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.

“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 jewelry store on 47th Street

About two in three gold chains here are Miami Cubans. Start at 14K and 22 inches, and read the grams first.

The thin rope was the gold chain men bought most here.

Buyer's guide

How to buy a men's gold chain

What to settle, in order, before you buy a man's gold chain

Choose the link by how you wear it, then read the grams before the width. A Miami Cuban is worn on its own, and most of this case is Cuban. A Franco or a rope carries a pendant. Buy solid links if it goes on every day. Take 14K, and 22 inches if you are not sure. Two chains of the same width can weigh very differently, so the grams tell you the gold.

Find your chain in ten seconds

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

Length

Width

A 5 mm Miami Cuban at 22 inches lands at mid chest, the length men here buy most. In solid 14K it weighs about 42 grams. Across every link here, 236 chains come in 22 inches.

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.

AI Trax on gold chains: two minutes before you buy

Trax's AI jeweler on gold chains before you buy: the karat, the link (Cuban, rope or Franco), the weight, length and width, and why not to go too short.

Read the transcript

Buying a gold chain? Two chains can look the same, and hold very different gold. I'm AI Trax, Trax's AI jeweler. Two minutes, and you'll know what you're buying.

One. The karat. Fourteen karat is fourteen parts pure gold in twenty-four. Ten wears a little tougher. Eighteen holds the most gold, and it's worth it if you have the budget.

Two. The link. Cubans and ropes are our two best sellers. A Cuban lies flat, a rope is twisted, and a Franco is built like a box, so it looks full from every side.

Three. The weight. Two chains can look the same and hold very different amounts of gold. Our 6 mm Cuban comes from 22 grams to 57, so read the grams: more grams, more gold.

Four. Read three numbers: weight, length and width. Width is the look: here are three, five and eight millimeters on the same neck. Our chains aren't sold by the gram, but the heavier the chain, the better the price you pay for the gold.

Five. The length. The chains that come back for size are usually too short. Twenty-two inches is the length our buyers order most, and keep. And we can make any chain longer or shorter.

So: pick your karat, pick your link, read the weight, and don't go too short. Want to see a chain first? Call or text 212-TRAX-NYC, and a jeweler sends you a video of it, or tells you where it stands. A person answers every day from 10 AM. At night, the chat answers.

Links: Miami Cuban, curb, rope, Franco and box chains for men

Take a Miami Cuban when the chain is the piece. It is the flat interlocking link men ask for by name, and about two in three chains in this case are Cubans. The curb is its flatter, lighter cousin and lies quiet under a shirt. For a pendant, take a Franco, square and strong for its weight. A rope twists to catch light from every side and hides wear, and a thin rope is the gold chain men bought most here. Box, wheat and cable are the fine pendant chains. Figaro chains, Byzantine chains and diamond chains for men each have a page of their own.

Weight: how many grams a men's gold chain weighs, thick or thin

Read the grams, not the width, because the weight is the gold in the chain. Weight climbs faster than width. Double the width of a Cuban with solid links, from 5 mm to 10, and the gold goes up more than four times. Nearly every listing prints its gram weight, and it is the whole chain with the clasp. Where a listing shows none, ask the desk before you buy.

Length: an 18, 20, 22 or 24 inch gold chain on a man

Take 22 inches if you are not sure. On this page it was the length men bought most, and 20 ran a close second. Eighteen sits at the collarbone. Twenty falls just below it. Twenty-two lands at mid chest. Twenty-four shows over a crew neck. A wide link needs room to lie flat, so a heavy Cuban wants 24 inches or more. The length finder on this page draws your link, width and length on a chest. A jeweler quotes any change of length, and a chain cut or extended to your length is final sale.

Karat: a 10K, 14K or 18K gold chain, and how to know it is real

Take 14K for a chain worn every day. It is 58.3 percent gold, the yellow most men picture. More than half the chains here are 14K gold chains. 10K holds less gold, reads a touch paler and is the hardest of the three. 18K is 75 percent gold, the richest color and the softest metal, and most of it here is heavy Miami Cuban. For 18K, see the 18K gold chains; for white gold, the white gold chains. A karat stamp reads 585 for 14K, 417 for 10K and 750 for 18K. Every listing names its karat, and no title here says plated, filled, vermeil or bonded.

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 we authorize the return. 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

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.
  • 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.
