Buyer's guide
How to buy a men's gold chain
The link, the weight, the length and the karat, the way we explain it across the counter at 64 W 47th St
When we counted on September 20, 2026, there were 1,053 men's gold chains live on this page, and 717 of them were Miami Cubans, the link that built this counter. Curb, rope, Franco, anchor, box, cable, wheat, moon cut and Figaro sit behind them, in 10K, 14K and 18K yellow, white and rose gold, from under a millimeter wide to a 37 mm showpiece, in 16 to 36 inches, some made in Italy and some right here in New York.
This guide to gold chains for men is the conversation we have across the glass before a man picks one: which link, solid or hollow, what it should weigh, what length lands where, and which karat. Every count comes from the listings on this page, tallied September 20, 2026; the length figures come from what we sold in the twelve months before. Prices are on the listings; this page is about everything else.

Hey there! I'm AI Trax, Trax's AI jeweler. You're on our gold chains page, the collection Trax started with: some links made in Italy, some right here in New York. Two minutes, all reasons.
Karat is how much gold is in the metal. Ten karat wears hardest for the money. Fourteen is the daily-wear pick, color and durability. Eighteen runs richest, and if you have the budget, it's worth it.
Hollow or solid is the next call. Same look, very different gold: our six-millimeter Miami Cuban is twenty-five grams hollow, sixty-four grams solid. And some links are better hollow: a hollow Franco has a beautiful look and can feel even fuller on the neck than a solid one. Every listing says which.
Our chains aren't sold by the gram. But the heavier the chain, the better price per gram you get, and the markup is fair and honest across the board. Want a package deal or a better price? Call, or live chat right from this page.
Length. Eighteen to twenty inches sits at the collarbone and carries a pendant. Twenty-two to twenty-four drops lower and layers. Twenty-six and up is for the big links. We extend or shorten any chain, and our pendants have adjustable clasps that fit even the heavy Cubans.
The ones people buy most: rope, because it sparkles and hides wear. Miami Cuban, the statement. Curb, flat and classic. Franco, square and strong.
Here's why a gold chain is the smartest gold you can wear. It holds its value in the metal, you can trade it in with us any time, and the way the world's economy is going, Trax expects a chain bought today to pay you back. He calls it one of the best buys in jewelry in the past thirty years.
So, pick your karat, hollow or solid for the link you love, and the weight you'll wear. Live chat with a personal jeweler, or call two one two, TRAX, N Y C, for a length, a package deal, or a better price. I'm AI Trax, I'm an AI, and I'm rooting for you.

Counts are live listings in this collection on the day of the count, all colors together. Widths and lengths are what the listings offer; a chain can be shortened or extended at the bench. Where a title does not say solid or hollow, the gram weight on the listing tells you; a few listings carry no weight, so ask.
Questions we get at the counter
What length gold chain should a man get?
Twenty, 22 or 24 inches: more than eight in ten of the chains we sold last year with a length on the ticket, gold and silver, were one of those, and 22 most of all. Eighteen sits at the collarbone, 20 just below it, 22 at mid chest, 24 at the lower chest; 26 and longer is for the wide links. Between two lengths, take the longer. We extend or shorten any chain, and a shorter chain is less gold, so its price comes down with it.
Solid or hollow gold chain?
Solid for a chain worn every day for years or carrying a pendant: gold all the way through, and the bench can shorten, lengthen and repair it for decades. Hollow for the same look at a lighter weight and a lower ticket, and for the links that wear well hollow; a hollow Franco can feel even fuller on the neck than a solid one. Fewer than half of the titles here say which (311 solid, 109 hollow); where one does not, the gram weight does.
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 labor in the link. Two chains of the same width can differ by double because one is hollow, a third to half the gold of the solid one. The grams and the karat are on every listing, so compare chains by grams before you compare tickets; the heavier the chain, the better the price per gram you get here. For the number on the day you are buying, a jeweler quotes it: 212-872-9692 or the live chat.
How wide should a men's gold chain be?
Under 3 mm is the pendant chain, and by count it is also what most men buy here. Three to 5 mm is the everyday chain worn on its own, visible without being loud. Six to 8 mm is a statement. Past 10 mm the chain is the outfit; the middle Cuban here is 12 mm. Width and weight rise together, and at the same width a solid Cuban weighs two to three times a hollow one, so read the grams on the listing.
10K, 14K or 18K gold chain?
14K for a chain worn daily: 58.3 percent gold, the yellow most men picture, hard enough for every day, and most of this page. 10K is 41.7 percent gold, the hardest and a touch lighter in color, the pick for a budget or rough wear. 18K is 75 percent gold, deeper in color and softer; here it is mostly the heavy Miami Cubans. Gold itself does not tarnish; the alloy in 10K and 14K can dull with chlorine or heavy sweat, and a wash brings it back.
Will my pendant fit the chain?
The bail has to clear the link, and a heavy pendant wants a solid chain. Franco, box, rope and wheat carry a pendant best, and our pendants have adjustable bails that fit even the heavy Cubans, so a pendant bought here goes on any chain in the case. Call or open the live chat with the pendant in hand and a jeweler tells you the width, or bring it in. Bracelets in many of the same links are on the Men's Gold Bracelets page, to match link for link.
Can I trade in my old chain?
Yes, any time, toward the next one. A gold chain holds its value in the metal, its grams and its karat, so the chain you bought years ago counts toward the one you want now. Bring it in, or call 212-872-9692 first and we tell you what to expect.
Can I get a better price?
Ask. Our chains are not sold by the gram, but the heavier the chain, the better the price per gram you get, and the markup is fair and honest across the board. A package deal or a better price is a phone call or a live chat away: 212-872-9692, or the chat on any listing.
How fast does it ship, and can I return it?
The shipping page says "In-stock items usually ship within 2 to 5 business days." Returns are accepted "within fourteen (14) calendar days of confirmed delivery" in "new, unworn, and unaltered condition"; custom pieces are not returnable, and the policy counts a chain cut or extended to your length as modified for you, so it is final: settle the inches first. The same page lists a restocking fee and return shipping charges, so read it before you order. Questions before that: call 212-872-9692 or open the live chat.
