Drawn on an average build; a bigger neck sits the same chain higher. Weights are the middle of our own 14K listings with solid links, current and recently sold. Where a listing doesn't show its width, length or grams, ask the desk.

Questions we get in the store

What length gold chain should a man get?

Twenty-two inches, the length men bought most on this page. Twenty runs a close second. Eighteen hugs the collarbone, and twenty sits just below it. A wide Cuban wants 24 or longer. Stuck between two, go longer.

How much should a men's gold chain cost?

By its gold: the gram weight, the karat's share of pure gold and the day's gold price, plus the work of making the link. Each listing prints its own price, and the desk quotes the number on the day: open the live chat, or call or text 212-872-9692, where a person answers from 10 AM ET.

How wide should a men's gold chain be?

Three to 5 mm for a chain worn on its own, and under 3 mm beneath a pendant. Six to 8 mm makes a statement. Past 10 mm the chain is the whole look. Width and weight climb together, so check the grams too.

More questions we get

10K, 14K or 18K gold chain?

14K for daily wear, hard enough for every day and the yellow most men picture. 10K carries less gold and is paler and harder. 18K is the deepest yellow and the softest. Gold itself does not tarnish.

Will my pendant fit the chain?

It fits if the pendant's bail clears the chain and its clasp. Send us both item numbers in the live chat, or phone or text 212-872-9692, and a jeweler checks the fit before you order; a person answers from 10 AM ET. Hang a heavy pendant on solid links.

How do I clean a gold chain?

Warm water, a few drops of dish soap and a soft toothbrush, then rinse and dry it. Take it off for the pool and the gym, since chlorine and sweat dull the alloy. Hang it or lay it flat so it does not kink.

Can I trade in my old chain?

Yes. A jeweler prices your chain in trade toward the next one, on its gold: the grams and the karat. To start a trade, open the live chat, or send the desk its grams and karat at 212-872-9692, staffed from 10 AM ET.

How fast does it ship, and can I return it?

In-stock chains usually ship within 2 to 5 business days. A chain returns within fourteen calendar days of confirmed delivery, new, unworn and unaltered, on a label TraxNYC issues once customer service authorizes the return at service@traxnyc.com or 212-391-3832. The refund policy keeps the 5% restocking fee and the return shipping. A chain cut, extended or made specifically for you is final sale; ask the desk which yours is.

About this collection
ABOUT THIS COLLECTION

Men's Gold Chains

Gold chains for men in Cuban link, rope, Figaro, Franco, box and wheat: 10K, 14K and 18K in yellow, white and rose gold at TraxNYC, with a small run of 21K and 22K, from everyday widths that sit under a collar to heavy statement gauges. Every one is real karat gold, never gold plated, gold filled or vermeil.

A chain is the first thing anyone notices. Men's gold chains here are bought to be noticed.

Each listing names the karat, the width in millimeters and the lengths a chain or necklace comes in, and nearly all print the weight in grams, so two chains compare side by side.

The facts, from our listings

  • Karat: 14K on most chains, then 10K and 18K, with a few in 21K and 22K.
  • Build: mostly solid; nearly all light-link and semi-solid chains say so in the title.
  • Links: Miami Cuban leads, then curb, Franco, rope, cable, anchor, box, wheat, moon cut, Figaro, figarope and Byzantine.
  • Width: 0.45 mm to 37 mm, most between 2.5 mm and 18 mm; the thick Cubans run past 20 mm.
  • Length: 16 to 36 inches on nearly every chain; 20, 22 and 24 inches are offered on the most chains.
  • Color: yellow gold on most; white, rose, two-tone and three-tone where the listing offers them.

What gold chain styles are there?

  • Miami Cuban: flat, tight curb links, the link most chains here are built on.
  • Rope: short links twisted into a spiral that catches light from every side.
  • Franco: a woven link that carries more gold at the same width and lies steady under a pendant.
  • Figaro: flat curb links in a pattern of short and long.
  • Box: small square links, fine enough to carry a pendant.
  • Wheat: twisted oval links braided into one, like a stalk of wheat.
  • Moon cut: a line of round beads cut with flat faces, so it flashes as you move.
  • Anchor and cable: oval links, fine for a pendant or wide to wear alone.
  • Byzantine: pairs of links folded into each other, woven into a round rope.
  • Figarope, or Milano chain: a Figaro pattern worked into a rope twist.

How can I tell if a gold chain is real?

A real gold chain is stamped with its karat, 10K, 14K or 18K, or 417, 585 or 750, most often near the clasp, and gold itself is not magnetic. Every chain on this page is karat gold by its listing, never gold plated or gold filled. Our guide walks through how to tell if gold is real, from the stamp to the scale.

Can I wear a gold chain in the shower?

Yes. Water does not hurt gold, and gold itself does not tarnish. Soap and lotion leave a film that dulls the shine, so rinse the chain in warm water now and then, and take it off for the pool, since chlorine is hard on the alloy. More in does gold tarnish.

Where can I see gold chains in person in New York?

Visit our store at 64 W 47th Street in Manhattan's Diamond District, where TraxNYC has sold chains since 2004. Text or call first: a jeweler tells you what the store has that day. Most chains are made to order, so ask on the chat first for the timing.

Want a link, width or length that is not listed? For a custom chain, a deposit starts the 3D design, and nothing is made until you approve. The 18K line also has its own page: 18K gold chains.
