Metal: Solid 9ct Yellow Gold
Size: 2.2cm
Approx Weight: 5.4 grams
Hallmarked: Yes

A top quality and fabulously detailed round St Christopher medal pendant with a mix of brushed and highly polished gold. This pendant is 2.2cm in diameter and is made from solid 9ct gold. We can engrave a message on the reverse of this pendant if required or we can leave it plain.

If you would like to purchase the chain in the photos to pair with this pendant, please also add our solid 9ct yellow gold spiga chain necklace to your basket - this chain is heavy enough to support the pendant, and you do need a chain which is at least half the pendant's weight.

Symbolism of St Christopher

Saint Christopher is the patron saint travellers, drivers and sailors. The symbol of Saint Christopher is therefore a protective talisman when away from the home - whether worn as a pendant, a bracelet or even tucked away in a purse.

Yes it probably will. Sterling silver and 9ct yellow gold both develop tarnish (the product of a chemical reaction), and this can happen quite quickly or slowly over time. Tarnish can look dark, discoloured or patchy and sometimes like a top layer of the metal is coming away - be assured it is not.

Tarnish tends to happen most quickly when the jewellery comes into contact with:

• Moisture
• Chlorine / Pool / Hot Tub Chemicals
• Shampoos/Body Wash
• Sun Cream
• Perfumes, Moisturisers & Cosmetics
• Household Cleaning Products
• Insect Repellent
• Perspiration & Humidity (this one can be difficult to avoid)

Light tarnish can be removed effectively from sterling silver and 9ct yellow gold with a dedicated dry polishing cloth and we recommend the Town Talk brand. They have cloths for silver and gold.

If the tarnish is heavy or stubborn, a clean with a Cape Cod fine metal polishing cloth first (these are wet), followed by the dry Town Talk cloth afterwards, can work wonders.

Always clean your jewellery gently and sparingly. Never polish plated jewellery - clean with a microfibre cloth only. Treat white gold as plated jewellery and be cautious with rose gold. Sterling silver plated in rhodium will also not polish well.

If you are struggling to remove stubborn tarnish, we are always happy to clean jewellery purchased from us provided you cover the postage in both directions. Please send us a friendly email to let us know.
