- Will the gold plating wear off?
- Plating on stainless steel is more durable than on brass, but it can still fade at the clasp and edges with heavy daily wear. Rinse and dry it after sweat or chlorine to slow this down.
- Is this necklace suitable for men?
- Yes. The 22-inch curb chain and flat links are sized and styled for men, though the length works for anyone who wants a chain that sits below the collarbone.
- Can I wear it in the shower or pool?
- The stainless steel core handles water well, but chlorine and salt can degrade the gold plating over time. Take it off for pools and hot tubs to keep the color.
- Is it nickel free?
- Yes, Adornia lists this chain as nickel free, which makes it a better choice for people with nickel sensitivity.
- How does it compare with a solid gold curb chain?
- It costs far less and is tougher against scratches and dents, but it will not hold its gold color indefinitely the way solid gold does. It is a good everyday stand-in, not an heirloom.
- What length is it and can it be adjusted?
- It is 22 inches and comes in one size with no extender. Check that length against a chain you already wear before buying.
- Where is the Adornia 18K Gold Plated Stainless Steel Curb Chain Nemklace - Gold cheapest?
- At Shop Simon, for $22.97, as of our latest check.
