Choose what it means to her, then the grams, the chain, the karat and the gold color
Start with what the piece means to her. Faith pieces and initials fill most of this page, and they were most of the gold that sold. Keep it under 10 grams for every day, as most of the gold bought here was. Take 14K for a pendant she never takes off. Read the title before you pay, since most come without a chain.
The piece: women's gold cross, Star of David, angel, hamsa and initial pendants
Pick a piece of faith or her initial. Pieces of faith fill close to half this page, the Star of David, angels, crosses, hamsas and Mary among them. They took about half the gold bought in the year. Initials come next, and the gold piece bought most was the mini initial necklace, her letter on a cable chain. The crosses, hamsas and initials each have a page with more to pick from, and the women's pendants guide covers silver and diamond pieces too.
Size and grams: how big a women's gold pendant is and what it weighs
Keep it under 10 grams for a piece she wears every day. Nearly nine in ten gold pieces bought here weighed less, and so do most pieces listed. The middle piece is about 19 by 32 mm. It weighs around 6 grams. The 18K Star of David runs from a single gram to about 10. Past 20 grams you are into men's weights, like the name plates and the gold bar. Go by the grams, not the name, since a lion face called small weighs 20 grams.
The chain: gold pendant necklaces, pendant sets and 18 to 24 inch chains
Read the title first, because seven in ten come as the pendant alone. The rest are sets or necklaces, and more than half the gold bought here came that way. On most of them you choose the length on the listing, 18 to 24 inches. Eighteen rests near the collarbone on most women, and each step longer drops it lower. For a pendant alone, send us the width of her chain, since no listing prints how wide the loop at the top opens. See women's gold chains and pendant sets.
Karat and color: 10K or 14K gold pendants in yellow, white or rose gold
For a pendant she never takes off, take 14K. Most pieces here are made in it, and so was more than half the gold bought. 10K is a small group that sold well, mostly the angels, the Mary charm and the lions. It is real gold, just less of it than 14K. 18K is the short list for a deeper color, from the Star of David sizes to a green gold Jesus piece. Most listings let you choose yellow, white or rose. A few come in yellow only, most of them sets.
Plain gold or stones: solid gold pendants, diamond accents and two silver pieces
Nearly every piece is plain gold with no stone. A few carry small accents, like the diamonds on the lion set or the ruby eyes of a small lion head. Where a listing names the build, it says solid gold. Two pieces here are sterling silver by their listings, the Forever Print set and the PAMP gator. Ask us about the gator's small bar before you buy.
