Yellow Gold Rope For Sale on 1stDibs

You are likely to find exactly the yellow gold rope you’re looking for on 1stDibs, as there is a broad range for sale. Each design created in this style — which was crafted with great care and often made from gold, yellow gold and 18k gold — can elevate any look. Find an antique version now, or shop for 3995 vintage or 1463 modern creation for a more contemporary example of these cherished accessories. Making the right choice when shopping for a yellow gold rope may mean carefully reviewing examples of this item dating from different eras — you can find an early iteration of this piece from the 18th Century and a newer version made as recently as the 21st Century, both of which have proven very popular over the years. A yellow gold rope from Tiffany Co., Van Cleef Arpels and Cartier — each of whom created a beautiful version of this treasured accessory — is worth considering. A yellow gold rope can be a stylish choice for most occasions, but diamond rings, from our inventory of 1485, can add a particularly distinctive touch to your look, day or night. A round cut version of this piece has appeal, but there are also cabochon and oval cut versions for sale. When shopping for a yellow gold rope, you’ll find that there are less available pieces for unisex or men today than there are for women.

How Much is a Yellow Gold Rope?

The price for a yellow gold rope starts at $56 and tops out at $430,361 with these necklaces, on average, selling for $2,984.

Why Gold Shines in Jewelry Craftsmanship

Gold is the feel-good metal, the serotonin of jewelry. Wear vintage and antique gold necklaces, watches, gold bracelets or gold rings and you feel happy, you feel dressed, you feel, well, yourself. 

Gold, especially yellow gold, with its rich patina and ancient pedigree going back thousands of years, is the steady standby, the well-mannered metal of choice. Any discussion of this lustrous metal comes down to a basic truth: Gold is elementary, my dear. Gold jewelry that couples the mystique of the metal with superb design and craftsmanship achieves the status of an enduring classic. Many luxury houses have given us some of our most treasured and lasting examples of gold jewelry over the years.

Since its founding, in 1837, Tiffany Co. has built its reputation on its company jewelry as well as its coterie of boutique designers, which has included Jean Schlumberger, Donald Claflin, Angela Cummings and Elsa Peretti. There are numerous gold Tiffany classics worth citing. Some are accented with gemstones, but all stand out for their design and the workmanship displayed.

For the woman who prefers a minimalist look, the Tiffany Co. twist bangle (thin, slightly ovoid) is stylishly simple. For Cummings devotees, signature pieces feature hard stone inlay, such as her pairs of gold ear clips inlaid with black jade (a play on the classic Chanel black and tan), or bangles whose design recalls ocean waves, with undulating lines of lapis lazuli and mother-of-pearl. And just about any design by the great Jean Schlumberger is by definition a classic.

Even had he eschewed stones and diamonds, Southern-born David Webb would be hailed for the vast arsenal of heavy gold jewelry he designed. Gold, usually hammered or textured in some manner, defines great David Webb jewelry. The self-taught jeweler made very au courant pieces while drawing inspiration from ancient and out-of-the-way sources — East meets West in the commanding gold necklaces made by Webb in the early 1970s. The same could be said for his endlessly varied gold cuffs.

In Europe, many houses have given us gold jewelry that sets the highest standard for excellence, pieces that were highly sought after when they were made and continue to be so. 

Numerous designs from Cartier are homages to gold. There are the classic Trinity rings, necklaces and bracelets — trifectas of yellow, white and rose gold. As a testament to the power of love, consider the endurance of the Cartier Love bracelet.

Aldo Cipullo, Cartier’s top in-house designer from the late 1960s into the early ’70s, made history in 1969 with the Love bracelet. Cipullo frequently said that the Love bracelet was born of a sleepless night contemplating a love affair gone wrong and his realization that “the only remnants he possessed of the romance were memories.” He distilled the urge to keep a loved one close into a slim 18-karat gold bangle. 

BVLGARI and its coin jewelry, gemme nummarie, hit the jackpot when the line launched in the 1960s. The line has been perennially popular. BVLGARI coin jewelry features ancient Greek and Roman coins embedded in striking gold mounts, usually hung on thick link necklaces of varying lengths. In the 1970s, BVLGARI introduced the Tubogas line, most often made in yellow gold. The Tubogas watches are classics, and then there is the Serpenti, the house's outstanding snake-themed watches and bracelets.

A collection called Monete that incorporated the gold coins is one of several iconic BVLGARI lines that debuted in the 1970s and ’80s, catering to a new generation of empowered women. Just as designers like Halston and Yves Saint Laurent were popularizing fuss-free ready-to-wear fashion for women on the go, BVLGARI offered jewels to be lived in

Since Van Cleef Arpels opened its Place Vendôme doors in 1906, collection after collection of jewelry classics have enchanted the public. As predominantly expressed in a honeycomb of gold, there is the Ludo watch and accessories, circa the 1920s, and the golden Zip necklace, 1951, whose ingenious transformation of the traditional zipper was originally proposed by the Duchess of Windsor. Van Cleef's Alhambra, with its Moroccan motif, was introduced in 1968 and from the start its popularity pivoted on royalty and celebrity status. It remains one of VCA’s most popular and collected styles.

Mention must be made of Buccellati, whose name is synonymous with gold so finely spun that it suggests tapestry. The house’s many gold bracelets, typically embellished with a few or many diamonds, signified taste and distinction and are always in favor on the secondary market. Other important mid-20th-century houses known for their gold-themed jewelry include Hermès and Ilias Lalaounis.

Questions About Yellow Gold Rope
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Yes, yellow gold contains real gold. The makeup of yellow gold is pure gold mixed with alloys. The karatage of yellow gold determines the amount of pure gold.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024
    The difference between yellow gold and white gold comes down to the alloys used to produce them. Yellow gold gets its color from pure gold and alloy metals in warm hues like copper. On the other hand, white gold's cool appearance is owed to the presence of alloy metals like silver, zinc, palladium and nickel. Shop a variety of gold jewelry on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 26, 2024
    There is no standard for how much a 14K gold rope chain should weigh. The thickness of the chain will contribute to its weight, since thicker pieces have more mass than thinner ones. In addition, the length of the chain will impact how much it weighs, with longer chains generally weighing more than shorter ones of the same thickness. On 1stDibs, explore a diverse assortment of gold chains.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 1, 2023
    Whether white gold or yellow gold is better for diamond earrings is a matter of personal preference.

Explore a large collection of diamond earrings on 1stDibs.

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 6, 2023
    Yes, yellow gold can be good for engagement rings. Many people love the warm, rich color of yellow gold, and the metal has been used to produce rings for centuries, giving it timeless appeal.

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 8, 2023
    No, yellow gold engagement rings are not out of style. In fact, white gold and yellow gold are still among the most popular metals for engagement rings and wedding rings. It's important to note that while current trends with respect to engagement rings may seem to ebb and flow more quickly than those of days gone by, couples don't get engaged the moment a trend emerges. Whatever may be trending now with respect to engagement rings may be a style or cut that has been popular for years. Find antique and vintage wedding rings on 1stDibs.
    1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    Whether yellow gold engagement rings are out of style depends largely on who you ask. To many individuals, yellow gold is a timeless precious metal that remains appealing despite changing trends. That's part of the reason why brides in the British royal family, from Meghan Markle to Kate Middleton to Princess Diana, all received yellow gold engagement rings. Find a diverse assortment of yellow gold engagement rings on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Yes, 18k gold can tarnish, but it is uncommon. Pure gold does not combine easily with oxygen and therefore does not tarnish. The higher the karat, the less likely a piece of gold will tarnish.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022

  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 21, 2023
    Whether diamond studs are better in white or yellow gold depends on your preferences. Yellow gold makes an appealing contrast with clear diamonds and brings warmth to earrings.

    It could be said that yellow gold engagement rings aren't coming back in style because people never stop wearing them.
