Is this pendant solid gold or plated?

It is solid 14K two-tone gold, so the color runs through the metal rather than sitting in a plating that can wear off. It is not gold-filled or vermeil.

Does it come with a chain?

No. Only the pendant and a gift box are included, so you need to add a chain. A 1 mm to 1.5 mm gold chain in yellow or white gold suits the bail and the medium weight.

How big is it in person?

It measures about 35 mm long and 18 mm wide, roughly the height of a large postage stamp. That is a medium crucifix: noticeable on a neckline without looking oversized.

Is it suitable for a man or a woman?

The medium size and detailed lacy edge work for either. Many buyers give it to women for a first communion or confirmation and to men as a smaller everyday cross.

Will the two-tone finish match my other gold jewelry?

The piece combines yellow and white gold tones, so it sits between the two. It pairs most cleanly with two-tone or mixed-metal chains rather than a single-tone set.

How should I care for it?

Wipe it with a soft cloth after wear and keep it out of chlorine and harsh cleaners. Store it separately so the polished surface and lacy edges do not rub against harder pieces.
