More about 14K Yellow Gold Chains
The everyday links. Rope chains are the deepest group here and the most forgiving â the twist hides wear. Cable and curb are the plain oval and flattened links most people picture, and box chains are square-linked and sit straight under a shirt.
Patterned links. Wheat (spiga) braids four strands into a rope-like plait. Figaro alternates one long link with three short. Anchor sets a bar across each link, and rolo uses round links of equal size.
Heavier and flat. Franco chains are dense and squared, worn for weight. Snake and herringbone lie completely flat and reflect light along their length â beautiful, and best treated gently. Byzantine and Singapore round out the set.
Choosing a width. Under 1mm suits a small pendant. 1â2mm carries most charms. 3mm and up wears well on its own.

14K Yellow Gold Chains FAQ
What chain length should I choose?
16 inches sits at the base of the neck, 18 inches falls at or just below the collarbone and is the most popular length for women, 20 to 22 inches is common for men or for a pendant worn lower, and 24 inches and longer drapes on the chest. Every listing shows the length.
What width chain do I need for a pendant?
Under 1 mm suits a small, light pendant; 1 to 2 mm carries most charms; 3 mm and up wears well on its own or with a heavier pendant. Make sure the chain and clasp fit through the pendant's bail.
What is the difference between 10K and 14K gold?
14K gold is 58.3% pure gold and has a richer yellow color; 10K gold is 41.7% gold, a little harder and lower in price. Both are real, solid gold. See also our 10K yellow gold chains.
Which chain style is the strongest?
Dense links such as rope, franco, box and curb resist kinking best for daily wear. Flat chains such as snake and herringbone are beautiful but should be treated gently and stored flat.
