18K Gold-Plated Titanium Steel Necklace | 100500271931002

How to Measure

Use these quick steps to confirm fit and dimensions before ordering.

• Necklace length (on you):
  1. Wrap a soft tape (or string) around your neck to the spot you want the necklace to sit.
  2. Mark the point, lay the string flat, and measure end‑to‑end in cm. That measurement is your ideal chain length.
  3. If the necklace has a pendant, add the pendant height to estimate where the bottom will fall.
• Necklace length (on an existing chain you own):
  1. Lay the chain flat and measure from clasp end to clasp end. Include the clasp; exclude any detachable pendant.
  2. If there is an extender, measure the extender separately and note its length (commonly 5 cm).
• Chain thickness:
  1. Place the chain against a millimeter ruler and read the widest point of a link (typical everyday chains are ~1–3 mm).
• Pendant dimensions (if applicable):
  1. Height: top of bail to bottom of pendant.
  2. Width: side‑to‑side at the widest point.
  3. Bail opening: inner height/width to confirm it fits other chains.
• Fit tips (quick guide):
  • Choker: 35–40 cm • Collarbone/“princess”: 40–45 cm • Below collarbone: 50–55 cm.
  • Add 2–4 cm to your neck circumference for a close fit; 5–7 cm for collarbone; 10–15 cm for a lower drop.

Note: Measurements are approximate and may vary slightly due to manual measuring and chain style.

Materials & Quality

18K Gold Plating

18K gold contains 75% pure gold alloyed for strength, giving a luxurious warm yellow tone. Gold plating places a thin layer of 18K gold over the base metal to achieve real‑gold color and shine with a lighter, everyday‑wear profile. Plating thickness and method vary by maker; gentle care helps preserve the finish over time.

Titanium Steel Base

Often marketed as “titanium steel,” this typically refers to high‑grade stainless steel (commonly 316L) or a titanium‑alloyed steel. It is known for:

• Durability and scratch resistance for daily wear.
• Excellent corrosion and tarnish resistance.
• Skin‑friendly properties for most people with metal sensitivities.

Plating Technology

Many modern pieces use IP/PVD coating or electroplating for color longevity. IP/PVD tends to be harder and more abrasion‑resistant than traditional electrolytic plating. Actual method may vary by batch.

Allergic sensitivities vary by individual. If you are highly sensitive to metals, consider patch‑testing and avoid prolonged moisture or friction at contact points.

On‑Model Reference

If shown on a model, use this as a visual guide to estimate how it will sit on you.

• Collarbone look typically corresponds to 40–45 cm chains for most neck sizes.
• A lower, everyday drop is usually 50–55 cm.
• Layering sweet spot: 38–40 cm + 45 cm + 50–55 cm.

• Model wearing length: — cm
• Approx. chain thickness on model: — mm
• Approx. pendant size on model: — mm × — mm

Appearance varies with neck circumference, shoulder width, and pendant size.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Last on, first off: apply perfume, lotions, and hair products before wearing.
• Remove before showering, swimming, workouts, and sleeping. Avoid saltwater, chlorine, and hot tubs.
• Wipe with a soft, dry microfiber cloth after wear to remove oils and sweat.
• Clean occasionally with lukewarm water and a tiny drop of mild soap; rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Avoid abrasive cloths, polishing compounds, ultrasonic cleaners, and “dip” solutions—these can thin gold plating.
• Store separately in a pouch or box, away from humidity and direct sunlight.

Style Tips

• Everyday chic: wear solo with a tee or button‑down for a clean, minimal finish.
• Layer it: pair 38–40 cm, 45 cm, and 50–55 cm chains for dimension. Mix textures (cable, rope, paperclip) for contrast.
• Necklines: choker/short lengths flatter crew and boat necks; 45–50 cm works well with V‑necks and collared shirts.
• Match the glow: complement with small gold huggies or a sleek bracelet for a cohesive set.
• Mixed‑metal friendly: gold plating pairs beautifully with stainless or titanium accents for a modern stack.
