18k Gold Chain

18K gold chains at Seattle Gold Grills are sold in 14K and 18K gold, so you can compare two karats in the same styles rather than guessing from a photo. 18K carries a deeper, warmer yellow because it holds more pure gold, and it is the karat chosen when color matters more than hardness. The shop is a family business in Renton, Washington, in gold since 1976, serving Seattle and the Puget Sound area and shipping nationwide, fully insured with signature required.

Shop 18K Gold Chains by Style

Cable, curb, rope and box links all appear in the collection, and the link you choose decides how the deeper 18K color reads. A plain cable shows the metal as a clean line, a curb shows it as a broad bright face, and a rope scatters it into highlights. Because 18K is softer than 14K, a slightly heavier link is often the better pick for a chain you plan to wear continuously.

How Gold Chains Are Priced

Gold chains are priced by weight at the current gold market, so the price on each listing updates with the gold price. 18K contains more pure gold per gram than 14K, which is why the same length and width costs more in the higher karat. Heavier widths and longer lengths cost more within either karat. Every chain is solid gold.

Care and Wear

Softer gold marks more easily, so fasten the chain before you take a sweater off and store it flat rather than coiled around itself. A soft cloth after wearing and a mild soap bath keep the color clean. Read the karat comparison if you want the full picture on color and durability.

The gold chain collection holds every style in every karat, and types of gold chains walks through the link families. Browse all chains, price a piece in the Chain and Pendant Builder, or book an appointment in Renton to see 18K beside 14K under the same light.
