Is the gold real or plated?

It is 14K yellow gold throughout the pendant and chain, not gold plated over base metal. That makes it suitable for daily wear and for people with sensitive skin.

Can the length be adjusted?

Yes. The necklace has an adjustable clasp, so the wearer can shorten the drop from the full 18 inches. It does not extend past 18 inches.

What chain does it come on?

A Byzantine chain, made of interlocking links that give it a rounded, rope-like look. It is heavier and more textured than the thin cable chains common on name necklaces.

Can I choose the name or word?

This is a personalized script name necklace, so the lettering is made to the name or word ordered. Check the spelling carefully, since custom pieces are usually final sale.

How does it compare with a plain initial pendant?

A full name in bubble script makes a bigger statement and covers more of the collarbone than a single initial. A single initial is more subtle and easier to layer with other chains.

Is it good for everyday wear?

Yes. Solid 14K gold resists tarnish and the Byzantine chain is sturdy. Take it off for swimming, gym sessions and heavy cleaning to protect the finish.
