Modern and Contemporary are consistently popular styles when it comes to vintage gold necklaces.

How Much are Vintage Gold Necklaces?

Finding the Right Necklaces for You

We are fortunate to know much of the world’s long and dazzling history of necklaces, as this type of jewelry was so treasured that it was frequently buried with its owners. Today, Van Cleef necklaces, Tiffany necklaces and Cartier necklaces are some of the most popularly searched designer necklaces on 1stDibs.

Lapis lazuli beads adorned necklaces unearthed from the royal graves at the ancient Iraqi civilization of Sumer, while the excavation of King Tut’s burial chamber revealed a sense of style that led to a frenzy of Art Deco designs, with artisans of the 1920s seeking to emulate the elegant work crafted by Ancient Egypt’s goldsmiths and jewelry makers. 

In ancient times, pendant necklaces worn by royalty and nobles conferred wealth and prestige. Today, wearing jewelry is about personal expression: Luxury diamond necklaces exude confidence and can symbolize the celebratory nature of a deep romantic relationship, while paper-clip chain-link necklaces designed by the likes of goldsmith Faye Kim are firmly planted in the past as well as the present. Kim works exclusively with eco-friendly gold, and these fashionable, fun accessories owe to the design of 19th-century watch fobs. 

For some, necklaces are thought of as being a solely feminine piece, but this widely loved accessory has been gender-neutral for eons. In fact, just as women rarely took to wearing a single necklace during the Renaissance, men of the era layered chains and valuable pendants atop their bejeweled clothing. In modern times, the free-spirited hippie and counterculture movements of the 1960s saw costume-jewelry designers celebrating self-expression through colorful multistrand necklaces and no shortage of beads, which were worn by anyone and everyone. 

Even after all of these years, the necklace remains an irrefutable staple of any complete outfit. Although new trends in jewelry are constantly emerging, the glamour and beauty of the past continue to inform modern styles and designs. In a way, the cyclical history of the necklace differs little from its familiar looped form: The celebrated French jewelry house Van Cleef Arpels found much inspiration in King Tut, and, now, their Alhambra collection is a go-to for modern royals. Vintage David Webb necklaces — whose work landed him on the cover of Vogue in 1950, two years after opening his Manhattan shop — were likely inspired by the ornamental styles of ancient Greece, Mesopotamia and Egypt

On 1stDibs, browse top designers like Dior, Chanel and Bulgari, or shop by your favorite style, from eye-catching choker necklaces to understated links to pearl necklaces and more. 

Questions About Vintage Gold Necklaces
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 16, 2024
    How much your gold necklace is worth will depend on a few factors. Gold has value on its own as scrap metal. Usually, scrap metal pricing depends on the weight of gold and the type of alloy, and prices vary over time. Some gold necklaces may be worth more than the going rate due to their age, maker, style, type and condition. As a result, you may wish to have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable jeweler examine your necklace and tell you how much it may be worth before selling it to a scrap dealer. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of gold necklaces.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    What makes a necklace vintage is its age. Any necklace made at least 20 to 80 years ago is vintage. Necklaces produced a century ago or more are antiques. A vintage-inspired or vintage-style necklace is one manufactured during the past 20 years but inspired by older jewelry. Find a wide variety of vintage necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024
    To tell if a necklace is vintage, one approach is to conduct research using trusted online resources. Start by looking for hallmarks and then use the maker's mark to identify the brand that produced it. From there, you can look at online catalogues and reference guides to determine approximately when your jewelry was made. A necklace is vintage if it is between 20 and 99 years old. Another option is to have a certified appraiser or knowledgeable jeweler help you with the dating process. On 1stDibs, find a diverse assortment of vintage necklaces.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    No, most Napier necklaces are gold-plated brass. Gold-plated brass is often favored for being more budget-friendly and durable, but it is not hypoallergenic and should be avoided by those who have sensitive skin. Browse a selection of Napier jewelry on 1stDibs.

    What a gold heart necklace means is open to interpretation. Many people associate gold with wealth and success, while a heart pendant is often equated with romance. Together, these symbols may represent success in love or the preciousness of a relationship. It's also possible to not assign any deeper meaning to the necklace and to wear one simply because you like how it looks. Shop a large assortment of gold heart necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024
    To tell if a rhinestone necklace is vintage, look on the clasp or the back of the pendant for a maker's mark. By snapping a photo of the mark and performing a reverse image search or entering a description of the marking into an online search engine, you can often identify the maker of a piece. Then, conduct further research to learn when the company or artisan was active and producing necklaces similar to yours. It is vintage if you estimate that your necklace is between 20 and 99 years old. Older pieces are antiques, while newer ones are contemporary. For additional assistance with dating your rhinestone necklace, consult a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. On 1stDibs, find a wide variety of vintage necklaces.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    To determine whether a pearl necklace is modern or vintage, first look for signs of wear, such as blunted edges on the prongs. The pearls will likely have dull spots where they came into contact with skin. The clasp can clue you in, too. Lobster clasps appeared in the 1970s, while early 20th century clasps were generally safety-pin style or C-clasps. Modern necklaces typically have a spring-loaded clasp. Shop a selection of vintage pearl jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    The gold content of a vintage watch will depend on the make and model of the watch. Gold is a popular choice for luxury watches due to its finish and yellow-golden hue that can be achieved through gold or gold-plated bands. Shop a wide selection of expertly vetted vintage watches on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

    No, Vivienne Westwood necklaces are mostly made of sterling silver and brass along with other imitation stones and metals. Most gold-looking pieces in her collection are actually brass.

  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    At home, you can tell if a necklace is real gold by using a magnet. Put the magnet near the gold and see if it sticks. If it does, your piece is either a base metal plated in gold or an entirely different metal. While there are additional ways to test jewelry at home, these methods may cause discoloration or damage your necklace. As a result, you may wish to consult a certified appraiser or experienced jeweler if you need assistance with material identification. Shop a wide range of gold necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 20, 2024
    To tell if a vintage Tiffany necklace is real, look closely at the links and clasp. Due to their expert craftsmanship, Tiffany Co. links appear continuous and have no visible seams or solder marks. The clasp should also be sturdy and free of solder or glue marks. Hallmarks can also help you authenticate your piece. Most Tiffany Co. jewelry will say the maker's full time or “T&Co.” Items marked simply with “Tiffany” are usually not authentic. Comparing the markings on your jewelry to hallmark images found on trusted online resources can help you identify counterfeits. A certified appraiser or experienced dealer can also be of assistance. On 1stDibs, explore a variety of vintage Tiffany Co. necklaces.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Vintage Chanel jewelry always has a date stamp and logo located somewhere on the piece that you can use for authentication. Everything on the date stamp should be easy to read, and the Chanel logo should look immaculate. Fake logos are often hard to read and have mistakes in the font. All the details should be exquisite, and the necklace should feel substantial. If it feels light and cheap, it’s probably a fake. Shop a collection of authentic vintage Chanel necklaces from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 24, 2024
    To tell if your vintage glasses are gold, look on the nose bridge and the temples for a purity mark. Makers often stamped their solid gold pieces with “12K,” “10K,” “14K” and other markings to identify their gold eyewear. You can research all of these markings using trusted online resources. Should you locate a "GF" mark, it is likely that your glasses are gold-filled rather than solid gold. This means that the frames are predominantly a less expensive metal but do have a thin layer of genuine gold alloy as a finish. Another mark that indicates your glasses contain some gold is "RGF." The mark stands for “rolled gold filled.” Glasses bearing this mark feature a gold-plated finish that is thinner than what's found on traditional gold-filled frames. For assistance identifying your eyeglass frame material, consult a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer. Explore a selection of vintage glasses on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 26, 2024
    To tell if a 14K gold necklace is real, place a magnet on it. If you notice a strong attraction, the piece is unlikely to be genuine 14-karat gold because the gold alloy is not magnetic. A certified appraiser or experienced jeweler can also help you assess whether your piece is real gold. Find a wide variety of gold necklaces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 12, 2021
    How much a 14k gold necklace should cost will depend on its value on the precious metals market, as it changes every day. The average cost of 14k gold should be around $31 according to the market for gold. A 14k gold necklace’s value will depend on craftsmanship, origin, condition and other factors that include the market price. Find antique and vintage gold necklaces on 1stDibs.
