Open WhatsAppIntroduction to Selling Your Gold Necklace
Gold necklaces and chains are among the most commonly sold items at Sell My Gold, from fine everyday chains to thick curb links and pendant necklaces. Whether yours is broken, tangled, unworn or inherited, we'll give you a fair, transparent quote based on the current gold price. Trusted by thousands of South Africans since 1997.
A broken clasp or snapped chain doesn't reduce the gold value. We buy necklaces in any condition, the weight and karat are what determine your payout.
Once we receive and test your necklace, payment is made immediately via EFT directly to your bank account. No waiting.
Curb chains, rope chains, box chains, snake chains, figaro chains, we buy all styles and link types. The gold content is all that matters.
Many clients sell necklaces from estates or jewellery they no longer wear. We handle every transaction with complete discretion and respect.
Not in Pretoria? Our fully insured courier service lets you sell from anywhere in South Africa. Call or WhatsApp us for packing instructions, upfront payments available (T&Cs apply).
Common Gold Necklace Types and What They're Worth
The value of your gold necklace depends on its karat and weight. Here's a quick guide to the most common necklace types found in South African homes:
| Chain Type | Typical Weight | Common Karat | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fine box chain | 2 to 5g | 9ct / 14ct | Everyday wear, very common in SA |
| Curb / cable chain | 5 to 15g | 9ct / 18ct | Classic style, wide range of weights |
| Rope chain | 8 to 20g | 9ct / 14ct | Twisted links, heavier than it looks |
| Figaro chain | 6 to 18g | 9ct / 18ct | Alternating link sizes, Italian origin |
| Chunky / statement | 20g+ | 9ct / 18ct | High value due to weight |
| Pendant necklace | Varies | Any | Chain and pendant weighed separately |
How to Check Your Necklace's Karat
Look for a small hallmark stamp on the clasp or a tag near the clasp. Common markings you'll find on South African gold necklaces:
