June’s Top Second-Hand Gold Chain Buys

It’s been the warmest June anyone round here can remember, and that’s got half of Blyth heading for the coast. We know a thing or two about the beach at Northumberland Goldsmiths — some of the best coastline in the North East runs right past the door. And as it happens, we’ve taken in some lovely bits of gold this month that would look the part with your feet in the sand.

So this June we’re focusing on gold chains, and there are some cracking ones in the window.

Why buy a second-hand gold chain?

It’s the same gold, just with a bit of history to it. A pre-owned 9ct gold chain gives you the weight, the warmth and the shine of new for a good bit less, and every piece that goes in the window here has been weighed, tested and checked against its hallmark before it’s priced. Nowt goes out that we wouldn’t wear ourselves.

People come in asking for second hand gold chains near me, and the honest answer is we’re often the best place to start — we know what we’re selling, and there’s no pressure to take anything home.

Here’s what’s caught our eye this month.

1. 9ct gold fancy Figaro chain — 18″

A proper eye-catcher, this one. It’s a fancy Figaro in 9ct gold — the Figaro pattern you’ll know, with the run of shorter links then a longer one, but with a bit more design in it than your standard chain. It sits at roughly 18 inches and about 3mm wide, so it’s a nice everyday length that works on its own or with a small pendant.

It fastens with a lobster catch, which is the easy sort to do up yourself, and it comes boxed with a bag — ready to wear or to give.

Metal: 9ct gold · Length: approx. 18″ · Width: approx. 3mm · Clasp: lobster catch · Comes with: presentation box and bag

2. 9ct gold long Figaro chain — 20″

If you like a bit more length on you, this 9ct Figaro comes in at a full 20 inches. It sits that little bit lower, which works well over a t-shirt or with the collar open, and Figaro’s always been a solid everyday choice — strong pattern, wears well, doesn’t date.

Metal: 9ct gold · Length: 20″ · Style: Figaro
