- Is gold filled the same as gold plated?
- No. Gold filled has a much thicker layer of gold bonded to a base metal, so it lasts far longer and tarnishes less than plating. It is still not solid gold.
- Will it turn my skin green?
- Gold filled is hypoallergenic for most people, and buyers with sensitivities report no irritation. Very reactive skin can still respond to the base metal if the gold layer wears through.
- How big is the pendant?
- The oval is about 6 mm, roughly the width of a pencil eraser. It is a small, subtle piece.
- Which chain length should I pick?
- Choose 16 inches for a closer fit at the base of the neck, or 18 inches to sit lower on the chest or layer with other chains.
- Can I shower or swim in it?
- Gold filled handles occasional water better than plating, but soap, chlorine and perfume shorten its life. Taking it off for showers and pools keeps the gold layer intact longer.
