Shaped as a delicate bird mid-flight, the Soar pendant carries an elegance that belies its powerful message. Each time you wear it, it serves as a gentle reminder that your voice and your story are meant to take flight. The lines of the pendant are sleek and flowing, creating the silhouette of outstretched wings that carry light into tomorrow. Soar invites you to wear it not as just a decoration, but as a daily ritual of empowerment – a talisman that reminds you that freedom, in any form you seek it, is within reach and is a sacred part of you.

In 18k solid gold, the Soar Necklace achieves its fullest expression as a treasure of both exquisite beauty and profound symbolism. The design of the pendant – a finely sculpted dove in mid-flight – remains the same graceful messenger of hope, but the entire bird is crafted from solid gold, giving it a richer glow and a tangible sense of importance. This golden dove symbolizes liberation and sovereignty in a very material way: gold has long been a symbol of the divine, of the sun, of all that is enduring. As such, the Soar Necklace in solid gold represents your story of rising above, cast in a metal that never tarnishes or fades. The inspiration behind it stays true to its roots in Congolese heritage and the journeys of women overcoming adversity. Each time you wear this piece, you are reminded that your journey – like solid gold – is precious and lasting. The pendant’s silhouette carries elegance in its streamlined form, but its meaning carries the weight of a cultural narrative: it bridges heritage and aspiration, showing that from a rich past can spring a bright, self-defined future. In essence, the Soar solid gold necklace is more than jewelry; it’s a golden testament to rebirth and the sacred act of finding one’s freedom.

For the 18k solid gold variant:

The solid gold variant of the Soar Necklace is a masterpiece of craftsmanship, made for the connoisseur of fine jewelry and storytelling. Here are the key details that highlight its premium nature:

• Material: 18k solid gold (available typically in rich yellow gold). No plating, just pure precious metal through and through. The gold used is ethically sourced, reflecting Maison DORAMS’ commitment to responsible luxury. The pendant and the accompanying chain are both solid 18k gold, providing a uniform, radiant color and high intrinsic value.
• Design & Finish: The Soar pendant is created via precision casting in solid gold to capture every gentle curve of the bird. Once cast, it’s hand-finished: artisans smooth every surface to a high polish, so the bird gleams as if lit from within. Certain details, like the line of the wings or the abstract features of the dove, are carefully refined with fine tools to ensure clarity of form. The result is a pendant that looks simple at first glance but reveals incredible refinement the closer you examine it.
• Size & Chain: The dimensions remain around 21mm x 15mm, as with the vermeil version, striking a perfect balance between dainty and statement-making. However, in solid gold, the pendant has a satisfying weight that speaks to its quality when you hold it. It comes with a matching 18k solid gold chain (approximately 18 inches with extender, unless otherwise requested). The chain is selected to be delicate yet strong, so it complements the pendant without overpowering it, and is secured with a sturdy lobster clasp.
• Exclusivity & Edition: The Soar Necklace in 18k gold is offered as a limited edition piece. In fact, Maison DORAMS has limited the solid gold Soar to only 25 pieces in the year 2025 worldwide. Each of these necklaces is part of a numbered edition, reflecting its rarity and collectible status. Before reaching you, your necklace will be individually quality-checked and assigned its edition number.
• Authenticity: The pendant is stamped with an 18k/750 hallmark, and the chain carries a small 18k tag as well – assuring you of the gold’s purity. A Certificate of Authenticity is included, detailing the piece’s material, edition number, and the artisan process. The necklace is delivered in a beautiful DORAMS presentation box, with a certificate folder and care guide, so the unboxing experience is as luxurious as the piece itself.

Every aspect of the solid gold Soar Necklace speaks to masterful craftsmanship and the Maison’s dedication to marrying symbolism with the highest quality of jewellery-making.

For the Gold Vermeil Variant:

Crafted with meticulous care in 18k gold vermeil, the Soar Necklace offers both luxury and durability. The pendant itself is cast in 925 sterling silver and then generously plated with 18k gold (at a thick 2.5-micron standard), giving it the rich appearance of solid gold and a sturdy, long-lasting finish. The design features a sculptural bird-in-flight motif – its form is smooth and contoured, with no sharp edges, ensuring it’s comfortable to wear and catches the light with every movement. Key aspects of the material and craftsmanship:

• Material: 18k gold vermeil (high-grade gold plating over sterling silver). The gold layer is thick and lustrous, ensuring a brilliant shine and resistance to tarnishing far superior to ordinary plated jewelry.
• Dimensions: The Soar pendant measures approximately 21mm x 15mm, a balanced size that is noticeable yet refined. It hangs from a matching gold vermeil chain of adjustable length (typically 18 inches with an extender) so you can position it perfectly along your neckline.
• Artistry: Master craftsmen hand-finish each Soar pendant. The bird’s wings and body are polished to a mirror sheen on the high points, while subtle satin texture in the crevices provides depth – this contrast makes the piece almost appear alive as it glints in the light. Every Soar pendant is also checked thoroughly to ensure symmetry and perfection in the flowing shape.
• Quality & Authenticity: The necklace is hypoallergenic and nickel-free, ideal for sensitive skin. Each piece comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and is stamped with “925” and “18k” to denote the sterling silver core and gold purity of the plating. It arrives in a Maison DORAMS velvet-lined presentation box. (The Soar Necklace in vermeil is created in limited batches, reflecting the maison’s dedication to exclusivity and careful craftsmanship, even for our accessible luxury pieces.)

One of the wonderful properties of 18k solid gold is its ability to maintain its beauty with minimal upkeep – it will not rust, tarnish, or flake. Your solid gold Soar Necklace is designed to be worn and enjoyed for a lifetime, but to keep it in exceptional condition, here are some care recommendations:

• Daily wear: Feel free to make the Soar Necklace your daily signature – solid gold holds up well to regular wear. The pendant’s smooth design has no prongs or delicate parts that snag, so it’s quite user-friendly. However, as with any fine jewelry, avoid wearing it during rough activities (like contact sports or heavy manual work) to prevent any accidental dents or scratches to the gold.
• Chemicals and cosmetics: Gold is resistant to most substances, but it’s wise to avoid direct contact with chlorine (e.g., in pools or hot tubs) which can slowly weaken gold alloys over time. It’s also a good practice to keep it away from harsh household cleaners or solvents. Apply any perfumes or lotions before putting on your necklace, and let them dry, to minimize residue on the gold. This helps keep the gold’s shine unimpaired.
• Cleaning: Over time, solid gold can get a bit dull from oils in your skin or everyday dust. To freshen it up, soak your necklace in lukewarm water mixed with a few drops of mild dish soap. After a few minutes, gently rub the pendant and chain between your fingers or use a very soft brush (like a baby toothbrush) to dislodge any grime. Rinse it in clean water and pat dry with a soft cloth. For regular maintenance, a quick rub with a jewelry polishing cloth will restore the high polish in seconds. The dove pendant’s smooth surfaces are easy to wipe clean.
• Polishing: If your pendant accumulates fine scratches (which is natural with gold over time), you can have it professionally polished by a jeweler to restore a like-new shine. However, many people love the subtle patina that gold develops – it’s a testament to your piece’s journey with you. Polishing can be done as seldom or as often as you prefer; the gold is solid, so it can handle many sessions of refinishing over a lifetime without issue.
• Storage: When not wearing the necklace, store it in the provided DORAMS jewelry box or a soft-lined case. This prevents the chain from tangling and protects the pendant from scratching against other items. Although solid gold won’t tarnish, keeping it enclosed will also prevent it from collecting dust. For travel, use a small jewelry travel case to keep the necklace safe.
• Longevity Promise: Solid gold truly stands the test of time. With minimal care, your Soar Necklace will remain as radiant decades from now as it is today. Maison DORAMS also supports our clients with aftercare – if you ever need guidance or servicing, we are here. But fundamentally, owning the solid gold Soar is worry-free: this is a necklace your daughter or niece could someday wear, and it would still carry the same luster and meaning. Treat it with love and it will love you back indefinitely.

Your Soar gold vermeil necklace is designed to accompany you on daily adventures, but a little care will help it stay as radiant as the day it was made:

• Routine wear: Put on your Soar Necklace after applying any perfumes, lotions, or hair products. This avoids direct exposure of the gold vermeil to chemicals or oils that could dull its shine over time.
• Protection from elements: Remove the necklace before swimming, bathing, or engaging in heavy exercise. Although the gold layer is thick and durable, avoiding water (especially chlorinated or saltwater) and sweat will keep both the gold finish and the underlying sterling silver at their best.
• Cleaning: If the necklace loses a bit of its luster from regular wear, you can gently wipe it with a soft polishing cloth. This will restore the gold’s gleam. For a deeper clean, use lukewarm water with a drop of gentle soap – lightly rub the pendant with your fingers or a very soft cloth, rinse, and pat dry. Make sure the necklace is fully dry before storing or wearing again. Avoid any abrasive cleaners or rough cloths, as these could scratch the gold layer.
• Storage: Store your Soar Necklace in its DORAMS box or a soft pouch when not in use. Storing it separately from other jewelry will prevent tangling of the chain and scratching of the pendant. If you hang your necklaces, use an individual hook for Soar to preserve its shape.
• Maintaining longevity: Maison DORAMS offers a complimentary re-plating service within the first year for our gold vermeil pieces. If after years of loving wear you ever wish to refresh the pendant’s gold sheen, professional re-plating can make it look brand new. With proper care – and by taking advantage of our after-care services – your Soar Necklace will retain its symbolic shine for many years, reminding you always of your journey upward.

The Soar Necklace is sure to capture your heart, not only for its striking appearance but for the feeling it gives you when you wear it. You’ll love it for its quiet luxury – the knowledge that around your neck lies a finely crafted piece of pure gold art, shaped into a symbol that speaks to your soul. There’s an intimate satisfaction in wearing something so precious that also carries a personal significance: it’s like wearing hope and freedom in physical form.

Every time you fasten this necklace and feel the gentle weight of the gold dove, you’ll be reminded of your own resilience and the heights you’re capable of reaching. It’s empowering in a very gentle way. Unlike flashy jewelry that simply calls attention, the Soar solid gold pendant invites admiration and curiosity. Its beauty is subtle yet undeniable; people may first notice the lovely golden gleam and elegant shape, and when they ask about it, you’ll have the pleasure of telling the story – that it represents a dove of peace and the idea of rising above challenges. In sharing this, you’re not just talking about a necklace, you’re sharing your values and the rich heritage behind it. That makes wearing it an experience filled with pride and connection.

The investment value is another aspect you’ll appreciate pragmatically. You have a piece that holds intrinsic value. While we believe the emotional and cultural value of Soar is priceless, it’s reassuring to know that your jewelry is also a wise investment in materials. Gold historically retains (and often increases) its value, so you’re not only adorning yourself with something beautiful, you’re also holding a form of wealth – albeit one you’d likely never part with because of its personal significance!

Comfort and versatility are yet more reasons to adore this necklace. Despite being made of solid gold, the pendant is finely balanced and comfortable for daily wear. It’s not so large that it feels ostentatious; instead, it’s the perfect size to wear with anything. You might find yourself reaching for Soar every day – it can be your everyday reminder of freedom at work, at casual brunch, or at formal events where it adds a touch of refined sparkle. Layer it or wear it solo – it’s stunning either way.

By choosing the Soar now, you are effectively giving yourself or a loved one a lifelong gift. Imagine years down the line, looking at this necklace and remembering that you were one of the first to obtain it as part of the Essence 2025 Collection. You’ll recall why you got it – perhaps to mark a personal milestone, a commitment to yourself, or simply the desire to have a meaningful heirloom to pass down. That future satisfaction is a beautiful thing to anticipate.

In summary, you’ll love the Soar Necklace in 18k gold because it is rich in meaning, rich in craftsmanship, and rich in value. It will make you feel elegant and empowered, and it will accompany you on your own flights toward your aspirations. Owning it now means you never have to wonder "what if" – you can begin wearing your inspiration immediately and for the rest of your life, with the radiant glow of gold and hope lighting your way.
