Chains and Bracelets

Weight Matters More Than Length

The number that decides whether a gold chain lasts is not its length, it is its weight. Two chains of identical appearance can differ substantially in gold content, and the lighter one is the one that stretches, kinks and eventually parts. We quote weight as well as length for exactly that reason.

Link style then decides how it wears. Rope and Figaro hold up well and hide wear; box and snake are cleaner but less forgiving of a sharp bend; curb sits flat and is the usual choice for a bracelet. For anything carrying a pendant, the chain has to be matched to the weight it is holding.

We size chains and bracelets in our George Town workshop, and we repair them, which on a gold chain usually means a broken link or a failed clasp rather than the chain itself.

Questions

Good to Know

Is 14k or 18k gold better for a chain?

For a chain that gets daily wear, 14-carat is the more practical choice: it contains less pure gold and is therefore harder and more resistant to stretching. 18-carat has a richer colour and higher gold content, and suits pieces worn less roughly.

How do I know a gold chain is good quality?

Ask for the weight, not just the length. Two visually identical chains can differ substantially in gold content, and the lighter one stretches and breaks. Weight is the honest number and we quote it.

Can you repair a broken gold chain?

Yes, in our George Town workshop. Most breaks are a single failed link or a worn clasp rather than a problem with the chain, and both are straightforward repairs, often done while you wait.
