Gold plating durability and long-term care

• Because 14k gold is alloyed with copper and silver to increase hardness, the plating on this necklace is naturally more scratch-resistant than softer 18k or 24k gold coatings, helping it maintain a smooth, glossy surface longer during daily wear.
• Underneath the plating, the sterling silver alloy is harder and less susceptible to impact dents than the brass or copper used in cheaper costume jewelry, so the gold layer is less prone to cracking and flaking — an advantage that keeps the necklace looking intact through everyday bumps.
• The necklace’s 925 sterling silver core is a durable foundation that can outlast the gold plating; even if the gold finish wears away, the silver underneath remains wearable and can be polished, meaning the necklace is a lasting piece that doesn't become worthless once the plating fades.

How the adjustable chain fits and layers

• Because the extender allows shortening to a collarbone‑hugging 18 inches, the same chain can serve as the top layer in a tiered necklace set — it sits neatly above a longer 24‑inch chain without tangling — while at its full 20 inches it works as a standalone matinee piece over crewnecks or V‑neck sweaters, doubling its styling utility.
• The adjustable extender chain provides about 2 inches of play, letting the necklace shift from a 20-inch matinee length that rests below the collarbone to a shorter 18-inch princess length that sits at the collarbone — two standard lengths in one piece, which is a practical advantage for pairing with different necklines and layering configurations.

The story behind the Simons x Midi34 collaboration

• Midi34's creative agency explicitly positions the brand as 'specializing in minimalist jewellery,' with an aesthetic rooted in timeless simplicity and monochrome flexibility — the Isabelle necklace's clean silhouette is an intentional product of that design DNA, engineered for quiet layering rather than overt embellishment.
• At launch, Simons described the collection on Instagram as 'une capsule minimaliste, délicate et hautement convoitée' — a minimalist, delicate, and highly sought-after capsule — using scarcity language that frames the Isabelle necklace as a fashion-insider item with built-in demand, not a basic staple that sits on the rack indefinitely.
• Unlike the vast ocean of imported fashion jewelry, Midi34 pieces are designed and assembled in Quebec City — the Isabelle necklace, marked 'Designed in Canada,' carries that local sourcing story, which for a $69 price point is rare and signals small-batch, domestic craft rather than high-volume offshore production.
• The brand's design agency states Midi34 'uses high-quality materials,' and the 14-karat gold-plated 925 sterling silver construction of the Isabelle necklace — consistent across the exclusive Simons pieces like the Nina chain — is the tangible execution of that promise, placing it above fashion jewelry that relies on base metals or mystery alloys.
• Simons and Midi34 have co-developed exclusive jewelry capsules since 2019, making the Isabelle necklace part of a mature, retailer-backed alliance that has been commercially validated across multiple seasons — not a one-off test, but a repeated vote of confidence from a major Canadian department store.
