- Is the Steadfast Necklace real gold?
- No. It is 14k gold-plated stainless steel, so the gold is a layer over a steel core, not solid gold throughout.
- Can I wear it in the shower or at the gym?
- Stainless steel handles water and sweat better than brass or copper, but the gold plating is the part that wears. Rinse and dry it after swimming in chlorinated or salt water to keep the finish.
- Will the gold plating tarnish or turn my skin green?
- The steel core will not turn skin green the way copper alloys can. The plating itself can dull or wear thin over time, especially with perfume, lotion and friction.
- Is it good for layering?
- Yes. The fine chain and small cross are designed to sit alongside other chains, and the plain gold tone mixes easily with other gold or two-tone pieces.
- How does it compare with a solid 14k gold cross necklace?
- A solid gold piece lasts indefinitely and holds value, but it is far more expensive and softer. This one is tougher against bending and scratches and costs much less, at the price of plating that can eventually wear.
- What makes this necklace different from other gold crosses?
- The stainless steel build and the artisan sourcing. It is made by women artisans in East Asia through a program aimed at helping them out of exploitation.
