What is the difference between solid gold and rolled gold?

Solid gold chains consist entirely of gold alloy throughout the metal, marked by specific karat stamps like nine or eighteen carat. Rolled gold utilises a mechanical bonding process where a layer of gold covers a supportive base metal core.

How can I date my curb chain?

Dating relies heavily on official hallmarks stamped onto the links, which indicate the assay office, metal purity, and specific year of testing. Stylistic indicators such as heart padlocks, dog clips, and gemstone choices like turquoise and seed pearls also point toward Victorian or Edwardian periods.

What are half-engraved links?

Half-engraved links feature decorative hand-carving on one visible half of each individual curb link while the reverse remains plain. This technique creates a subtle pattern of alternating texture as the chain moves against the skin.
