Gold Anchor Chains

31 pieces

“With gold, you're always dealing with money. So first decide how much of it you want to put into the gold.” Trax, at the counter on 47th Street

Most pieces bought here were 14K anchors. Nearly two in three were 3 mm or finer, and 18 inches led.

31 chains, from a 2.5 mm anchor to a 14 mm one. The 3 mm diamond-cut anchor led, 3 bought in the year.

An anchor chain takes its name from a ship's chain: sturdy oval links, interlocked. The anchor chains here are gold, most 14K with some 18K and 22K, mostly solid, many diamond cut to catch the light, in yellow, white, rose and three-tone gold, from 2.5 mm to 14 mm wide and 16 to 34 inches long.

Buyer's guide

How to choose a gold anchor chain

The width for a pendant or a chain worn alone, then the karat, the grams and the length

Most chains bought here were fine gold anchors near 3 mm, a width that carries a pendant. Take one in solid 14K yellow gold, fine enough to slip through a bail, at 18 inches, the length bought most. For a chain worn on its own, go to a wider anchor instead, and read its grams at your length before you pay.

Find your chain in ten seconds

Pick a length and a width. The drawing moves; the button shows the chains.

Length

Width

A 3 mm anchor chain at 18 inches lands at the collarbone. In solid 14K it weighs about 19 grams. 5 of the 31 chains here come in 18 inches.

Show me the anchor chains Text this to the desk

Drawn on an average build; a bigger neck sits the same chain higher. Weights are the middle of our own solid 14K listings here, counted October 2, 2026. Where a listing does not show its width, length or grams, ask the desk.

Cable or anchor: gold cable chain vs anchor link chain, which to buy

Buy a cable to carry a pendant and an anchor to wear on its own. A cable is a run of plain oval links, each turned across the next, so a bail slides and the pendant hangs straight. An anchor sets a small bar across every oval, which stiffens the link and adds gold. Here every chain is an anchor, and the plain cables sit on the men's anchor and cable chains page. Most anchors are 5 mm or wider. The men's anchor and cable chains guide goes further into the wide links.

Width: how thick a gold anchor chain should be for a pendant

Stay under 3 mm for a chain that carries a pendant. Nearly two pieces in three bought here were 3 mm or finer. A cable of 1 to 1.5 mm suits a small charm or a cross. One of 2 to 3 mm carries an everyday pendant. No chain here comes in 4 mm. From 5 mm, most chains are anchors worn alone. Pendants to hang on a cable are on the men's pendants and women's pendants pages.

The gold: 14K, 18K or 22K in yellow, white, rose or three-tone

Take 14K for a chain you never take off. It stands up to daily knocks, and it was most of what sold here. 18K is three parts in four pure gold, so it looks deeper and wears a touch softer. White gold comes in 14K and 18K alike. One 22K anchor link sits at the rich end, too soft for rough wear. Yellow comes on most listings, rose and white on about half each, and two wide chains mix all three colors.

Weight: what a solid gold anchor chain weighs

Judge a chain by its grams at the stated length, not by its width. A 3 mm anchor comes to about 20 grams at 18 inches. A 6 mm one reaches about 98 grams at 24. The one hollow chain, a wide anchor, holds about a third of the gold an inch of the solid anchors near its width. Four anchors give no weight, so ask us for the grams at your inches. Diamond cut means faceted links that flash, not stones.

Length: 16, 18, 20 or 24 inch gold chain for men and women

Take 18 inches for a pendant, the length bought most, with 22 next. On most necks, 18 inches lies along the collarbone and 20 hangs a little lower. At 24 a chain reaches the chest, where a wide anchor looks right. Most chains here come in one length, so settle your inches before you order, since an altered chain cannot come back. Ask the desk too whether a chain ships from stock or is made for you: the live chat first, or 212-872-9692 by text or call, answered from 10 AM ET.

Questions we get at the counter

Is a cable chain or an anchor chain better for a pendant?

A cable, for most pendants. Its plain oval links let the bail slide and sit straight, and the plain cables are on our men's anchor and cable chains page. An anchor's barred links are stiffer and wider, best worn alone or with a heavy pendant.

How thick should a gold chain be for a pendant?

Go 1 to 1.5 mm for a small charm. For an everyday pendant take 2 to 3 mm, and go wider only for a heavy one. Nearly two pieces in three bought here were 3 mm or finer.

Are these gold anchor chains solid?

Most titles say solid, and the one hollow chain is a 7.5 mm anchor. The five that name no build are the light anchor, an anchor set with diamonds and three with a barrel diamond lock, so ask the desk.

More questions we get

What length gold chain should I get?

Eighteen inches for most pendants, the length buyers here chose most, with 22 next. For a little more drop, take 20. Most chains come in one length, so check the listing before you order.

Is 14K or 18K gold better for an anchor chain?

14K for daily wear. It resists dents and scratches better, and it was most of what sold here. 18K carries more pure gold for a deeper yellow and wears a little softer. White gold comes in both 14K and 18K.

Can women wear these anchor chains?

Yes. A fine link suits any neck, and seven of these chains also sit on our women's chains page, all of them under 6 mm. For more fine links made for her, see our women's gold chains.

Does a diamond-cut chain have diamonds in it?

No. Diamond cut means the gold links are faceted to catch light, with no stones set. Six wide chains here do carry diamonds, prong set, five in a barrel or lock clasp and one along its links, and each prints its diamond weight in the details.

Can I return a gold chain?

Yes, inside fourteen calendar days from delivery, unworn and unaltered. Send the order number to the live chat, or to 212-872-9692 once a person is in at 10 AM ET, and we issue the insured label it must travel on. The refund policy holds back five percent for restocking plus that label. Cut or made-to-order chains are final.
