Is this real gold or plated?

It is solid 10K yellow gold, stamped 10K, not gold plated or gold filled. The whole chain is the same alloy.

How does 10K compare with 14K gold?

10K is 41.7% gold versus 58.3% for 14K. It is harder and resists scratches better, but it looks slightly paler and is worth less by weight.

Can I wear it with a pendant?

Yes. The chain is built to carry a pendant, but check the bail size against the clasp and link width on the style you pick.

What lengths are available?

Lengths vary by link style, typically from about 16 to 24 inches. Confirm the length on the specific style before ordering.

Will it tarnish or turn my skin green?

Solid gold does not tarnish or turn skin green. Keep it away from chlorine and harsh cleaners, and store it dry.

Can it be resized or repaired?

Kay stores can adjust length and repair the chain. Keep the receipt, since service terms depend on the purchase record.

Our take on the Kay Jewelers Solid 10K Yellow Gold Chain Necklace

A solid 10K yellow gold chain necklace from Kay Jewelers, sold in several link styles and lengths. It is a mainstream fine-jewelry piece: real gold, a stamped karat, and a chain that works on its own or with a pendant. 10K gold is harder and more scratch-resistant than 14K or 18K, but it looks slightly paler and holds less gold by weight. Buyers rate it well overall, though some find the chain thinner than expected for the stated width.
