FAQs about Gold Chains

What types of gold chains are available at James Allen?

You can find a diverse selection of gold chain necklaces beautifully handcrafted in both 14k and 18k gold. Our collection features classic styles such as curb, rope, box, figaro, and wheat chains, catering to various preferences and budgets. Whether you're seeking a delicate piece for everyday wear or a bold statement gold chain for special occasions, we’ve got you covered.

What’s the best gold purity for a chain?

The best gold purity for a gold chain necklace depends on your lifestyle and preferences. A 14k gold chain offers the perfect balance of durability and rich color, making it ideal for everyday wear. However, if you're looking for a more luxurious option with higher gold content, an 18k gold chain provides a deeper hue and a premium feel. 

Can I wear a gold chain every day?

Yes, you can definitely wear a gold chain every day but it's important to opt for a durable style, such as a curb or Figaro chain, in 14k or 18k gold. Hollow chains are not recommended for everyday wear as they are prone to damage.

Can I wear a gold chain in the shower or while swimming?

It’s not recommended to wear a gold chain in the shower or pool. Chlorine, soaps, and other chemicals can damage the gold or weaken its durability over time, especially in hollow or plated chains. Remove your chain before exposure to water.

Are gold chains unisex?

Yes, gold chains are unisex. With their versatile designs and customizable lengths, they can be worn solo or layered to effortlessly suit your style.

Are there chain length rules for different necklines?

Choosing the right gold chain length can enhance your look by complementing your neckline. Shorter 14k or 18k gold chains (16 - 18 inches) pair well with scoop necklines, while mid-length chains (20 - 24 inches) suit V-necks and button-downs. With multiple gold chain necklaces, you can adapt the look to any outfit.
