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
• Allergy comfort: For nickel allergy sufferers – higher gold content, fewer alloy metals
• Intense yellow desired: 750 yellow gold has the most classic, richest gold color
• Intended as an investment: Higher material value
• Special occasions: Engagement and wedding rings – the best piece of your life deserves the best material

When is 585 sufficient?

• Everyday chains and bracelets
• More moderate budget
• More robust use (585 is often a bit more stable)
