I buy fake earrings all the time cause they're easy to lose and I take them out all the time for my job and hobbies; but I want a Cuban link to go with my black sweater and don't want my neck to turn green.

No

Just Buy Stainless steel or sterling silver till you step your money up

i just got a Miabella silver chain off of amazon and its authentic, i wouldn't get fake gold, it will probably turn your neck green. you can get a silver cuban link for less than $200 and it looks fly too

What about Gold plated y'all?

nah you want something that you can at least have raw material value for. silver is a good option for that but if you want gold id save up and just buy gold

gold plated won't last forever but if you're dead set, it's for sure better than fake gold
