    Some people like to DIY gold chain belts by acquiring a chain then making it into a belt with lobster claws and jump rings. The only tool you need is a pair of pliers to put it all together.

    To tell if a gold chain is real, first try placing it near a magnet. If you sense a strong attraction between the magnet and the chain, it is unlikely to be solid gold. Another way to test is to gently scratch an old ceramic plate with your chain. A black streak will usually indicate that the piece is made of a metal other than gold. Alternatively, you can have a jeweler or certified appraiser inspect your chain. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of gold chains from some of the world's top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 5, 2021
