Questions and answers

Is this solid gold or gold plated?

It is 14k yellow gold, so the metal is gold through and through rather than a plating over brass or steel. That makes it suitable for daily wear and safe for most sensitive ears and skin.

How long is the chain and can it be adjusted?

The chain is 18 inches, a standard length that falls around the collarbone. There is no extender mentioned, so shortening or lengthening would need a jeweler.

Can I wear it every day, including in the shower?

14k gold tolerates daily wear well, but take it off for swimming, showering with harsh soaps, and workouts. Perfume, chlorine and abrasion dull the polished finish over time.

Does the pendant come off the chain?

The drop is fixed to the chain rather than removable. That keeps it from sliding around, but you cannot wear the chain alone with another pendant.

How does it compare with a diamond or gemstone pendant?

It is quieter and more versatile than a stone-set pendant, and it needs no prong or stone care. In return it has less sparkle and presence for evening wear.

What should I check before buying?

Confirm the pendant's dimensions and the chain's clasp type, since the drop is described only as tapered. Also check the return window in case the scale is smaller than expected.
