Iced Trap House Pendant in Yellow Gold: Details, Chain and Length

The Iced Trap House Pendant is a house drawn in detail: a pitched roof, a chimney, a cracked roofline, a dark opening in the wall and boards across the door, all worked in iced settings. It is made to be recognized from across a room and read up close, so give it a plain chain and a length where the whole house shows.

What is in the design

The silhouette does the first job. A stepped roofline with a small chimney on the left reads as a house even at a glance. Step closer and the detail shows up: a jagged crack runs through the roof, a dark opening sits in the wall, and plain Yellow Gold boards cross the door and a window. The walls and roof are covered in small round settings, which makes the gold boards the only flat surfaces on the piece and gives them a sharp edge against all that sparkle. A tall loop bail, set with small round settings of its own, carries it.

A busy pendant wants a plain chain

Because the pendant is full of small details, choose a chain that frames it. SKRT pairs it with two Yellow Gold chains. The Rope Chain in Yellow Gold - 3mm is all gold with a twisted texture, so the house is the only thing that sparkles. The Diamond Tennis Chain in Yellow Gold - 4mm adds a row of settings for an all-iced look. The photo below shows the pendant on a tennis chain.

This pendant's verified fit is chains up to 4mm wide, and like every SKRT pendant it fits any 3mm chain. Do not hang it from anything wider. Pendants are sold without a chain.

Length: leave the house room

A pendant this squared-off needs open chest around it. On a man, a 22 inch chain puts it just below the collarbone, where it reads clearly over a plain tee. A 24 inch chain lets it rest at mid-chest. Both keep it clear of a collar. Drape string at the length you like and compare it with the SKRT Size Guide. If two lengths are close, the longer one is the safer choice. The photo above shows the same pendant on a woman, hanging just below the collarbone.

Trap House or Baguette Trap House?

They are two different pendants. The one on this page has the full set of details described above. The Iced Baguette Trap House Pendant in Yellow Gold fills the roof and walls with rows of baguettes laid like bricks, with boards set across the door and window, and it fits chains up to 5mm. This men's listing and the women's listing of the design are the same piece.

Cleaning the corners

Detail collects skin oil in the corners, so the monthly soak matters here: 2 to 3 minutes in lukewarm water with a drop of mild dish soap, a gentle pass with a soft toothbrush along the roofline, chimney and boards, then a rinse and an immediate pat dry. After wear, a soft microfiber cloth is enough. Put it on after lotion and cologne have dried, and skip pools, hot tubs and saltwater. The Care Instructions page has the full routine, and SKRT's Lifetime Guarantee backs the pendant.

Quick answers

Which chain makes the house look best?

Choose rope if you want the house to be the only sparkle. Choose the 4mm tennis chain if you want a layered, all-iced look. Both are Yellow Gold and both are within the pendant's fit.

How do I clean the small details?

Use a soft toothbrush with lukewarm water and a drop of mild dish soap, then rinse and dry right away. Never use toothpaste, abrasives or an ultrasonic cleaner.

What length chain suits the Trap House pendant?

On a man, 22 inches puts it just below the collarbone and 24 inches lets it rest at mid-chest. Both leave the whole house visible over a plain tee.
