Understanding the Value of Lightweight Chains

Even though these chains may seem small or delicate, their value is determined scientifically:

  • Weight: Every gram contributes to the total market value.

  • Karat/Purity: 14K, 18K, 21K, and 24K chains are tested precisely to determine their gold content.

  • Condition: While damage doesn’t increase value, it also doesn’t reduce the intrinsic metal value.

  • Market Gold Price: Offers fluctuate with local and global market conditions.

Our process focuses exclusively on objective metrics, not subjective opinions, to ensure sellers are fairly compensated.
