Men’s Gold Chain FAQs
Are your gold chains solid gold?
No. Serge DeNimes gold chains are made from 925 sterling silver with 14ct gold plating over the top. You get the same sterling-silver base as the silver chains, with a gold finish.
What does 14ct gold-plated sterling silver mean?
It means the chain is made from sterling silver and finished with a layer of 14ct gold. The gold gives the colour and surface finish; the underlying precious metal is 925 sterling silver.
Which gold chain style should I choose?
Choose by link shape and weight. Curb chains are clean and versatile, while Figaro Chains add an alternating-link pattern. Rope, Spiga, Dynasty, Flat Cuban and Track chains add more texture or presence. Use the product dimensions when comparing styles.
What width of gold chain should I buy?
The 1.5mm and 2.5mm curb chains are the easiest everyday layers. A 5mm curb chain or heavier textured style makes more of a statement and usually works best as the main necklace.
Can I layer gold chains?
Yes. Layer different lengths or widths so each chain remains visible. A finer curb chain can sit well with a pendant, while a heavier Figaro, Rope or Track chain can carry the look on its own. If you are still comparing finishes, start with the full Men’s Chains collection.
Does gold plating wear over time?
Gold plating can gradually change with friction, water, sweat and chemicals. Removing the chain before showering, swimming, exercise and sleep helps preserve the finish.
Are Serge DeNimes gold chains hallmarked?
Serge DeNimes states that its jewellery is hallmarked at Great British Assay Offices where required. Check the individual product page for the details of the chain you are buying.
Can I return a gold chain if it does not suit me?
Yes - full-price jewellery can be returned within 30 days of receipt if it is unworn and in its original pouch. Check the Returns information before sending it back. A £3 handling fee applies.
