Is this chain real gold?

No. It is 316L stainless steel with gold plating, so the color comes from a coating rather than solid gold. The steel base resists rust and tarnish, but the plating can wear with heavy daily use.

Will it irritate sensitive skin?

316L stainless steel is one of the more skin-friendly metals and is widely used in hypoallergenic jewelry. Buyers with metal allergies report no irritation, though anyone with a known nickel allergy should still be cautious.

What length should I pick?

A 26-inch chain sits below the collarbone and works over a shirt or with a pendant. Shorter lengths sit at the base of the neck; longer ones drape lower on the chest.

Can I wear it in the shower or at the gym?

The steel handles water and sweat well, but repeated exposure to soap, chlorine and sweat speeds up plating wear. Rinse and dry it after workouts to keep the finish longer.

Does it come with a pendant?

No. It is a plain chain with no pendant, so it works on its own or with a pendant you add.

Is it heavy on the neck?

At 4mm the chain is moderate in weight. It is heavier than a thin fashion chain but lighter than the 8mm-plus Cubans that some wearers find tiring.

Our take on the Prosteel Cuban Link Chain Plain Necklace, 26"

The Prosteel Cuban Link Chain is a 4mm plain necklace in 316L stainless steel, a metal that resists tarnish and is usually kinder to sensitive skin than brass or copper alloys. The link pattern is a tight interlocking Cuban style, so it reads as a solid chain rather than a rope. At 4mm it sits in the middle: heavier than a thin fashion chain, lighter than the chunky statement Cubans that pull at the neck. Owners rate it well overall, and the main trade-offs are the gold plating, which wears over time on plated steel, and the clasp, which some find small for the chain's weight.
