Normal
I bought gold by the inch, and let me tell you, it is not solid gold. I figured something was up with the prices as cheap as they were. I bought gold by the inch to make an anklet. I wore it all the time and eventually the gold wore off. Ended up I had purchesed gold plating over sterling silver. I suppose if I hadn't worn it all the time, it would still look like gold, but for such a cheap price, it wasn't so bad.
