No. It is sterling silver with a 14k gold plating, so the gold is a surface layer, not solid gold throughout.

Will the gold plating wear off?

Plating can wear over time, especially where the chain rubs against skin or other jewelry. Keep it away from perfume, chlorine and harsh cleaners, and store it dry to slow this down.

What is black spinel?

Black spinel is a dark gemstone used here as a small accent at the horseshoe clasp. It is opaque black and harder than most colored stones, so it holds up to normal wear.

How do I work the horseshoe clasp?

The horseshoe clasp uses a hinged lever that you press to open and release to close. Practice it a few times before wearing, since it works differently from a lobster claw.

Can I wear it every day?

Yes, but plated silver is best kept for lighter wear. Take it off before showering, swimming or exercising to protect the plating.

What length is it and where does it sit?

It is 18 inches, which usually falls at the collarbone or just below for most women. That makes it easy to layer with shorter chains.

About the Italian Gold Black Spinel Horseshoe Clasp Paperclip Link 18" Chain Necklace in 14k Gold-Plated Sterling Silver

This is an 18-inch paperclip-link chain in 14k gold-plated sterling silver, made in Italy, with a horseshoe clasp set with black spinel. The open paperclip links give it a modern, slightly bold look, and the black spinel at the clasp adds a dark accent against the gold. It suits shoppers who want a statement chain for layering or wearing alone. Against plain gold-plated paperclip chains, the gem-set clasp is the differentiator; against solid gold, the plating is the trade-off, since plated silver can wear through with daily friction.
