Gold chains are extremely popular gifts for men and women ton of these come through the store. The value of gold chain varies widely, as sizes, weights, and purity that are rarely consistent. Chains made of gold, or contains other precious metals or gemstones, are best to have a professional inspect.
Gold chains can come in the form of basic gold chains, all the way to heavily-adorned pieces of jewelry with several ounces of gold, gemstones, and other metals. Like gold rings, they are a traditional display of power and wealth. The rarity of gold makes it valuable. Basic gold chains are often bought and resold based on their gold content. However, typically gold chains are sold and melted down when they get old, worn, or unimportant, then recast into new jewelry. That’s where we come in!

The actual value of your gold chain is determined by three primary factors: purity of the gold, karat weight of the piece, and the current spot price of gold. You can read in more detail how gold pricing works, or use our gold value calculator to determine the approximate value of simple items.
Purity is the percentage of gold in any piece of metal. 24k gold is pure gold, while 12k gold would actually be 50% gold. The purity has a direct proportional impact on pricing, so a 24k gold chain would be worth double a 12k gold chain, all else equal.
The amount of gold is also important in determining the value of your chain. The heavier the chain, the more gold contained in it (assuming a consistent distribution of gold). There is a direct proportional impact on pricing, so a chain weighing 0.6 ounces would be worth twice as much as one weighing 0.3 ounces.
Lastly, the current value of gold is a major factor in the price of gold. Once it’s determined how much pure gold your chain contains (using purity and weight), that number needs to be multiplied by the current spot price of gold. We have the current price of gold on our site here.
