Jenelle Sun is made with two different metals. Chain is hypoallergenic stainless steel base which is gold Ion Plated with 18k gold. (more info about this type of plating see below). Chain is 30'' long and has 2'' of extender chain for adjustable length. It is box type of chain.
Sun pendant is made of Zinc Alloy ( lead and nickel free ) and also gold plated with genuine gold. Pendant is 2 1/2 inches in diameter or 6.5 cm.
Jenelle is definitely a statement bohemian piece with a Sun like mandala. This kind of necklace can be worn by itself in its full length or wrapped around twice for a simple chain choker and pendant necklace below. With this length of the chain you can really play with layering other pieces and express your unique style. We definitely had this in mind designing all the other special pieces from Orientalis Collection, as you can see partially in the video. Please take a look at it and find and feel our love that was poured into creation of each of the pieces.

>> What is IP gold plating <<
IP gold plating, also known as Ion Plating (IP), is advanced coating process where vaporized metallic elements, such as gold, are bonded to the surface of another material, typically stainless steel or tungsten. This process is more durable and resistant to scratches and corrosion compared to traditional plating methods.
How IP Gold Plating Works
IP gold plating involves bombarding the surface with atomic-sized energetic particles, which are then bonded to the material. This creates a strong and durable coating that is resistant to wear and tear. The process is commonly used in the jewelry industry, particularly for gold-plated stainless steel items, as it provides a more affordable and lightweight alternative to traditional gold.
Benefits of IP Gold Plating
* Durability: IP gold plating is more resistant to scratches and corrosion compared to traditional plating methods.
* Affordability: Gold ion-plated stainless steel is a more affordable option compared to traditional gold.
* Lightweight: IP gold plating is often used in jewelry and accessories, providing a lightweight and comfortable wear.
* Rust-resistant: The base metal, stainless steel, is rust-resistant, making it a great option for everyday wear.
Conclusion
IP gold plating is a sophisticated coating process that offers a durable, affordable, and lightweight alternative to traditional gold plating. Its benefits make it a popular choice in the jewelry industry, particularly for gold-plated stainless steel items.
