Tiny jewelry gifts

Almost everything here is a necklace or a bracelet, and almost everything here is plated rather than solid, which is the single fact that decides whether a person is still wearing it next summer. Plating is a coat measured in microns over brass or steel: it is not a lie, it is a thickness, and a chain worn in a shower every day wears through it faster than one taken off at night. Steel underneath survives that; brass underneath goes green on some skins. The other figure to read is the chain length, because sixteen inches sits at the base of a throat and eighteen sits below it, and the difference is the whole look of the thing. If the present is for a child rather than an adult, the shelf to use is the one with the clasp described: a lobster clasp opens under a snag and a soldered ring does not.

Everything on this shelf is one of necklace, bracelet or earrings, and the Tiny Gifts selection keeps the price, the pack count and the widest measurement on every card so the sums are done before you order.
