Gold-plated sterling silver chain (often referred to as gold vermeil if the gold coating meets specific thickness standards.
While the chain appears gold on the outside, a "925" hallmark on the clasp indicates that the underlying metal core is actually 92.5% pure sterling silver. The gold color is achieved by applying a thin layer of real gold over the silver base using an electrolytic process.
Key Characteristics & Dimensions
- Chain Style: It is a dainty, multi-faceted link chain—specifically a sparkle / rock chain or a mariner/anchor variant designed with flat, reflective segments that catch the light efficiently.
- Length: Looking at the Westcott stainless steel ruler next to the chain, the necklace is folded in half and aligns from the 0-inch mark down to approximately the 8.5-inch mark. This confirms that the total unfolded length of the necklace is 17 to 18 inches, which is a standard princess length for necklaces.
