- Is this real gold?
- No. It is a base metal chain with 14k gold plating, not solid 14k gold. The plating gives the color, and it can wear over time with heavy use.
- How long is it, and where does it sit?
- It is 22 inches, so it falls around the collarbone to upper chest on most people. That length layers well over sweaters and high necklines but hangs low on petite frames.
- Can I shower or swim in it?
- Better not. Water, soap, chlorine and perfume speed up plating wear. Take it off before showering, swimming or working out to keep the finish longer.
- Is it safe for sensitive skin?
- Plated jewelry over base metal can cause reactions in people with metal allergies. If you react to nickel or brass, wear it over clothing or choose solid gold instead.
- Does it come as one piece or two chains?
- It is a single layered necklace with the rope and Figaro chains joined as one unit. You wear it as-is rather than separating the strands.
- Where is the KIRO 14k Gold Plated Rope & Figaro Layered Chain Necklace 22" cheapest?
- At Kohl's, for $16.00, as of our latest check.
