No. It is brass with a 24K gold plating, so the gold is a surface layer, not solid gold throughout.

Will the gold wear off?

Plating on brass can fade or rub off over time, especially with sweat, perfume and daily friction. Store it dry and avoid wearing it in water to slow this down.

Can I wear it in the shower or to swim?

It is better not to. Water, soap and chlorine speed up tarnish and plating wear on brass.

What length is it and how does it sit?

It is 24 inches, which falls around the collarbone to upper chest depending on your build. That makes it good for layering or wearing outside a shirt.

Can I put a pendant on it?

Yes, it is a plain box chain, so a pendant with a compatible bail can be added. Check the clasp and link size first, since box links can be small.

Is it good for sensitive skin?

Not ideal. Brass and plated metals can cause reactions in people with metal sensitivities; sterling silver or solid gold is safer.

About the Silver Reflections 24K Gold Over Brass 18-24" Box Chain Necklace

A 24-inch box chain from Silver Reflections, made of brass plated with 24K gold. The squared links give it a slightly more substantial look than a plain cable chain, and the longer length suits layering or wearing over a neckline. It is a fashion piece rather than fine jewelry, so the plating is the main thing to weigh against solid gold or sterling rivals. Buyers rate it well overall, though some note the finish and weight feel lighter than expected.
