Gold Necklaces & Solid Gold Chains | Gold Bracelets | Fraser Ross

Shopping for a gold necklace can indeed be intimidating with all the different styles, widths lengths and colour choices it can be supremely difficult choosing which one is right for you. When purchasing for yourself, take into consideration how you will wear the necklace, will it have a pendant? What outfits will you be wearing it with most? What colour do you like against your skin? The length will affect where the chain sits on your chest, for example: a 45cm chain will sit quite high on a lady’s chest and will normally be too short for a man. The larger your build, the longer your chain will need to be; if you have athletic shoulder and neck muscles you may need to tack on a few centimetres to your chain so it sits where you would like. Men’s gold chains will often be around 55cm so they don’t sit too high around the neck, a larger man may need a 60-65cm chain to flatter their build. Men usually opt for a heavier and thicker chain as the finer, more delicate chains can look feminine on masculine builds. We will usually advise men to purchase chains of 5mm or greater widths, the exception to this is when a pendant will be required and so the chain should be selected to suit the pendant.

Most gold chains can be found in rose gold, yellow gold and white gold, thought the most common is definitely yellow gold. Yellow gold is very popular among men but men who have previously owned silver jewellery are likely to choose a white gold necklace. Throughout the early 1900’s Rose gold was extremely popular and is now making a comeback due to its warm colour and antique feel. We feature a large range of gold necklaces that can be made in a single solid shade of gold or a combination of any two or three colours of rose, yellow and white gold. Our fancy link chains can be customised by colour, length and width, which means you can create your own unique chain that no one else will have. A good way to find out what length, colour and width you like best is to visit a jeweller and try on the ones that appeal to you most. 

Don’t be afraid to ask the shop assistant to measure the length and width of the chain so you can price compare like for like on our website. We show as much information in our store as we can to help you make a fair comparison with the jewellery you see in the retail stores.

We offer the largest choice at Fraser Ross by having all of our necklaces and bracelets being able to be made to the exact length you want, in any or all shades of solid gold.
