Perfect length. It does not irritate my neck like some chains

Absolutely beautiful piece! I always love anything I get from Louise Carter. It holds up great against daily use, wear and tear, as promised.

Thanks so much for your feedback. We’re so glad you’re happy with your piece and hope you enjoy wearing it ✨
Pretty necklace! Unfortunately when trying to layer necklaces, none of them are long enough to actually do so! I am in my 50’s and do not have a neck of a twenty year old like the models show. So a 16 inch necklace looks like it’s choking me!

Love this necklace…never take it off, even in the hot tub!

This was the perfect length to layer with the other pearl pendant necklace that I purchased from LC. I will continue to observe the durability of this necklace because I plan to wear it often.

I was waiting to do a review until I went to the beach. All my pieces still look brand new. I shower in them, sleep in them and even went to the beach in them. Excited to purchase more!

Shorter nexklace length and the pearl is a lot smaller than i thought it owuld be. But it is really pretty and i have already worn it to church where it had me feeling pretty and pure
This necklace is a very pretty piece. It's well-made, simple yet noticeable. I wear it a lot and leave it on for days at a time. It is a classic piece to have on hand.
Yes — shower, ocean, pool, gym. Our pieces are 316L surgical-grade stainless steel fused with 18k gold, so water, sweat, lotion and perfume can't touch them.
Will it tarnish or turn my skin green?
No. Unlike plated jewelry, fused gold doesn't flake, fade or oxidize — and it's nickel-free and lead-free, so it's safe for the most sensitive skin. If it ever tarnishes, our Lifetime Color Warranty replaces it free.
How long does shipping take?
US orders arrive in 3–7 business days with tracking sent within 24–48 hours. Free shipping on orders over $65.
What if it doesn't fit or I don't love it?
30-day free returns and exchanges — no hoops, no restocking fees.
