cast after you order, nothing here is fixed. Ask for the changes you want before you buy. Change enough and it stops being this design and becomes yours, at no extra cost beyond what the new piece takes to make.
- Every stone is lab-created and named. No mystery stones, no natural-stone pricing games.
- Gold is a finish over real silver. The gold or rose-gold is plating over the sterling — never a hidden karat claim, never plated brass.
- We tell you how it ages. The dark is an oxidized patina and the gold is a plated layer — both only microns thick. Worn every day, the dark wears brighter on the raised edges while the recesses stay black, and the gold thins where it rubs. The 925 underneath is solid either way.
- Made to order, and protected. Free US shipping, thirty-day returns, and Etsy buyer protection on every order.
- Wearing it on Halloween? Order by September 23 — it is cast after you order, so that is the last day the making and the post office both fit. Intricate casts take longer; ask us first.
Wearing it
Votive sits at the base of the throat and reads warm against black, the rose-gold heart the only colour on a dark shirt. The thorn crown keeps it from reading sweet. Wear it alone on the chain it comes with, or lower on a longer one over a high collar.
