The base is made from strong and lasting metals such as brass, copper, or alloy, chosen for their ability to retain shape and withstand daily wear. These metals are often electroplated with gold, rose gold, or rhodium for a rich finish that resists tarnishing and enhances the pendant’s shine. The design options are vast—ranging from minimalist single-stone solitaires to floral patterns, heart shapes, ethnic motifs, or contemporary geometric styles.
