- Is this chain solid silver or plated?
- It is oxidized sterling silver, which is 92.5% silver, not a plated base metal. The dark color comes from a surface oxidation treatment on the silver.
- Will the oxidized finish wear off?
- The oxidation sits on the surface, so areas that rub against skin or clothing can lighten over months of daily wear. Cleaning with a silver cloth removes it faster, so avoid polishing the whole chain.
- How wide is it compared with a typical men's curb chain?
- At 2 mm it is on the slim side. Many men's curb chains run 4 to 6 mm, so this one is closer to a subtle collar chain than a statement piece.
- What length is it and where will it sit?
- It is 24 inches, which generally falls at or just below the collarbone on most men. That length works over a shirt collar or under an open button-down.
- What clasp does it use?
- It has a lobster clasp, which is a secure trigger-style clasp that is easy to open and close one-handed.
- How should I care for it?
- Keep it dry, store it in a sealed bag away from air and moisture, and wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Skip silver dip or abrasive polish, which strip the oxidized finish.
