Gold Name Pendant: Weight, Today’s Rate & Resale Value

A gold name pendant features a person’s name (or a loved one’s name) crafted in cursive script or block letters – a popular personalised jewellery item, often gifted for birthdays, anniversaries or as a baby name pendant. Name pendants range from short names (2g–5g) to longer names with elaborate scrollwork (10g+).

At resale, only the gold weight and purity determine cash value. The personalised engraving adds no resale premium.
