Is this real sterling silver or plated?

It is solid sterling silver, not plated over a base metal. The 3.5mm herringbone links are silver throughout.

Will a herringbone chain kink?

Herringbone links are flat and can bend or kink if crushed. Store it flat or hanging and avoid sleeping or exercising in it.

What length is it and where does it sit?

It is 18 inches, which typically rests at the collarbone. That makes it easy to wear alone or layer with shorter and longer chains.

Does sterling silver tarnish?

Yes, sterling silver tarnishes over time, especially with exposure to moisture, perfume and air. A silver polishing cloth restores the shine.

Yes, the necklace is made in Italy.

How wide is the chain?

The links are 3.5mm wide, giving a noticeable but not heavy ribbon look.

Our take on the Kay Jewelers Herringbone Chain Necklace Solid

A solid sterling silver herringbone chain from Kay Jewelers, made in Italy with 3.5mm flat links and an 18-inch length. The fluid, close-lying herringbone weave gives a smooth ribbon of shine that sits flat against the neck, a look that costs more in gold vermeil or solid gold rivals. At 18 inches it lands at the collarbone, so it layers well or wears alone. Owners rate it highly for its polished look and everyday versatility.
