Gold over steelThe plating is what you see; the steel underneath is what makes it last. That combination gives a warm gold tone with none of the softness of actual gold, which scratches and bends far more readily.At 20g it has real presence in the hand. The head is sculpted in the round and fills the whole top of the ring, ears pricked, muzzle turned to one side with the jaw parted, and the fur cut in deep separate strands so the gold breaks into light and shadow rather than sitting flat. Behind it the shank is left plain and polished.When gold is the right callMatch your metals. If you already wear a gold watch, or gold jewelry of any kind, this will look intentional. If everything else you own is steel or silver, it will look accidental, and the silver version of a similar design is the better buy.Gold also pairs better with brown leather than silver does, which matters if you wear a leather strap or a brown belt.Specification Stainless steel, gold plated Weight around 20g US sizes 7 to 12 Plated finishes wear gradually at the high points of a carving over years.
