Gold and Silver Necklaces - A Buyers Guide

If you are looking for a gold or silver necklace to wear either on its own or with a pendant and would like to know a little more, this guide should furnish you with the data you need to make an informed decision. Necklaces are normally a series of one or more types of link interlocked to make a chain. The carat index is used to quantum the Syn. Clearness of gold. This is often expressed by a hallmark consisting of 3 digits engraved into the piece. These generally range from 375 (9ct - the most dilute) to 999 (24ct - the purest). Silver has a similar index which should also be engraved into the piece. These range from 750 (lowest) to 999.9 (highest). Sterling silver (which is generally used in jewellery) should have '925' engraved somewhere on it.

Link Types

Cuban Gold Chains

Silver and gold necklaces are made from a collection of different types of link. Belcher links are normally torus (ring) shaped and interlock at 90 degrees to the next link. Curb Links are the first-rate shaped link used for chains exterior of jewellery. They can either be made flat or undulated. In either case each link joins to the next at the same angle so when laid flat all links can be orientated the same way. Cuban links are a similar shape to curb links but their width makes each link roughly circular. Bead links are spheres with a hole bored through to allow a shore to run in the middle of them. A spacer may be used to keep the beads at a uniform distance. Rope links give the impression of a particular woven shore by interlocking the links into a spiral shape.

Pendants

You may wish to attach a pendant to the gold or silver necklace you are purchasing. The only thing to keep in mind is the type of links used for the chain. If the necklace is going to be worn with a great pendant the shape of the links in the necklace are worth considering. You will want to select a rounded link which allows the pendant to move freely without snagging. One such link is the belcher link. In the event you select a necklace is not convenient for your chosen pendant, a responsible jeweller should edify you of the guess and suggest a different necklace.

Costs

The price of silver or gold necklaces are generally governed by the Syn. Clearness of the costly metal used to make it and the weight but in some cases designer branding can further increase the price and handmade jewellery generally costs more than jewellery that has been built by machine. As an example, 9ct solid gold necklaces are generally less than £100 where the handmade equivalent could cost upwards of £500. Remember this does not refer to gold plated jewellery (which costs significantly less).
