Is 10K gold real gold?

Yes. 10K means the alloy is about 41.7% pure gold, mixed with metals like silver, copper and zinc for strength. It is real gold, just lower in purity than 14K or 18K.

How does 10K compare with 14K for a cross necklace?

10K is harder and more scratch-resistant, so it suits daily wear, but it looks paler and holds less resale value. 14K has a richer yellow color and more gold content for a higher cost.

Can the chain length be adjusted?

The chain is a fixed 18 inches with no extender. You can swap it for a longer or shorter gold chain, or ask a jeweler to add an extender.

Is it suitable for a child or teen?

The small cross and light weight suit teens and older children, but the thin chain and small clasp may be fragile for young kids. Many buyers give it as a first fine-jewelry gift.

Will it tarnish or turn skin green?

Solid 10K gold does not tarnish or turn skin green the way plated jewelry can. Keep it away from chlorine and harsh cleaners, and store it dry.

What comes with the necklace?

It arrives on its chain, typically in a jewelry box or pouch suitable for gifting. Check the listing for the exact packaging and any included polishing cloth.
