14K Fancy Chains

Fancy gold necklaces cover the category of statement necklace designs that go beyond simple chain styles — multi-strand constructions, elaborate link patterns, bold geometric designs, and decorative gold necklaces that are the focal point of a look rather than a frame for a pendant. In 14K yellow gold, the warm amber tone amplifies the visual presence of elaborate necklace designs, and the 14K alloy provides the durability appropriate for pieces that will be worn frequently. This collection brings together the statement necklace category at Fashions in 14K fine gold.

Understanding Fancy Chains

What counts as a fancy chain?

Fancy is the trade term for decorative link patterns that fall outside the standard families such as cable, curb, rope, box and Figaro.

It describes the pattern rather than the metal, the karat or the construction.

How is a fancy chain different from a standard chain?

Standard chains repeat one link form in a regular run. Fancy chains vary the link shape, the spacing or the orientation to build a decorative rhythm, which is why they tend to be the visible element rather than a pendant carrier.

Can a fancy chain carry a pendant?

Some can and some are not designed to. Because the link shapes vary, the bail has to clear the widest point of the pattern rather than a uniform link width.

Check the pairing against the specific chain rather than assuming it.

Are fancy chains harder to repair?

It depends on the pattern. A repair has to reproduce the rhythm of the design as well as rejoin the metal, so a jeweller will want to see the piece before advising.

How do I compare two fancy chains?

Because the patterns differ, width alone is not a useful comparison. Gram weight, karat and construction are the figures that make two pieces comparable; ask for any that are not shown.
