EVERU Cross Birthstone Necklace

Three numbers decide this one and all three are on the card. The chain is 17.7 inches, which lands in the hollow of the throat on most adults, and the two-inch extender drops it to the collarbone where a pendant clears a crew neck instead of hiding behind it. The whole piece weighs 3.2 grams. Light is right here: a heavier cross on a fine chain saws at the back of the neck and turns face-in every few steps.

The finish is not only silver. A bright white plated layer sits over the sterling, which is what gives the cross its glare next to a matt chain, and a plated layer wears at whatever edge rubs. Underneath it is still 925, and it polishes like any other sterling piece. Twelve months, one design: the stone is a cut zirconia in the colour of that month, and the month you choose at the till is the one that arrives.
