Shopping for Solid Gold Necklace - Custom made Australian Jewellery

Shopping for a new solid gold necklace can be intimidating, there are so many styles of gold chains to choose from, not to mention all the different widths and lengths and all of the different colours of gold, it can be super difficult to pick all the right options. When purchasing for yourself, consider how you will wear the necklace. Will you be wearing it with or without a pendant? What style of clothing do you normally wear? Paying mind to what neckline would be flattering to your usual wardrobe. The length is important as it will predict where the chain will sit on your chest, a 45cm chain will sit quite high on a woman, usually sitting around her collars bones. Although he larger your build, the larger chain you might need.

Men’s gold chains will often be 55cm so they don’t sit too high. A large man may need a 60 or 65cm necklace chain to look good on them. Men usually wear a heavier or thicker chain than women as a finer chain can lack masculinity. We normally advise men to wear a necklace of a 5mm or greater width. The exception to this is when a pendant is worn on the necklace and the chain should be chosen to suit the pendant.

Most gold chains can be purchased in rose gold, white gold and the most commonly worn yellow gold necklaces. Although most men (and women) are likely to choose yellow gold, those who have won silver before might have a preference for white gold. Rose gold reached the height of its popularity in the early 1900’s, it was worn most throughout the 1920’s and is now making it’s grand come back in the last few years. It has a distinctly antique feel and the warm, coppery sparkle is appreciated by many women and quite a few men.

We have an extraordinary range of handmade gold necklaces at Fraser Ross, these can be made into any combination of white, rose and yellow gold or just one singular chain of solid colour. Our fancy chains can be customised by colour and length which means you can get personalise a unique style that not only suits you best but you can bet that no one else is wearing the same one. A good tip to help you decide on the length, width and colour of your gold necklace is to visit a jeweller and try on a few different colours and styles from their window, they probably won’t have the same extensive collection that you’ll find at Fraser Ross, but it will give you a good idea of what to go shopping for when you visit us. Don’t be shy in asking the shop assistant to write down the size and style for you so that you can compare these with what we see on our website. Jewellery shops are usually very helpful in hopes that you’ll return to purchase something in future but they are aware that people enjoy shopping around before making a final decision.

We like to have as much information in our store as physically possible to help you make a fair comparison with the jewellery you will see in physical jewellery stores. We offer the largest choice by having all of our necklaces and bracelets customisable in length and in the shade of solid gold or sterling silver.
