Weight is the main driver
A heavier chain in the same carat contains more pure gold and therefore has a higher metal value.
FAQs
How do I weigh a gold chain?+
Use jewellery scales accurate to 0.01g. Remove pendants or clasps that are not gold before weighing.
Does chain style affect value?+
Resale metal value depends on gold weight and purity, not style. Designer or branded chains may have additional resale value.
What if the clasp is a different carat?+
Some chains use a different carat clasp. For the most accurate estimate, weigh the gold parts separately by carat.
