Yellow Gold Chains

Pick by how much presence you want. Cable and box chains are quiet and work well alone or holding a pendant. Rope, curb and figaro chains have more texture and stand out worn by themselves. Browse rope chains if you want that bolder look.

14K has more gold and a richer yellow color. 10K has a lower gold content, which makes it a little harder and a good fit for chains worn often. This page includes both, and most chains here are 14K, so check the title for the karat.

Fine widths of about 0.5mm to 1mm suit most pendants. Cable and box chains in these sizes let the pendant take center stage. Check that the pendant's bail fits over the chain, and choose a wider chain if you want the chain to be seen too.

Diamond-cut means the links have small flat facets. These facets catch light and give the chain extra sparkle compared with a plain polished finish. You will see it in some cable and rope styles on this page, and the product title will say so.

Karat, width, length and construction drive the price. 14K costs differently than 10K, and a wider, longer or solid chain uses more gold than a fine, short or semi-solid one. Diamond accents also play a part. Use the Price filter on this page to set a budget.

Cable chains lead, followed by rope and paperclip styles. Flat cable, wheat, box and figaro chains also rank near the top of the list. Many of these come in several lengths, so you can pick one that sits where you like.
