Is this chain solid gold or plated?

It is solid 14K yellow gold, per the listing's metal purity. That means the gold content runs through the piece, not just a coating.

Will a herringbone chain kink?

Yes, herringbone is prone to kinks and creases if it is bent sharply or stored in a tangle. Lay it flat in a pouch or box and avoid sleeping in it.

Should I get the 16-inch or 18-inch?

The 16-inch sits close to the collarbone and suits smaller necks or a choker look. The 18-inch is safer for most adults and costs more because it uses more gold.

Can I wear a pendant on it?

A very light pendant is fine, but the flat 3mm links are not built for heavy charms. A heavy pendant will stretch and distort the weave.

When is the best time to buy it?

Gold chains follow the metal price, so watch for Zales jewelry promotions and holiday sales rather than expecting deep markdowns. Compare the price against the recent range before buying.

Our take on the Zales Ladies' Herringbone Chain Necklace in 14K Gold

A 14K yellow gold herringbone chain from Zales, 3mm wide and offered in 16- and 18-inch lengths, closed with a lobster claw clasp. The flat, close-linked herringbone weave gives a polished ribbon look that lies flat on the neck. It is a solid-gold piece, so the price tracks the gold market more than seasonal sales. Zales lists it at $450.00 as of November 3.
