This is a very pretty lariat-style necklace that is solid sterling silver that has been plated with yellow gold. Sitting at the V of the long 36-inch chain is the head of a horse adorned with four natural white zircon stones. The chain is a double chain so the necklace is actually 72 inches of sterling silver vermeil. Yellow gold vermeil is a premium jewelry finish that only uses genuine gold and precious sterling silver. The coating of yellow gold is 2.5 microns thick. Yellow gold vermeil prevents tarnishing, increases the metal-life, and offers a shining finish. It has a lobster claw clasp that is stamped 925 and the horse is stamped 925 and signed. This lovely necklace will come boxed in its original box with a white ribbon bow. It will make a great gift for some lucky horse-lover.
