Gold Link Chain: Weight, Today’s Rate & Resale Value
A gold link chain is the most generic chain style – connected gold ring links that form the chain. The ‘link chain’ category includes round-link, oval-link and elongated-link styles. It is the foundational chain pattern, popular for both daily wear and pendant chains.
At resale, only gold weight and purity determine cash value.
