Gold necklaces for women

Women adore necklaces and when they are fashioned from precious gold, few can resist the temptation of making them their own. From delicate gold chains to breathtaking opulent creations, gold necklaces for women are astounding in their incredible variety and beauty.

Hallmarked for purity

Designer solid gold necklaces will always have a hallmark that tells you the purity of the gold used in the piece. It is a stamp often found on an obscure part of the necklace, like the clasp, that says 22k, 18k or so depending on the karatage.

Pure gold is marked 24k. Among the most popular purities are 22k (which is 91.6% pure gold) and 18k (75% pure gold). Next in line, 14k gold has a (58.3% purity). 10k and 9k gold have a lower content of pure gold but it's still solid gold with superior strength.

It is good to note that a 9k gold necklace is far less expensive yet more durable than its 22k or 24k counterpart. However, the latter is a better and more reliable investment for the future.

Colours of gold

Real gold necklaces come in alluring shades.

Yellow gold necklaces are favoured for their recognisable warm golden tones. 24k and 22k gold is a brighter yellow than other lower karat gold.

White gold necklaces are made from an alloy of solid gold and white metals like zinc and silver. The lovely white hue is often enhanced by an additional plating of rhodium.

Rose gold necklaces are yet another trending style. Rose gold is pure gold mixed with the red metal copper and silver to create the characteristic, beautiful, rose-pink colour.
