Plating wears
Plating wears. When it does, the base metal touches your skin. How long that takes depends on the thickness, where you wear it, and how often. We list the thickness so you can compare.
The base metal on this piece is brass, and brass contains nickel. Once the gold is gone, brass is the surface against your skin.
About this piece
Chains wear differently from rings: the links rub each other rather than the world, so the plating goes on the inside faces of the links before it goes on the outside.
What we would tell you before you buy
You will see the wear at the back of the neck last and at the clasp first.

Your rights on this order
You can report a fault for three years from delivery. For the first two years, if something is wrong, we have to show it wasn't faulty when you got it. Not the other way round.
You have fourteen days to change your mind, counted from the day after your parcel arrives. You do not have to give a reason. This piece is not sealed, so that right applies in full.
If we say no to your claim and you disagree, you can take it to Allmänna reklamationsnämnden (ARN). It is free for you, and we will follow their recommendation.
Not sure this is the right metal?
Metal Match asks three questions about what you have worn before. It does not ask about your health, and it cannot tell you what you react to.
