    From what i have seen from A LOT of reviewers the chain will fade a bit after 2-3 weeks (but it will make it look even more real) in other words… The super Bright yellow you get at the beginning (from being NEW) will fade into a more natural gold look. Then it will stay that color for over a year. Recommendation is to NOT clean them with any gold cleaning materials. Since you have another metal underneath the gold it will react to it and fade.

    Great video man! These videos help consumers make informed decisions!
    A little tip to separate thinly gold plated items from thicker plated sterling silver chains is placing them in a box for a couple weeks. Pretty reliable tests without waiting months.
    In the past manufacturer’s hallmarked items H.G.E., which stood for Heavy Gold Electroplated. This is also regulated.
    *So if suppliers and sellers don’t at least hallmark the jewelry, just always assume it’s a thinly plated gold layer! If they call it vermeil, the minimum thickness must be 2.5 microns, if it isn’t then they are not following FTC guidelines!
    Sincerely,
    TBBW🐺

      @TheUniverse420 Vermeil is better than gold plated, so it should last quite a while. I just haven't had any luck with gold-plating when it comes to Jaxxon products, so I quit buying from them

    I was just talkin about this and your video popped up in my feed. U da man. They claim to be three times bonded but they don't use the word vermeil in their advertising which was a red flag for me. Almost seems like a way for them to get out of any accountability for not being 2.5 microns thick if that's the case. Also I've seen a lot of videos of them fading pretty bad I can only imagine if you wore it everyday. But I don't agree with you they have decent prices they basically charging triple the price for their chains. Almost the price of hollow. Supposedly they offer a free replacement chain but even then you're still paying double. I mean for example HB has a few five times electroplated options for third of the price. I think these guys are just great at marketing and most people buying from them and not doing any deep research. I had one guy tell me he believed that Jackson is the only one plating on Silver I kid you not. Lol

    What’s crazy to me is as the plating is wearing off it’s turning red which means underneath is prob jewelers brass which that means they are lying to customers. They claim it’s stainless. If it was stainless it would turn silver not red.
