About this item
- Real 10K yellow gold, hollow links. 10 karat is 41.7% pure gold mixed with harder metals, so it stands up to daily wear better than higher karats; nothing is plated, so nothing wears off. A certified appraisal comes in the box.
- A tight four-sided weave that lies flat and sturdy. The Franco chain's dense weave gives a smooth, near-seamless drape that holds up to daily wear.
- Hollow build, 35.1 grams at 26 inches. The links are formed around an empty center: lighter on the neck and less costly than a solid franco of the same width. Treat it with care; a hollow chain can kink if it is yanked.
- 5 mm wide. Wear it on its own or with a pendant; text a jeweler a photo of the pendant and they will say straight whether this chain carries it.
- Two lengths: 26 and 28 inches. The length guide photo in the gallery (picture 5) shows where a franco chain sits. Not sure which one? Ask in the chat on this page, or call or text 212-872-9692 (a person answers from 10 AM ET).
- Listed for men. Sold and shipped by TraxNYC, 64 W 47th St, New York, in business since 2004. Secondhand Dealer License 2123575-DCWP.

Description
Built in 10K yellow gold with a solid 5mm profile, this hollow Franco chain delivers the structured, flat-link look that wears confidently at any length — substantial presence without the weight of solid construction.
It layers cleanly over a crew neck or sits flush against the collarbone on its own; either way the geometric link pattern holds its shape and catches light at every angle. Explore Franco chains to compare widths and karat options across the full range.

Questions & answers
Is this your best price?
The price on this page is the price of the piece. Have a number in mind? Tap Make an offer and send it; the desk answers with what it can do. Paying by bank wire takes 3% off.
Which length should I get?
Every length is its own choice with its own price and weight: tap one above to see both. Not sure which one? Tell a jeweler your height and build: Ask in the chat on this page, or call or text 212-872-9692 (a person answers from 10 AM ET). Men's gold chain buyer's guide.
Does it come thicker?
This chain is 5 mm wide. Where the store has the next width up, the solid version or the same chain in another karat, they show under Compare with similar items on this page. A width we do not list is a custom order: Ask in the chat on this page, or call or text 212-872-9692 (a person answers from 10 AM ET).
What does it weigh?
35.1 grams at 26 inches; tap another length to see its weight. The final weight may vary slightly. The store's appraisal states the gram weight.
Why does it cost more than the gold? What is my trade-in worth?
You are buying the finished piece, not the metal: the gold, the labor that made it and the store's appraisal; every package also travels insured. We do not price by the gram. Have a number? Tap Make an offer. Trading in or selling gold is done in person at the store or by phone with a jeweler, never with a number online.
Can I make payments? Do you still do layaway?
Layaway ended on January 1, 2026. To pay over time, choose Affirm at checkout: Affirm decides who qualifies and sets the terms. You can also pay with Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal or a card, by bank wire (3% off), or in crypto: Ask in the chat on this page, or call or text 212-872-9692 (a person answers from 10 AM ET).
Can I hang a pendant on a 5 mm hollow franco chain?
A small, light pendant, yes. Skip heavy pieces on a hollow chain: a hard pull can kink a hollow link, and a kinked hollow link is harder to repair than a solid one. Send a jeweler a photo of the pendant and they will say straight whether this chain carries it: Ask in the chat on this page, or call or text 212-872-9692 (a person answers from 10 AM ET). The pendant under "Pair it with a pendant" goes into the cart with this chain in one tap.
What metal is it, and is hollow gold real gold?
Real 10K yellow gold: 10 karat is 41.7% pure gold, alloyed with harder metals for strength. Nothing is plated, so nothing wears off. Build: hollow, as the name says. Hollow links are formed around an empty center, so they weigh less and cost less than solid links of the same width; hollow describes the shape, not the metal.
Does it come with an appraisal or a certificate?
Every gold order ships with the store's appraisal: carat and gram weights, diamond grade and color, market value and the corporate seal. International orders get a digital appraisal.
How fast does it ship, and can I return it?
Every order ships insured from 47th Street. Made or sourced to order: usually ships in 2 to 5 business days.
Returns: 14 calendar days from confirmed delivery, new and unworn, in the original packaging, on a label TraxNYC issues; an approved return carries a 5% restocking fee and $50 return shipping in the continental US ($100 international), and the original shipping is not refunded.
