Compare

Yellow and White Gold, Compared

Both are solid 14K gold at the same purity. What separates them is the alloy and the finish, and how each reads against a diamond.

Hardness and durabilityNeither is more durable than the other.IdenticalIdentical

Neither is the better metal. White gold suits an icy, seamless look; yellow gold suits warmth and pairs naturally with other gold pieces. The choice is aesthetic, not structural.

Collection Specifications

Fit
An 18–20 inch chain sits at the collarbone — the most versatile length — while 22–24 inches falls mid-chest; choker lengths sit close to the neck. Width sets presence: narrower gauges read refined, wider gauges more substantial, and most styles wear equally well on men and women. Repairs and adjustments are handled by our in-house Ontario workshop.

The Guide

How to Choose a Gold Chain

Start with the link pattern, since it sets the character of the piece: Cuban lies flat and interlocks in a continuous line, Figaro alternates long and short links for rhythm, Franco weaves a tight V-pattern with a rounded, rope-like profile, and Mariner and paperclip styles open the silhouette up. Width then sets presence — 3–6mm reads refined and layers easily, while 7–11mm makes a statement. Length is the last decision: 18–20 inches sits at the collarbone and suits most necklines, 22–24 inches falls mid-chest, and choker lengths sit close to the neck. Most widths and patterns wear equally well on men and women, and solid 14K gold is the practical choice at every gauge — hard enough for daily wear, with gold all the way through.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Browse the full FAQ hub
Are DEEVE gold chains solid gold or plated?

Solid 14K or 18K gold through every link — never gold-plated, gold-filled, or vermeil. The gold goes all the way through, and white gold's rhodium finish is renewed free under the lifetime warranty, so a DEEVE chain can be worn daily, polished, and repaired for decades.

What is the difference between Cuban, Figaro, Franco, and Mariner chains?

The difference is link architecture. Cuban links are flat, interlocking ovals that form a continuous line; Figaro alternates long and short links for rhythm; Franco weaves a tight V-pattern with a rounded, rope-like profile; Mariner links carry a bar across each oval. At equal width and solid construction, none outranks the others in durability — the choice is visual.

What chain width should I choose?

Narrower gauges read refined and pair well with pendants; mid widths around 4–5 mm hold their own worn alone; wider gauges make the chain the statement. Most DEEVE chains are unisex — width and length, not gender, decide how the piece reads.

What length should a gold chain be?

An 18–20 inch chain sits at the collarbone and is the most versatile length; 22–24 inches falls mid-chest for a longer line; choker lengths sit close to the neck. DEEVE's Jewelry Size Chart Guide includes a full length reference.

Do solid gold chains tarnish?

Solid 14K gold does not tarnish under normal wear. Minor dulling from skin oils is fully reversible with warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth — and because the gold runs all the way through, wear never reaches a different metal; white gold's rhodium finish is renewed free under the lifetime warranty.

Can a gold chain be repaired or adjusted?

Yes. Repairs and length adjustments are handled by DEEVE's in-house Ontario workshop, and every chain is covered by the lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects.

How quickly do DEEVE gold chains ship?

Every chain ships free worldwide with insured express delivery — arriving in 5–7 business days.
