- Is this real gold?
- It is 18k gold plated over a base metal, not solid gold. The plating gives the yellow gold color, and the diamonds are small accents.
- How wide and how long is it?
- The chain is 8mm wide and 16 inches long. That is a chunky look at a collarbone length.
- Will the plating wear off?
- Plated jewelry can fade with sweat, perfume and friction. Take it off before showering or exercising to make the finish last longer.
- Is it too heavy for daily wear?
- At 60 oz it is a heavy piece. Many owners wear it for events or layering rather than all day.
- What is in the box?
- The necklace with its clasp. Check the listing for any pouch or gift packaging included.
- How does it compare with a solid gold rope chain?
- A solid gold chain holds value and resists wear, but costs far more. This plated Byzantine chain offers a similar bold look at a lower weight and price.
- Where is the GLD Diamond Rope Chain 8mm 18k cheapest?
