Learn About Gold Necklaces

The gold necklace is classic accessory that adds radiant glimmer to your neckline.  Gold is one of the most popular precious metals used in fine jewellery and a standard metal for traditional jewellery of all cultures.  Due to the overwhelming popularity of gold in jewellery, gold necklaces span a vast range of styles, lengths, thicknesses and designs. 

Standard Gold Necklaces

Gold Chains

Gold chains are fundamental gold necklaces. While many gold chains are simple and subtle in design, gold chains range in thickness, style and length. The thinnest and most delicate gold chains are typically used to hold pendants or charms. Thicker and more intricate gold chains such as braided gold chains or rope gold chains are popular both as men’s gold necklaces and women’s gold necklaces and can be worn long or short.

Italian Gold Necklaces

Italian gold necklaces are a unique take on the gold chain. Italian gold necklaces are entirely unisex and have quite a large range in style. Some popular Italian Gold Necklaces include Omega gold necklaces which feature many small, tightly-set gold links.   The finished look is a clean, flat or domed, flexible necklace that is commonly worn at shorter lengths. The Byzantine Gold Necklace is another popular Italian Gold Necklace comprised of a series of knotted and interlinked chains.  

Gold Bead Necklaces

Gold bead necklaces are classic and elegant, featuring a flexible strand of gold beads that hangs gracefully from the neck. The beads may be identical, or may increase in size as they reach the centre of the necklace. These may also be referred to as gold graduated necklaces. The gold bead necklace can be worn at any length.

Unique Gold Necklaces

Indian Gold Necklaces

Indian Gold Necklaces are well known for being extraordinarily elaborate and ornate.  The Indian gold necklace is a traditional and basic element of a bride’s decorative costume on her wedding day, embellished with bells, gold fringe and sometimes precious gemstones.

Gold Gemstone Necklaces

Gold Gemstone Necklaces incorporate precious gemstones such as emeralds, rubies, sapphires and pearls into the necklace. They may take any shape or form and offer a slightly higher level of sophistication and formality than the basic gold necklace.

Multi-Strand Gold Necklaces

Multi-strand gold necklaces are youthful and attractive.  They offer a fun way of layering simple gold chains or gold bead necklaces while keeping the layers at the same comfortable length.   They are a perfect accessory for a night out on the town but also work well with a smart blouse or tailored suit. 

Chain Types

Twisted Rope Chain

Twisted rope chains feature oval links tightly spiraled together to create a texture much like that of a rope. When two or more of these ropes are twisted together, the twisted rope effect is formed. Lightweight but durable, the twisted rope chain is the perfect complement to any pendant, and is also lovely on its own.

Cable Chain

Cable chains, also known as link chains, feature round or oval, uniformly shaped links. The cable chain may feature miniscule links or can boast larger, more prominent links. The cable chain is perhaps one of the most popular chains used in necklaces and pendants due to the design’s versatility and elegance.

Quadra Wheat Chain

Quadra Wheat chains are made up of four strands of oval links, twisted and braded together in order to form a uniform strand. This type of necklace or pendant chain is valued for its incredibly unique textured look, as well as its durability.

Round Wheat Chain

A round wheat chain features rounded links, braided together to form a single, textured strand. The chain gets its name from its unique textured appearance, which resembles a stalk of wheat. Wheat chains are notoriously durable and are popularly used.
