- Is this real 18k gold?
- No. The "18k" refers to the gold plating color. The piece is gold-plated costume jewelry, not solid 18k gold.
- How long is the chain?
- The chain is 18 inches, a standard length that sits around the collarbone.
- Are the stones diamonds?
- No. The stones are cubic zirconia, a synthetic stone that mimics diamond sparkle at a much lower cost.
- Will the plating wear off?
- Gold plating on costume jewelry typically fades over months to years with daily wear. Keep it away from perfume, lotion and water to slow this.
- Is it safe for sensitive skin?
- Plated base-metal jewelry can cause irritation in people with metal allergies. If you react to nickel or brass, this may not suit you.
- Is $42 a good price?
- At $42.00 at Nordstrom as of November 7, 2026, it is the only new price listed, so there is no recent range to compare. Judge it against similar plated cross pendants, which often sell for $20 to $60.
