Is this real gold or plated?

It is solid 14k yellow gold, marked 14k, not gold plated or filled. That means the color will not wear off the way plating does.

How big are the pearls?

The freshwater pearls are round and measure about 4mm to 4.5mm. That is small, so expect a subtle accent rather than a statement pearl.

What length is the necklace?

It is 18 inches, which sits near the collarbone on most adults. It closes with a spring ring clasp.

Can I wear it every day?

Yes, but pearls need care. Put it on after perfume and lotion, wipe it after wearing, and keep it away from water and harsh cleaners.

Does it come in a gift box?

It ships in Effy original packaging, which is suitable for gifting. Check the listing for the exact box style if presentation matters to you.

How does it compare with a full pearl strand?

A station necklace uses a few spaced pearls on a gold chain, so it is lighter and more casual than a full strand. It layers more easily but shows less pearl.
