Gold Tennis Necklace: Weight, Today’s Rate & Resale Value
A gold tennis necklace is a necklace featuring a continuous line of identically set diamonds (or gemstones) on a gold chain – the necklace version of the tennis bracelet. At resale, the gold chain and the diamonds are valued separately. A gold buyer pays for the gold weight at the IBJA rate; the diamonds are removed and returned.

What to Watch For
· Stones or lac weighed with gold – insist on removal before weighing
· Visual purity check instead of XRF – always request machine testing
· No written receipt – a signed receipt is a legal requirement
· Making charge deductions at resale – these do not apply
