No. The pendant is plated with 18K gold five times over a base metal, not solid gold. The plating gives the gold look but can wear with heavy use.

Are the diamonds real?

No. The stones are AAAA+ simulated diamonds (cubic zirconia), not mined diamonds. They are chosen for sparkle at a lower cost.

How big is the pendant?

The pendant measures 46 by 25mm, roughly the size of a large statement pendant. It sits prominently on the chest.

It comes on a 24-inch chain, which hangs near the collarbone to upper chest. That length is fixed with the pendant.

Gold plating on any jewelry can fade with sweat, perfume and friction. Keeping it dry and storing it away from moisture helps it last longer.

It suits Drake and OVO fans and anyone who wants a bold gold-tone hip-hop pendant. It is less suited to shoppers wanting solid gold or real diamonds.
