- Is this real gold or gold plated?
- It is 10K yellow gold, a solid gold alloy stamped 10K, not a plating over brass or steel. 10K means 41.7% gold mixed with other metals, which makes it harder and more scratch-resistant than 14K but slightly paler in color.
- How does 3.5mm compare to a wider Cuban chain?
- 3.5mm is on the narrow end for a men's Cuban and reads as a subtle chain. 5mm to 7mm chains give the classic bold Cuban look but weigh considerably more at the same length.
- Will a 7.2 gram chain feel flimsy?
- At 22 inches and 3.5mm, 7.2 grams points to hollow or semi-hollow links rather than solid gold throughout. That keeps it comfortable, but hollow links can dent or bend if caught or pulled hard.
- What length is it and where does it sit?
- It is 22 inches, which typically falls at or just below the collarbone on most adults. That length works under an open collar and leaves room to add a pendant.
- What clasp does it use?
- It has a lobster claw clasp, the standard secure clasp for gold chains. Check it is fully closed before wearing, since a partly engaged claw can work open.
- Can it be worn in the shower or pool?
- 10K gold resists tarnishing, but chlorine, salt water and harsh soaps can dull the finish over time. Take it off for swimming and clean it with a soft cloth.
