- Is this real gold or plated?
- It is described as 10K yellow gold for both the chain and the cross, so the metal is solid gold alloy, not a plating over base metal. 10K means about 41.7 percent gold, which is harder and more scratch-resistant than 14K or 18K.
- How heavy is it to wear?
- The chain is about 12 to 13 grams and the cross about 9 to 10 grams, so roughly 21 to 23 grams together. That is heavier than a thin everyday chain and noticeable on the neck.
- Will a 28-inch chain fit over a shirt?
- Yes. At 28 inches the chain hangs near the sternum and sits over a collar or sweater. For a closer fit at the base of the neck, a shorter chain would suit better.
- Can I take the cross off and wear the chain alone?
- The cross is sold as part of the set and the description does not say it has a separate bail or clasp. Assume it stays on the chain unless you have a jeweler check it.
- Does 10K gold tarnish or turn skin green?
- Solid 10K gold does not turn skin green the way plated or copper-based jewelry can. It can still dull over time and benefits from occasional cleaning with a soft cloth.
- What is in the box?
- The chain and the cross pendant. The description does not mention a gift box, pouch or certificate, so do not count on one.
