I very much enjoy layering this necklace alongside my other Louise Carter necklace. It’s beautiful and I love how I can leave them on through my workout, swimming, showering, etc. knowing that they will not tarnish. It’s perfect for my “on-the-go” self. I look forward to purchasing more jewelry from Louise Carter!

Thanks so much for your feedback. We’re so glad you’re happy with your piece and hope you enjoy wearing it ✨
My two favorite pieces , don’t take them off at all. I added my cross to the beads necklace and it’s perfect. Quality is A1 , and advertisement is 100% accurate, i use them n the shower, pool and beach and nothing happens, no change in color , its brilliance still like the first day. Best jewelry ever.
P.S I ordered more 😊

I love being able to wear my Louise Carter pieces without worrying about them fading like costume jewelry does. I've lost fine jewelry before because I didn't want to take it off while being active, so I appreciate that this looks great and is easy to replace if a piece goes missing.

Love this simple necklace. Goes with everything and looks super stylish!! Have only had it a couple weeks but have worn it just about everyday! Hoping it holds true that it won’t tarnish. Such a reasonable price.

The color of all the products I bought are yellow. Not like gold yellow but so yellow you can tell it’s fake.

I purchased 10 pieces for a phenomenal price and was not disappointed! Louise Carter jewelry delivers quality and style at a great price. My favorite brand for easily wearable, tarnish free jewelry.

I haven’t given this necklace as gifts yet. There is a group of 13 of us spending a week in Hawaii. I love the look of this necklace and then when I saw the name Malaga, I decided to build a theme around the name. Tying it with a deep red nail polish, called Malaga ( by Opi) and a deep sweet red wine from the city of Malaga. Although I couldn’t find the wine, I did find a deep red sweet wine. Can’t wait to give these gifts!
I kept this one for myself. I picked the 10 mostly for presents for my daughter and granddaughter. So, I can't speak of most of my purchase! I will update after Christmas tho!
Yes — shower, ocean, pool, gym. Our pieces are 316L surgical-grade stainless steel fused with 18k gold, so water, sweat, lotion and perfume can't touch them.
Will it tarnish or turn my skin green?
No. Unlike plated jewelry, fused gold doesn't flake, fade or oxidize — and it's nickel-free and lead-free, so it's safe for the most sensitive skin. If it ever tarnishes, our Lifetime Color Warranty replaces it free.
How long does shipping take?
US orders arrive in 3–7 business days with tracking sent within 24–48 hours. Free shipping on orders over $65.
What if it doesn't fit or I don't love it?
30-day free returns and exchanges — no hoops, no restocking fees.
