WTB Vintage solid gold necklace chains 20 inches

[maryjane04]

Just thought I'd try my luck. If anyone has a yellow gold fob or toggle chain that's at least 18 inches that they're willing to part with, please let me know. Thank you!

Does it have to be vintage? I have an unused one that’s 18 inches, still has tags and says made in Italy.

Haha vintage because it's cheaper! How much are you looking at selling yours for? I think 18ct might be too expensive for me.

Are you in the US? I’m thinking 250 plus shipping and insurance. I don’t have a use for it because it’s a bit too long and chunky for my tastes.

I weighed it but I think the amount is a bit off because of the tag. The tag itself says it’s 4.57g.

I'm from Australia. Aww it may look chunky but it's not that heavy. I was hoping for a rollo/belcher style that's a little heavier (7g+). My pendant is like 11g+ so I need something heavier. Let me see once I get the pendant if it could work.

Ah, ok. Probably not worth shipping from the states if it’s not what you’re looking for to work with your pendant. Good luck finding the right chain!

I found one this morning on eBay, but it is only 17", unfortunately. The starting price per gram is EXCELLENT though!!

I have a yellow gold flat s-chain that is 23 3/4 inches, and is 4.47 grams. 14k, Italian, spring ring clasp. It's in great condition, no kinks. It's only 1.3mm thick, so it might be too delicate for your pendant, but let me know if you are interested.

Oh that would be perfect but my neck is quite thick lol, actually because of the albert clasp it might add length and just could work. It is definitely a steal! Thank you for the link

Thanks for thinking of me, it might be a bit too delicate. Appreciate your response though!

I have an antique chain with lovely bullet clasp that is either 51 or 56 cm long. It is unfortunately too long for me. I will measure it for you, once I am home

Thanks Sandy. I looked but couldn't see the price?

I think it said either $950 or $995. I don't know why it's in the "Backroom" now.....but the links are gorgeous!!

Ha, me too with the “thick neck”.
Firstly, make sure of your pendants “bale size”. While a thicker, ornate chain can be beautiful, if the pendant bale isn’t big enough - bummer.
For better “bang for your buck” look at 9ct as well. Most preloved chains are priced according to their gold content.
Chain types for better “visual size” for the weight are belcher link and rope. I don’t recommend box link chain because if they break, you can’t repair them.

@maryjane04 I heard back from the store owner, the chain sold shortly after posting this morning. It was $950 for 23.5" of 14k weighing just over 17g. Darnit!!

Yeah I don't want a thick gangster chain lol but not a thin lightweight one either. I'll definitely look around.

Oh damn 14k is so good too and that's a hefty weight. Boo I missed out.
