Questions about this piece

How long is the chain?

The chain is 16-18 in long. It sits at the base of the neck.

Is it solid gold?

It is karat gold, not plated. Some options are hollow, which keeps them light for their size; hollow pieces dent more easily, so treat them gently.

Will gold tarnish?

Karat gold does not rust, and in normal wear it does not tarnish. Lotion and soap film can dull it; warm water, a drop of mild dish soap, and a soft brush bring the shine back.

Is sterling silver real silver?

Yes. Sterling silver is 92.5% pure silver, alloyed with a small amount of other metal for strength.

Will sterling silver tarnish?

Yes, slowly, with air and skin contact. Store it in a closed pouch and polish it with a silver cloth. Rhodium-plated silver resists tarnish until the plating wears.

Can I wear it in the shower or pool?

Take it off to swim, bathe, or use a hot tub: chlorine and salt water speed tarnish on sterling silver and chlorine in pools and hot tubs can weaken karat gold alloys over time. If it gets wet, rinse in clean water and pat dry.
