FAQ’s
What size chain should a man wear?
Men’s chains tend to range from 18 inches to 30 inches. Our collection features chains of 18-inch length upwards, which allows the chain to sit fashionably just below the collar bones. This is a fashionable and popular way to wear a gent’s chain that does not have a pendant.
What is second-hand jewellery worth?
As a general rule, second-hand jewellery is much better value for money than anything new. Not only do you get more for your money, but the craftsmanship and design of second-hand jewellery is almost always more unique than anything new and mass-produced. Jewellery can also rise in value over time, making it worth more than anything newly made.
Is 9-carat or 18-carat gold better?
Both 9-carat and 18-carat gold chains are beautiful options for jewellery. While 18ct is purer gold and has a lower proportion of other metals, 9-carat gold is even more hard wearing. 9-carat gold is very lightweight and durable, and provides excellent value for money. Conversely, an 18-carat gold chain will rarely tarnish, and has a stunning warm, yellow hue that distinguishes it as purer gold.
Is 18-carat good quality?
18-carat gold is a high quality gold that is also very wearable. While 24-carat gold is the purest form of gold, it is soft and malleable, which means it can wear and damage a lot easier. An 18-carat gold chain is a great option for everyday jewellery and can last for a lifetime if looked after properly.
What type of gold chain is best?
Gold curb chain necklaces are very popular and highly durable due to their soldered links, making them highly resistant to breakage. 9-carat or 18-carat gold is recommended for chains that are to be worn every day, as they offer durability and are unlikely to tarnish. Second-hand men’s gold chains in 9-carat or 18-carat are therefore a fantastic investment.
How can you tell how old a vintage chain is?
You can estimate the age of a chain necklace by looking at its design, materials, and any markings or hallmarks. Check for any dates or maker's marks on them as these can provide clues about their age. Our expert team have over 50 years of experience in inspecting vintage jewellery and take great pride in successfully identifying jewellery age correctly.
