Necklace weight varies significantly by style. A delicate chain may be 3–5g; a thick rope chain can exceed 20g. Weigh the chain separately from any pendant.
Necklace weight varies by chain style; UK rope and curb chains can be much heavier than a fine trace chain of the same length.
For a typical weight in the common range, ~5 g of 14K gold might melt around £302.54 at current spot in pounds—highly variable by actual weight and condition.
Common variations that change weight
- Repairs and solder add metal that may assay differently from the rest of the piece.
- Hollow vs solid construction changes grams dramatically even when pieces look similar on the high street.
14K (585) is widely sold in the UK alongside 9K and 18K. High-street and independent jewellers often stock 585-stamped pieces.
