- Is the chain real gold?
- No. The pendant and chain are solid 925 sterling silver with a thin 18K yellow gold electroplated layer on top. The gold tone is a finish, not solid gold.
- Will the gold color fade?
- Plating wears over time, especially with daily friction, perfume, sunscreen and chlorine. Keep it dry, put it on last and take it off first, and the tone lasts longer.
- Can I wear it in the shower or pool?
- Better not. Water and chlorine speed up tarnish on the silver and wear on the plating. Wipe it dry after wear and store it in a closed pouch.
- How long is the chain?
- It comes in 450 mm and 550 mm adjustable lengths, so it sits at the collarbone or a little lower. Check which length you are ordering.
- Is it safe for sensitive skin?
- Sterling silver is a good choice for most people with metal sensitivities. The plating is the part to watch if you react to gold alloys.
- How do I clean it?
- Use a soft silver polishing cloth and avoid abrasive dips, which can strip the gold plating. Polish gently and store it dry.
