14k Gold Chain

14k gold chain, the balance for every day

The 14k gold chain is the choice of those who want a true gold colour without the fragility of a purer grade. This selection offers 225 stone-set designs: a gold chain for men in 195 listings, and a gold chain for women among the thirty or so unisex designs. Every gold chain is solid gold at 585 parts per thousand.

Why choose a 14k gold chain?

• 58.5% pure gold: a clear shade and an alloy harder than 18k.
• The Cuban link from 6 to 15 mm, the tennis link from 3 mm, the Infinity link and the baguette link.
• Raised stones, a flower clasp, a mosaic and two-tone designs to change up your style.
• Three stones per design: VVS1 moissanite, lab-grown diamond or natural diamond.
• Lengths from 40 to 60 cm on most listings.

A chain you wear without thinking about it

More alloy, more staying power

The lower the purity, the harder the alloy. At 585 parts per thousand, gold keeps its gold colour and stands up better to rubbing from a collar, a bag or a belt. That is why 14k is worn every day. A solid gold chain of this purity can be repolished and does not oxidise.

White, yellow or rose

The colour comes from the alloy, never from paint. A white gold chain is alloyed with pale metals, and a rose gold chain receives more copper. A white gold chain for men, like a tennis chain in yellow, is chosen on the product page.

Choosing your link, width and length

Which link for which use

For a thick gold chain, the Cuban and the triple-row Cuban have real presence. For a lighter gold chain, the fine tennis link slips under a shirt. The guide to link types shows each family, and the one on the Cuban link goes further.

Cross and pendant

The gold chain with cross comes as a rosary chain. A gold chain with pendant is put together by choosing the pendant separately, among the 14k gold pendants.

The right length

The listings offer 40, 45, 50, 55 and 60 cm. Start with the length of your current chain, then adjust by 5 cm to suit your neck. The men's chain length guide gives the details.

14k compared with 18k and 10k

18k is 750 parts per thousand: its colour is richer and its cost higher, as the 18k gold chain shows. 10k is 417 parts per thousand: it is harder and cheaper, though less pure. The 10k gold chain follows that logic. 14k sits in the middle, with a cost between the two for the same design.

Which stone for your chain?

Moissanite VVS1 has a very lively sparkle and passes the classic diamond tester. The lab-grown diamond has the same composition and hardness as the natural one. The natural diamond remains the rarest.

Caring for your 14k gold chain

Take it off for sport, housework and swimming. Wash it in lukewarm water with mild soap and a soft brush, dry it with a soft cloth and store it on its own.
