it can be tricky to find a preloved gold toned sterling silver chain in good condition and this one is an especially nice example. it's a flat oval double curb chain, but the overlapping links have a fair amount of movement, which can offer a woven visual effect in some instances. it's finished off with a sturdy lobster clasp that could be styled in the front as a pendant holder if the bail is small enough to shape space
gold plating is many things: it is a lesson in non-attachment, a lovely way to prototype a gold hue without a huge financial commitment, and it is a thin layer atop this sterling silver, so it will wear away with time, wear, etc. the silver beneath will reveal itself and will form patina over time, which may create uneven dark spots throughout the gold overlay. gold plating will wear faster with hand polishing and friction, so a liquid cleaner is recommended and to lengthen the time between cleanings it's advisable to store gold plated items in a ziplock bag or similar to avoid oxidation when not being worn. yes, it can be gold plated by a jeweler in the future.
