Is this real gold or gold plated?

It is 10k yellow gold throughout, not a plated or gold-filled piece. That means the color is part of the metal rather than a coating that wears off.

How does 10k gold compare with 14k?

10k is 41.7 percent gold, so it is harder and more scratch-resistant but paler in color than 14k. It costs less than 14k for the same design.

The chain is about 18 inches, a standard length that sits at the collarbone. There is no extender listed, so the length is fixed.

It uses a spring ring clasp. These are secure but small, so fastening it alone can take a little practice.

10k gold tolerates daily wear well, but take it off for swimming, showering and cleaning products to keep the nugget texture and chain bright.

It comes as a complete necklace with the forzatina chain included, so it is ready to wear.
