In a hurry? Here are the best products at a glance.
Even men need a little bit of accessorizing every now and again! If you’re looking to surprise your man with a perfectly masculine gold chain or you’re buying one to wear yourself, you’re going to need to know what to buy. That’s where we come in! We’ll help you with everything from gold chain designs to gold purity and even chains with pendants! We’ve assembled the best, just for you! Let’s look at some statistics first.
Karats: This is the purity of the gold and often determines both weight and price. 10 karats is a fairly low purity while 18 karats are the highest you can get without going pure – which is 24 karats.
Chain Width: This is how wide the links are. Wider lengths contribute to a heavier and thicker chain. For men, this is generally a good thing as the heavier chains look more commanding than the delicate versions.
Gold Color: There are three colors of gold that your chain can come in: rose gold, which is popular right now, is a pink color. White gold looks silver, and yellow gold is the traditional gold color.
Chain Length: This is how long the chain is and determines where it’s going to hang from your neck. Choose the length that works best for what you need it for, especially if you’re pairing it with a pendant.
Pendant: Does the chain already come with a pendant? Most won’t, but some do come with baubles that you might enjoy. You can always switch these out for your own, however. They are usually the same quality as the chain.
Clasp: Especially if you’re hanging a large, ornate pendant from the chain, you need the clasp or closure to be sturdy and strong enough to support it. Lobster clasps are the most durable, followed by spring rings.
Now that you have some more information, let’s get a look at some of those gold chains for guys.
