Is the Adornia herringbone set real gold?

No. It is stainless steel with 18k gold plating, so the gold is a surface layer, not solid gold. Plating can thin with heavy wear.

Adornia markets it as tarnish resistant, and the stainless steel base helps compared with brass. Keep it away from perfume, lotion and chlorine, and wipe it after wear to slow dulling.

How should I store a herringbone chain?

Lay it flat or hang it so the chain does not bend. Herringbone links crease and kink permanently if folded or crammed into a pouch.

Can I wear it in the shower or to swim?

Better not. Water, soap and chlorine speed up plating wear even on stainless steel. Take it off before showering, swimming or working out.

Is this set good value against other layered necklaces?

The stainless steel base and 18k plating are a step up from brass and alloy sets that tarnish faster. You give up solid gold and guaranteed clasp details, so judge it as fashion jewelry, not an heirloom.

Our take on the Adornia Tarnish Resistant 18k Gold Plated Layered Herringbone Necklace Set

This is a layered necklace set from Adornia built around a herringbone chain, made of stainless steel with 18k gold plating and marketed as tarnish resistant. The layered look gives you a stacked-necklace effect without buying and matching pieces separately. Stainless steel resists rust better than the brass and alloy bases common in fashion jewelry at this level, and the herringbone chain drapes flat and fluid. It suits shoppers who want the stacked look in one purchase and don't expect solid gold.
