About Gold and Silver Curb and Cuban Links.

 This guide will help you make an informed choice when choosing a necklace in gold or silver. A necklace is usually made up of a number of links that are interlocked to form a chain. The carat index measures the purity of gold. This is usually expressed by a mark consisting of three digits that are engraved into the piece. These typically range from 375 (9ct) - the most diluted to 999 (24% - purest). The same index is found in silver and should be engraved on the piece. These can be anywhere from 750 (lowest) up to 999.9 ("highest") Sterling silver, which is often used in jewelry, should have the inscription '925' somewhere on it


There are many types of links that can be used to make silver and gold necklaces. The belcher links are usually torus-shaped and interlock at 90° to the next one. Curb Links, which are the traditionally shaped links used for chains other than jewelry, are also known as "curb links". They can be flat or undulated. Each link connects to the next at the exact angle, so if laid flat all can be oriented the same. Cuban links have a similar form to curb links, but they are almost circular in shape. To allow a strand of beads to pass between them, bead links are hollow spheres that have a hole through. To keep the beads at a consistent distance, a spacer can be used. By interlocking the rope links in a spiral shape, rope links create the illusion of one woven strand.

A pendant can be attached to a gold or silver necklace. It is important to pay attention to the type of link used in the chain. The shape of the links on the necklace should be considered if the necklace will be worn with a large pendant. A rounded link will allow the pendant to move freely and without being snagged. The belcher link is one example of such a link. If the necklace you chose is not suitable for the pendant you have chosen, a jeweler should notify you and offer a replacement.

Prices for silver and gold necklaces are influenced by their purity and weight. However, designer branding can sometimes increase the cost of jewelry. Handmade jewelry tends to be more expensive than machine-made jewelry.
