Buying a 750 gold chain: When is 18 karat worth it?
A 750 gold chain – that's the absolute high-end in the chain segment. 18 karat gold, 75% pure gold, intense color, maximum value. But when is the extra cost compared to 585 gold really worth it?
What is 750 gold?
750 gold contains 75% pure fine gold – alloyed with 25% other metals (silver, copper, palladium). The high gold content leads to:
- More intense, richer gold color than 585
- Higher material value and better value stability
- Better skin compatibility (less alloy metal)
- Slightly softer material (more pure gold = softer)
750 vs. 585: The concrete price difference
- 585 gold chain (5 g): approx. €280–450
- 750 gold chain (5 g): approx. €380–650
Rule of thumb: 750 is approx. 30–40% more expensive than 585 for the same weight and design.
When is 750 gold really worth it?
- Jewelry with valuable gemstones: 750 holds diamonds and sapphires optimally – standard material for luxury jewelry

When is 585 sufficient?
