No. It is sterling silver with 18k gold plating, so the gold is a surface layer, not solid gold throughout.

Will the gold plating wear off?

Plating on any fashion chain wears with friction, sweat and perfume. Expect the finish to last longer if you take it off before showering, swimming and exercising.

What length is it and where does it sit?

It is 18 inches, which usually falls at the collarbone or just below on most women. That length layers well with shorter chains.

Can I wear it in the shower or pool?

Better not. Water, chlorine and soap speed up tarnish and plating wear. Wipe it with a soft cloth and store it dry.

How does it compare with a plain cable chain?

The Figaro pattern alternates short and long links, so it catches light and looks more deliberate than a uniform cable chain at a similar width.

The necklace only. There is no polishing cloth or pouch stated, so plan to store it in a dry jewelry box.

About the Giani Bernini Figaro Link Chain 18" Necklace in 18k Gold-Plated Sterling Silver

This is an 18-inch Figaro link chain in 18k gold-plated sterling silver, about 4.3 mm wide, with a fish hook clasp. The Figaro pattern alternates short and long flattened links, which gives it more visual interest than a plain cable chain while staying light enough for daily wear. It sits in the fashion-jewelry tier: the sterling silver core is a real step up from brass or base-metal chains, but the gold is plating, so it will wear over time with heavy use. It suits shoppers who want a gold look for everyday layering without paying for solid gold.
