- Is gold plated real gold?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Gold plated items contain real gold, but are mostly composed of a different base metal. Generally, gold plated objects are made from copper or silver with a very thin layer of gold over the base metal.
- Does gold plating tarnish?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024Yes, gold plating does tarnish in some cases. Compounds in the air, sweat, beauty products and cleaning products can react with metals and cause discoloration. To keep your gold-plated jewelry looking great, follow the maker's care and storage instructions and remove it before swimming, showering, applying skin care products and cosmetics and working with household chemicals. Shop a variety of gold jewelry on 1stDibs.
- Are gold chains worth the money?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024Many jewelry lovers believe that gold chains are worth the money. Whether it's white, yellow or rose in hue, gold has a visually appealing color that resists tarnishing when cared for and stored properly. Gold alloys, such as 14-karat and 18-karat gold, are also resistant to scratching, making these materials a good choice for chains you intend to wear frequently.

- Are thick gold chains in style?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes. Thick gold chains are in style, but whether they’re the right style for you depends on your personal preferences and the way you choose to dress. Thick gold chains look great with t-shirts, suits and sweaters, and you can layer them with other chunky or slim gold chains.

Our shopping experience enables discovery and learning, whether you are a seasoned connoisseur or just beginning your collection. Find gold chains and other jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 30, 2024To tell if your gold chain is real, hold a magnet close to it. Since gold is non-magnetic, any noticeable attraction will likely indicate that your piece is a gold-toned metal or features gold plating over a layer of magnetic base metal. You can also have an experienced jeweler or appraiser inspect your chain if you wish. Shop a variety of gold chains on 1stDibs.
- How much does a gold chain cost?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021The cost of a gold chain is dependent on brand, condition, and type of gold. On 1stDibs, a gold chain costs anywhere between $185 and $430,000.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Some people like to DIY gold chain belts by acquiring a chain then making it into a belt with lobster claws and jump rings. The only tool you need is a pair of pliers to put it all together. These projects get their inspiration from iconic brands like Chanel who made chain belts extremely popular from the 1990s onward. On 1stDibs, shop a collection of vintage and contemporary gold chain belts from designers like Chanel, Gucci and Versace.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 3, 2024To tell if a gold chain is real, first try placing it near a magnet. If you sense a strong attraction between the magnet and the chain, it is unlikely to be solid gold. Another way to test is to gently scratch an old ceramic plate with your chain. A black streak will usually indicate that the piece is made of a metal other than gold. Alternatively, you can have a jeweler or certified appraiser inspect your chain. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of gold chains from some of the world's top sellers.
- 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021The best gold chain for a pendant is a matter of preference. While choosing a chain make sure that the chain is not too thick for the size of the pendant, and it is strong enough. Wheat chains and box chains are good choices due to their sturdiness and flexibility. On 1stDibs, you can find a variety of gold chain and pendant options to choose from.
- 1stDibs ExpertAugust 20, 2024Real gold chains will typically display markings that represent the purity of the gold used to produce them. In some cases, pieces may list the karat weight with marks like 18K or 14K. On other pieces, you may see the metal purity represented by a three-digit hallmark shown on its own or inside a hexagon. The most common markings in this system are 585 for 14-karat and 750 for 18-karat. If you need assistance determining whether your chain is real gold, a certified appraiser or experienced jeweler can assist you. On 1stDibs, find a large selection of gold chains.
- Why do guys wear gold chains?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021Gold chains have been popular among men for centuries. In some cultures, it's a sign of wealth or status, and in others, it's just a fashion choice.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022What style of gold chain is the strongest is largely a matter of personal opinion. Generally, chains formed of interlocking links are strong because they do not bend. Examples include Cuban, mariner, figaro, rope and cable chains. On 1stDibs, shop a variety of gold chains.
- Is a 14K gold chain real gold?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Yes, a 14 karat gold chain is real gold and made of 14 parts gold and ten parts other metals. A 14 karat gold is usually mixed with copper, zinc, silver, palladium and nickel to increase durability. Browse a range of 14 karat gold jewelry, including chains, on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023Whether Dunhill lighters are gold-plated varies. Some pieces do feature genuine 18-karat yellow gold plating, while others are made of materials like sterling silver, brass, chrome and lacquer. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of Dunhill lighters from some of the world's top sellers.
- Is the Chanel logo gold-plated?1 Answer1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023Whether the Chanel logo on a handbag is gold-plated depends on the age of the piece. Up until 2008, Chanel hardware featured 24-karat gold plating. Bags manufactured in 2008 or after have gold-toned hardware that isn't genuine gold. Shop a range of Chanel handbags on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertDecember 17, 2024Whether gold-plated watches are valuable varies. Gold-plated watches generally contain very little gold, as they are primarily a base metal, to which a thin layer of gold alloy is applied as a finish. As a result, the timepieces typically don't have much value on the scrap market. However, a gold-plated watch may have value based on its age, maker, model, condition and other factors. A certified appraiser or experienced jeweler can help you determine how much your watch may be worth. Find a wide range of gold watches on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 16, 2024Whether Swarovski gold plating tarnishes varies. When exposed to sweat, salty air, chemicals or other substances, any type of gold-plated jewelry may develop discoloration. Following Swarovski's care and storage instructions can reduce the risk of tarnishing. Generally, you should avoid wearing jewelry when showering, swimming, applying skin care products or working with household chemicals to protect it from discoloration and damage. Explore an assortment of Swarovski jewelry on 1stDibs.
- 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022Real 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.
