- Is this chain solid gold or plated?
- It is solid 14k yellow gold throughout, not a plated or gold-filled chain. That means the color stays gold even if it gets scratched.
- Will a herringbone chain kink?
- Yes, that is the main risk with this style. The flat, woven links bend sharply if they are creased or stored loosely, and a kink usually cannot be pressed out. Store it flat or hanging and avoid sleeping in it.
- What length and width is it?
- It is 18 inches long and about 3.9 mm wide. That length sits at the collarbone on most women and works alone or layered with a finer chain.
- What kind of clasp does it have?
- It has a lobster clasp. It is a secure, common closure, though some people find it takes two hands to fasten.
- Can it be worn every day?
- It can, but 14k gold is soft and the flat links show scratches and dulling over time. It holds up better than plated chains, but take it off for gym sessions, swimming and sleep.
- How should I clean it?
- Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth and avoid abrasive polishes, which dull the herringbone finish. Keep it away from perfume and chlorine.
