Gold is timeless, and as layering continues to be a prominent jewelry trend, you can never have too many gold necklaces. Ahead of Valentine’s Day, you’re likely scouring the internet for something nice, yes, but also special to gift your loved ones. Jewelry can be hard to choose online if you haven’t seen the piece in real life, so we recently went hands-on with a shopper-loved piece of jewelry to make sure it checks off all the boxes. Stefano Oro’s mega popular Ingot Pendant has stats to make any shopper pay attention, selling 23,000 times since launch, with retailer ShopHQ estimating it’s “probably sold out over 50 times.”
Right now, the Italian-made piece is on sale for as low as $249 (from a market value of $415), but Parade readers also get 10% off with our exclusive promo code SHOPGOLD10, which is eligible to use on any Stefano Oro product.
Stefano Oro 24K Gold Ingot Pendant, From $224 (was $415) at ShopHQ
Spiga Milano 14-Karat Gold Chain, From $152 (was $308) at ShopHQ
The solid 24-karat gold pendant is unique: It’s basically your own little block of 100% pure gold, imprinted with its weight. You can choose from 1 gram up to 20, pairing it with a chain you already own or one from Stefano Oro.
I picked up all of the solid gold pieces and tried on the 2-gram pendant, which has a total weight of 2.61 grams, with the brand’s Spiga Milano 14-karat gold chain in the 18-inch length. Each pendant felt substantial, like a tiny gold brick in my hand.
Because you can scale up and down such a wide range of sizes, the pendant is versatile across personal styles, whether your giftee prefers delicate jewelry or statement pieces. The 2-gram pendant is the second smallest in the lineup and was bigger than I expected after first seeing the options on the website, which scale up to a fairly massive 20 grams and range in price from $224 (was $415) to $2,699 (was $4,999).

Shoppers who own the Stefano Oro charm were similarly impressed by the heft of these charms when seeing them in person. “The color is incredible, the weight is substantial without being heavy,” one reviewer said.
One person who called the piece “absolutely breathtaking” described it as: “Great quality, much heavier than I thought. I love it very much.” Shoppers also rave about the vibrant color, describing it as “buttery and beautiful,” and call it an “investment piece.”
