No. It is sterling silver with 18k gold plating, not solid gold. The plating gives the color; the silver underneath gives the weight.

Will the gold plating wear off?

Plating on any jewelry can wear with friction, sweat and perfume. Some owners report tarnish over time. Take it off before showering or swimming to slow that down.

What length is it and where does it sit?

It is 20 inches long, so it falls around the collarbone or just below. That length works alone or layered with shorter chains.

Can I wear it every day?

It is fine for daily wear, but the plating and the box links are the weak points. Store it flat or hanging to avoid kinks, and keep it away from water and perfume.

Is it suitable for a gift?

Yes, if the person likes classic gold-tone chains. The box link style is neutral and the 20-inch length fits most necks.
