- Is this necklace solid silver or plated?
- It is solid 925 sterling silver, not a plated base metal. The antique oxide is a surface treatment on the silver.
- How heavy is it in wear?
- Weight runs from about 42g to 108g depending on the width and length you choose. The wider, longer versions are noticeably heavy on the neck.
- Will the darkened finish fade?
- The oxide is a surface treatment, so high points that rub against skin or clothing can lighten over time. Re-oxidizing is possible but not something you can do at home easily.
- Does sterling silver turn skin green?
- Sterling silver contains copper, which can leave a faint mark on some skin, especially when new or when the wearer sweats. It is not the same as cheap plated jewelry.
- How should I care for it?
- Keep it away from chlorine and perfume, wipe it after wear, and polish with a silver cloth. Store it dry and separate from other metals to slow tarnishing.
- Can a man wear the pendant version daily?
- Yes, but the pendant and oxide finish make it a casual piece. It works with tees and open collars and looks out of place with a suit.
