Is this chain solid silver or plated?

It is solid sterling silver with a rhodium plating over the surface for a bright white finish. The plating adds tarnish resistance but the metal underneath is sterling throughout.

How wide is the chain and how long?

The chain is 5.7mm wide and 22 inches long. That width reads as a substantial chain rather than a delicate one, and 22 inches sits below the collarbone on most wearers.

Will the diamond-cut finish wear off?

The facets are cut into the metal itself, so they do not flake or peel. They can dull over time with rough wear, so store it separately and avoid abrasive cloths.

Can I wear it with a pendant?

The crab links are closed, so a pendant would need its own bail threaded over the chain or a clip-on attachment. It is designed mainly as a standalone chain.

Does sterling silver chain tarnish?

Sterling silver tarnishes with exposure to air and moisture, though the rhodium plating slows it. Wipe it after wear and keep it in a dry pouch to limit dulling.
