- What is a Byzantine chain?
- It is a woven link pattern where rings pass through two others, creating a thick, rope-like band. It looks more textured and substantial than a cable or curb chain.
- Is rose gold plating durable?
- Plating holds up with occasional wear but wears faster with sweat, perfume and daily friction. Take it off for showers, swimming and workouts to keep the color longer.
- What does 22 inches look like on?
- It sits at or just below the collarbone on most people, lower than a 16 or 18-inch chain. It works over a shirt collar and layers well with shorter necklaces.
- Should I choose 14k or 18k plating?
- 18k plating has a deeper, warmer gold color; 14k is slightly paler. Both are plating over a base metal, so the difference is color, not solid gold content.
- How do I clean a Byzantine chain?
- Soak it in warm water with mild soap, then work a soft brush into the links and rinse well. Dry it fully, since trapped moisture between the woven links can dull the finish.
- Can I wear it every day?
- Yes, but the plating and clasp take the wear. Rotating it with other pieces and storing it dry in a pouch will slow the fading.
