Hematite Heart Lock Pendant Necklace
- Description
Hematite is prized by jewelry lovers for its unique steel-gray gloss, which pairs very well with silver or gold. For this limited-edition pendant necklace, we made a sculptural heart-shaped cabochon hematite and attached it to a 14K yellow gold faux shackle bale to simulate a heart-shaped padlock. Hematite is believed to bring its wearer/owner a sense of protection, healing and comfort. Bold enough to make a statement when worn by itself, but also perfect for layering with other necklaces. Comes with a dainty 18” 1.6mm cable chain in recycled 14K yellow gold that secures with a spring ring clasp. (Please take note that although this pendant is inspired by the look of a padlock, it does not function as one; the shackle is fixed and does not release, and there are no locking mechanisms inside the stone.)

FAQs
How do I take care of the gemstones in my RIVA New York piece?
A simple but effective way to clean your gemstone jewelry or the gemstones in your jewelry is by using lukewarm water with a few drops of dish detergent. You may use a soft brush (and old toothbrush, for example) to scrub gently, especially behind the stone where dust and dirt can collect, and once you’re done scrubbing you just rinse in it lukewarm water and then pat dry with a soft cloth. (Please be mindful of the metals used in your piece; see sections above to read up on instructions and contraindications for cleaning 14K gold, sterling silver and gold vermeil jewelry.) If your piece does not require a deep clean, and you just need to, say, dust it, we recommend using a small handheld air blower (e.g., the ones that photographers use to clean their lenses). It is best to take off your gemstone jewelry when taking a shower, swimming, and especially when cleaning, washing dishes, etc.
I am purchasing this item as a gift. Is there a way for me to include a personal note with the shipment?

Is this style available in sterling silver or gold vermeil?
No. Because this is a limited-edition piece, it is not available in sterling silver or gold vermeil. Most of RIVA New York's limited-edition pieces are only available in recycled 14K yellow gold.
