Is this chain solid gold or gold plated?

It is solid 10 karat yellow gold, stamped 10K, not plated or filled. That means the color runs through the metal rather than sitting on a coating.

How much does a 24-inch chain weigh?

At roughly 0.53 grams per inch, a 24-inch chain comes to about 12 to 13 grams. Shorter lengths weigh proportionally less.

How does 10K gold compare with 14K?

10K is 41.7 percent gold, so it is harder and more scratch resistant but less yellow and less valuable than 14K, which is 58.5 percent gold. For a fine everyday chain, 10K holds up well.

Will the pave links snag on clothing?

The pave texture on the curb links is raised, so it can catch on loose knits, lace and fine hair. Wearing it over smooth fabrics or under a collar reduces snagging.

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

10K gold tolerates water, but soap, chlorine and perfume dull the pave finish over time. Rinse and dry it after contact with pool water or harsh products.

Does it come with a clasp?

The chain is finished with a clasp to close it. Check the clasp type on the specific length you choose, since fine chains often use a lobster or spring ring.
