The necklace IS itself gold, the clasp is NOT and had created a huge allergic reaction rash around my neck I am EXTREMELY unhappy I even checked the necklace and the clasp is able to be attracted to a magnet - it is is NOT gold! I would like a way to return this and get my money back I do not like wearing a necklace that I believe to be gold and breaking out in a rash around my neck - the reason I bought an item from THIS website is because I believed it to be a reputible pplace to buy from - obviously NOT!!!!!
