I purchased this necklace as a gift thinking that the gold ingot would look like the one I have bought from another home shopping company. I knew it was plainer looking, I could tell that in the picture. But after I ordered it, I realized that the description did not tell me what the bezel was made from. I contacted customer service and they told me that it was vermeil, just like the chain. I was o.k. with that, I just thought it should have been in the description. After I got the ingot, I realized that the ingot was not marked with numbers on the back like the one I had ordered from another home shopping company. I don't know if that means anything, since I just was buying it for a gift, but I wondered about it.I did not call customer service,but I would recommend you investigate this aspect before buying,
