looking for a statement chain that adds texture and mixed hues into a layered look? this might do the trick. it's a twisty delight made from gold plated sterling silver box chain twisted around/through a sterling silver rope chain. could you wear it with the lobster clasp styled in the front and doubling as a pendant holder for a charm/pendant with a dainty bail? surely!
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.
