Hi! This piece of jewelry is gold plated and looks exactly like the gold sold in the Middle East (high quality imitation). Please wear it gently, and avoid scratching its plating, or getting it in contact with water, perfume, creams, and sweat, to keep its shine for the longest time possible. A few notes for your attention: When you post a nice review with a picture or video, you get a 15% off coupon for all your next purchases from my shop. This shop is still a very small business, so we do not support any returns/refunds.
