About this piece
The Family Pendant in 24ct gold plate over solid sterling silver. Lou engraves the swallow and hallmark into the silver, then double-plates in gold. The warm tone gives the swallow a different weight — same design, different presence.

Care
Sterling silver underneath, plated with 24ct gold — the purest gold available for plating — in a double layer by a specialist plater in Adelaide.
With normal wear, expect the gold to hold for 1–2 years before a replate, which Lou offers at cost.
Treat it like silver, but gentler: remove before swimming, showering or the gym. The gold layer is thin by nature.
