Here’s a detailed breakdown of gold necklaces in 10 points:

1. Material & Purity – Gold necklaces are made from pure gold (24K) or gold alloys (22K, 18K, 14K), with lower karats mixed with metals like copper or silver for strength and durability.

2. Types of Gold Necklaces – Popular styles include chokers, princess-length, opera-length, matinee, and rani haar, each suited for different occasions and fashion preferences.

3. Design & Craftsmanship – Gold necklaces can feature intricate handwork, filigree, meenakari, kundan, polki, or temple designs, reflecting traditional and contemporary artistry.

4. Weight & Thickness – Necklaces vary in weight and thickness, with heavier and broader designs being more elaborate and suitable for weddings or grand occasions.

5. Studded Variants – Some gold necklaces are plain, while others are adorned with diamonds, pearls, emeralds, rubies, or other precious and semi-precious stones for enhanced beauty.

6. Hallmarking & Authenticity – Certified gold necklaces come with BIS (Bureau of Indian Standards) hallmarking in India or other international certifications ensuring gold purity and authenticity.

7. Durability & Maintenance – High-karat gold (24K) is softer and more prone to scratches, whereas lower-karat gold (18K, 14K) is more durable and retains intricate designs better.
