Which is better for a child?

The Macy's necklace. It is a 3/4-inch pendant on an 18-inch rope chain, sized for a child and ready to wear. The Nolters pendant starts at 16mm and is aimed at adults.

Which is better for a man?

The Nolters crucifix. It comes in sizes up to 42mm and is marketed for men and women, while the Macy's piece is a children's necklace.

Is the Nolters pendant real gold?

Yes. Nolters says it is stamped 10k and 14k gold, never plated, with 10k and 14k parts mixed in the two-tone design. The Macy's necklace is all 14k.

Does the Nolters necklace include a chain?

Only if you add it. The Pave Figaro chain is optional and sold separately, and a 10k pendant comes with a 10k chain, a 14k pendant with a 14k chain. The Macy's necklace includes its chain.

Is the Macy's necklace worth the extra $9.40?

Yes if you want all-14k gold and a chain in one purchase for a child. No if you want a larger pendant or a men's size, where the Nolters wins on both size and price.

Both are solid gold, so wear depends on thickness and chain, not plating. The Macy's pendant is small and light; the Nolters pendant is larger, and its hollow Figaro chain is the more delicate part.
