The silver IS sterling Silver, but it is also plated and not solid sterling. I have worn these chains during everyday use and in the shower - no change in them. The pendant however is not made for everyday use so I would not bathe in it.
Shipping allowed (maximum) for jewelry on Listia is $6. but you have to use it all for shipping and cannot make any profit on it. This is a totally free site with minimal shipping encouraged. We would like to keep it that way, How about Ebay for your valuable things like this? its gorgeous, but I will not buy anything on a free site.
