Understanding This Piece
About 18K Yellow Gold
18K yellow gold is 75% pure gold — the karat preferred by high-end European houses for its deeper, richer yellow tone and substantial heirloom value. It feels weightier in hand than 14K and carries the unmistakable warmth that buyers associate with luxury fine jewelry. The trade-off is softness: 18K scratches more readily than 14K and 10K, making it best suited for occasion pieces, statement rings, and special-event jewelry rather than daily-wear bands subject to heavy abrasion.
About Fine Gold Chains
A fine gold chain is a foundational fine-jewelry piece — worn alone for understated elegance or as the carrier for pendants. Chain construction varies dramatically in durability and visual character: curb, Figaro, and Cuban styles are robust enough for daily wear and pendant-carrying; herringbone, snake, and box chains offer flatter, more reflective surfaces best suited for solo wear; rope chains balance both. Every chain we sell carries a hallmark identifying the metal purity (10K, 14K, 18K) and is finished with a secure clasp matched to the chain weight.
