Description

Have you or someone in your life had a pause in your life? In a sentence a semicolon represents a momentary pause and the ampersand is the Latin symbol for and. In life there can be a pause, but what comes next? This necklace represents the pauses in life, we sometimes find ourselves in followed by the “and” – the what comes next. You can have pain AND joy in life. You can have trial AND blessings at the same time.

You are the author of your own beautiful life story.

I often wear this ampersand necklace in honor of living life with anxiety – reminding myself of how many “ands” there can be in life.

This ampersand necklace was designed to support, uplift and remind someone in their journey that life is filled with pauses, often followed by beautiful stories.

This necklace is made with a thick 6mm (1/2 inch) disc stamped with an ampersand with all gold filled and sterling silver materials. It comes on a jewelry card explaining the meaning behind the necklace.

This necklace is made with a 6mm (1/4 inch) disc with gold filled, rose gold filled and sterling silver materials in order to last for years to come.

The Details

Gold filled and rose gold filled jewelry contains 100% more real gold than gold plated jewelry. Gold filled jewelry is made with a thick layer of real solid 14k gold. Gold filled jewelry has the advantage of being tarnish resistant and durable. It does not flake off, rub off or turn colors, and can easily be worn by people with sensitive skin.

Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver and considered a precious metal. The remaining 7.5% of the alloy is usually copper, adding strength while preserving the appearance of the pure silver. Sterling silver is also okay for most sensitive skin.

Both sterling silver and gold filled jewelry will tarnish less if stored appropriately – in something airtight – and kept clean and dry. I have found that the more I wear my sterling silver jewelry, the less it tarnishes.

All sterling silver and gold filled jewelry will come with an anti tarnish paper and a polishing cloth to help with the care of your jewelry purchased through GiGisPetals. Jewelry that tarnishes can easily be repolished and look as good as new!

All of our necklaces are made with gold filled or sterling silver lobster clasps.
