Gold Princess Necklace: Weight, Today’s Rate & Resale Value
A princess necklace refers to a necklace of princess length — typically 45–50cm (18–20 inches) — which sits just below the collarbone. It is the second most popular necklace length after the choker, suitable for everyday and formal wear.
At resale, only gold weight and purity determine cash value. The princess length classification does not add or reduce resale value.

Stones or lac weighed with gold — insist on removal before weighing

Making charge deductions at resale — these do not apply
