No. It is 14K gold plated, meaning a thin gold layer over a base metal. The plating can wear with friction, water and perfume.

What wrist size does it fit?

The chain measures 5 inches with a 1.5-inch extension, so roughly 5 to 6.5 inches. That suits most children around 4 to 10 years old.

Can a child wear it in the bath or pool?

Better not. Chlorine, soap and salt water speed up plating wear and can dull the pearl. Take it off for swimming and bathing.

It is a simulated pearl, not a cultured one. Treat it gently, since it is set on a wire link and can loosen.

Small charms and a pearl pose a choking risk for children under 3. It is best for kids old enough to wear jewelry unsupervised.

Solid 14K gold resists wear and holds value, but it is heavier and plainer. This piece wins on charm detail and adjustable fit, not longevity.
