No. It is sterling silver plated with 18k gold. The silver core gives it weight, but the gold is a surface layer that can wear.

How long is it, and where does it sit?

It is 24 inches, so it falls at or just below the collarbone on most people. That length suits open necklines and works as a base for layering.

Will the gold plating wear off?

Plating wears faster with sweat, perfume and friction. Take it off before showering or exercising and wipe it after wear to slow fading.

Can I wear it every day?

Yes, but daily wear speeds up plating wear. It holds up better as an occasional or layered piece than as a never-removed chain.

Does it come with an extender?

No. The length is fixed at 24 inches with a lobster clasp, so there is no adjustment.

How should I clean it?

Use a soft dry cloth after wear. Avoid abrasive polishes and harsh cleaners, which can strip the gold plating.

Our take on the Macy's Rope Link 24" Chain Necklace in 18k Gold-Plated Sterling Silver

This is a 24-inch rope-link chain in 18k gold-plated sterling silver, with a lobster clasp and a polished finish. The rope twist gives it more texture and presence than a plain cable chain, so it reads as a statement on its own but still layers. At 24 inches it sits at or below the collarbone on most people, which suits open necklines and pendants alike. It is a fashion-jewelry piece: the gold plating over sterling silver will wear over time, so it competes with solid gold and vermeil chains on looks rather than on longevity.

Best forShoppers who want a textured gold look without solid goldWearing alone with open necklinesLayering with pendants and shorter chainsGift for everyday or occasion wear
