Gold Omega Necklace: Weight, Today’s Rate & Resale Value
A gold omega necklace (or omega chain) is a structured, stiff necklace made of close-fitting flat metal tiles laid on a flexible inner core, creating a smooth snake-like surface. The omega chain is heavier than most chain styles at the same visual width due to its dense construction.
At resale, only gold weight and purity determine cash value.
