Product Insights
The Gothic Cross Cord Necklace by Le 31 combines a Victorian lace cord with a sliding knot for infinite adjustability and a discreet, hardware-free nape. Its brass pendant naturally develops a unique patina that evolves with wear, creating an ever-changing talisman, but requires maintenance and may irritate copper-sensitive skin; a stainless steel alternative is available for $39. The lightweight, openwork lace drapes softly, and the design merges Sacred Heart and occult symbolism, offering a fashion-forward, Gothic mood.
Verified claims
- Lace cord

- Market comparisons

- Competitive value
- Opts for brass and lace over steel for patina and Le 31 exclusivity.
- Skin sensitivity
