- Is this real gold or plated?
- It is 14K white gold, so the metal is solid gold alloy rather than a plating over brass or steel. White gold is alloyed with white metals and usually rhodium-plated for a bright finish.
- How does SI clarity compare with VS or VVS?
- SI1–SI2 sits below VS and VVS, so small inclusions may be visible under close inspection but are usually hidden at arm's length. For a tennis necklace worn at the collarbone, SI stones generally look clean in normal viewing.
- Will 16 inches fit me?
- Sixteen inches is a choker-to-collarbone length that suits most average necks and works well for layering. If you prefer a lower drape or have a larger neck, measure a chain you already wear before choosing.
- Does white gold need maintenance?
- Yes. White gold is rhodium-plated, and the plating wears thin over years of wear, so the piece may need re-plating to restore its bright white look. Clean it gently and store it separately to avoid scratches.
- What is in the box?
- Expect the necklace itself, typically in a jewelry box or pouch. Ask the seller about a diamond grading report or appraisal if you need documentation for insurance.
- Can I wear it every day?
- Yes, 14K gold and diamonds hold up to daily wear, but a fine tennis setting is more delicate than a plain chain. Take it off for gym sessions, swimming and heavy chores to protect the settings and clasp.
