- Is this chain really solid gold or gold plated?
- It is 10k solid gold, marked with a 10k engraving on the chain and clasp. It is not plated or gold filled, and it is not semi-hollow.
- What is the difference between this and a semi-hollow chain?
- A semi-hollow chain has hollow links that dent and crush easily. This one is full solid, so it has more weight and holds its shape better.
- Which length should I pick?
- 16 inches sits close to the neck like a choker, 18 to 20 inches falls at the collarbone, and 22 to 24 inches hangs lower over a shirt. A 2.5mm chain reads best at 18 to 22 inches.
- Can I wear it every day, including in the shower?
- 10k gold does not tarnish like plated metal, so daily wear is fine. Soap, chlorine and sweat dull it over time, so rinse and dry it and take it off for swimming.
- How does 10k compare with 14k gold?
- 10k is about 42% gold and 14k about 58%. 10k is harder and more affordable but less yellow and less scratch-resistant; 14k costs more and keeps its color longer.
- Will a pendant fit on it?
- Yes, if the pendant's bail is wide enough to pass a 2.5mm link. Check the bail opening before buying; a tight bail will not slide over the Figaro links.
