- Is 16 inches long enough for an adult?
- 16 inches is a choker-length fit that sits at the base of the neck on most adults. It works well layered, but anyone who prefers a pendant below the collarbone should look for 18 inches or a chain with an extender.
- Will the gold plating wear off?
- Plated jewelry eventually wears where it rubs against skin and clothing. Keep perfume, lotion and chlorine off it, wipe it after wearing, and store it dry to slow that down.
- Is it safe for sensitive skin?
- Mint Lily lists it as nickel free, which is the usual trigger for reactions to cheap jewelry. The sterling silver base also helps, though plated pieces are not hypoallergenic for everyone.
- What is the cross made of?
- The pendant is set with crystal and cubic zirconia stones in a pave arrangement. Cubic zirconia is a lab-made stone, so it sparkles but is not a diamond.
- Is $89 a fair price?
- For 18K gold over sterling silver with a stone-set pendant, $89 is in line with plated fashion jewelry from department stores. It is the only new price listed as of November 7, 2026, so compare against similar gold-plated cross necklaces before buying.
