90-Day Review: Is the Vintage Scissors Necklace Worth the Hype?

For the past 90 days, I've been wearing this distinctive piece of jewelry—the Stainless Steel Vintage Scissors Necklace. I purchased it on a whim while searching for quality winter SumsFashion Products and decided to add an accessory to complete my look.

This review is for anyone concerned about inexpensive jewelry fading or causing skin discoloration. I've worn this necklace nearly every day and will provide a detailed, day-by-day account of how this Mini Pendant has performed.

Before buying any budget-friendly jewelry, keep these three tips in mind:

Day 1: First Impressions

The package arrived promptly. This particular necklace is described as a "Vintage Scissors Design Mini Pendant." The gold finish appeared vibrant—almost too vibrant, which always raises concerns about plating quality for me.

The pendant itself is quite small, measuring roughly 3 cm in length. The detailing is impressive; it genuinely resembles a tiny, functional pair of scissors, though they don't actually open. This is a major plus, as it keeps the design sleek and prevents snagging.

The chain is marketed as a "Sweater Chain," meaning it's longer than a standard choker. It fell just past my collarbone, which was perfect for layering over sweaters.

Material Check: The listing stated "Stainless Steel" but did not specify 316L. This immediately lowered my expectations for its longevity. Inexpensive stainless steel often means the gold coating will fail quickly.

Verdict: A unique design, but I was skeptical about the overly bright gold color and the lack of 316L confirmation. I decided to start wearing it right away.

Week 1: Getting Used to It

The first week was all about comfort. Because the pendant is lightweight and small, I hardly noticed it was there. I wore it over thick t-shirts and under lighter jackets.

The chain performed well. It didn't snag my neck hairs or twist into annoying knots—a common issue with cheaper chains. This was a pleasant surprise.

The Shower Test

I know you're not supposed to shower in plated jewelry, but I wanted to test the "stainless steel" claim. I wore it in the shower on Day 4. There was no immediate change, which is a good sign. Typically, very cheap plating shows water spots almost instantly.
