Are real gold chains heavy or light?
Real gold chains are supposed to be heavy. Pure gold is heavy due to its high density. If you are unsure about the gold content in your piece, you can take it to be appraised. You can also shop a collection of expertly vetted gold jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
