Product Insights
The Bruno + Milan Pendant Necklace by Midi34 offers a 14k gold over stainless steel pendant at a competitive price of 69 CAD, outperforming gold-toned brass or copper alternatives in durability and hypoallergenic comfort. Its one-handed snap hook with signature plate allows easy fastening, and it layers with a 24–26 inch chain for a two-piece look. However, the gold plating lasts 6–18 months before wearing to a silver, stain-free steel base, requiring careful maintenance: apply after beauty products, remove for water, sports, and chores, wipe after wear, and store dry.

Why this is supported
Industry research notes that
Standard 14K gold plated jewelry typically keeps its shine for 6 months to 1.5 years.
sj-jewellery.comand that because the 14K gold alloy is physically harder than higher karats, it
resists daily micro-scratches very well.
sj-jewellery.comWhen the gold layer eventually thins, the 316L stainless steel base shows through—
316L stainless steel is famous for being “inert.” This means it does not react easily with the environment. Because the base metal is so stable, it doesn’t push any corrosion through the gold layer.

- Care requirements
Put on after beauty products; remove for water, sports, and chores.
Why this is supported
The brand’s care instructions specify:
To maintain the gold plating, avoid contact with water, perfumes, and lotions. Put the necklace on after applying beauty products, and remove it before swimming, showering, sports, or chores [7]. Wipe with a soft cloth after wear and store in a dry place to prevent tarnishing.
