- Will the gold plating wear off?
- Ion plating on stainless steel holds up better than plated brass, but the gold layer is thin. Friction at the hole and contact with perfume or chlorine will wear it over time.
- What size jump ring fits the hole?
- The hole is 1mm, so a 20- or 21-gauge jump ring or a fine wire fits. Thicker rings and most leather cord will not pass through.
- Is it real gold?
- It is 304 stainless steel with real 18K gold plating, not solid gold. The plating gives the color; the steel gives the strength.
- Can it go in the shower or pool?
- Stainless steel tolerates water, but chlorine and salt shorten the life of the gold plating. Take the piece off before swimming to keep the color.
- How many charms come with it?
- It is one charm. If you need a pair for earrings or a row for a bracelet, order the number you need.
- Is it heavy enough to pull on a thin chain?
- At 1mm thick it is very light, so it will not drag a fine chain down. That also means it reads as a small accent, not a statement pendant.
