Gold Necklaces
Gold necklaces, explained
Our gold necklaces are almost all in 14K yellow gold, with 10K, 18K, two-tone and tri-color pieces: plain chains such as rope, Cuban, figaro, paperclip and box, and finished necklaces with initials, hearts, beads, pearls and lab-grown diamonds. 14K gold is 58.3% pure gold, durable enough to wear every day and in water without tarnishing.
How to choose a gold necklace
Length decides where it sits: 16 inches at the base of the neck, 18 inches at the collarbone, 20 to 22 inches below it, and 24 inches or more over clothing. Width, in millimetres, decides presence: under 2 mm is fine and layers easily, 3 to 5 mm reads clearly on its own, and wider chains make a statement. Construction matters too: solid chains keep their shape and can be repaired, while hollow and semi-solid chains look larger for less gold but dent more easily. Each product page states which it is.
What length gold necklace should I get?
18 inches, at the collarbone, is a common choice for women; 20 to 22 inches is a common choice for men.
Can you shower with a gold necklace?
Yes, 14K gold will not tarnish, but soap film dulls the shine, so rinse it and take it off for chlorine pools.
What is the difference between solid and hollow gold chains?
A solid chain is gold all the way through each link; a hollow chain is a gold tube. Solid chains are heavier, stronger and easier to repair.
