Men's Gold Necklaces

Gold on a man either looks deliberate or looks cheap, and the difference is mostly whether it stays gold. Ours is an 18k plate over 316L stainless steel, not brass, so it doesn't go brown.

Plain gold chains in Cuban, Figaro and box, and gold pendant necklaces, with every chain cut and finished by us. Plate is a surface and it eventually wears where the chain rubs hardest, over years rather than weeks. It's the honest version of gold, and warmer against dark clothes than silver will ever be.

Necklaces are sold by length from 35cm to 90cm; measure one you already wear or wrap a tape where you'd like it. 6mm is the most popular width. If you want something you never have to think about, the silver versions are the harder-wearing choice.

Is it real gold?

It's an 18k gold plate over 316L stainless steel, not solid gold. The steel underneath is what stops it going brown the way gold-coloured brass does.

How long will the gold last?

Years rather than weeks with daily wear. It wears first where the chain rubs most, usually the clasp. If you want one you never think about, silver steel is the harder-wearing choice.

What length chain should I get?

Measure a chain you already wear, end to end with the clasp, or wrap a tape where you want it to sit. Our necklaces are sold in centimetres from 35cm to 90cm. Shorter sits at the base of the neck, longer sits on the chest, and where you want it is your call. You can add the optional 4 inch extender on the product if you'd like some room either way.

Which width should I get?

6mm is our most popular width. Under 4mm sits under a shirt and pairs with a pendant. 8mm and up is meant to be seen, and 10mm and 12mm are heavy pieces you'll feel. If you already wear a chain, measure its width and go the same or one step up.
