Product Description
A 24K round link gold chain isn’t just jewelry – it’s wealth you can wear. Inspired by the historic “money chains” of 17th-century Europe, our chains revive the tradition of gold jewelry as both style and currency. Back then, round link chains were used to preserve true bullion value and avoid excessive taxes, a principle YinCity Gold upholds today.
Each chain is crafted from 99.99% pure 24K gold, with your choice of length, weight, and customization. Unlike chains at luxury retailers marked up 200–300% and often mixed with alloys, YinCity Gold offers fair pricing at only a 42% markup over live gold spot rates. That means you’re buying authentic bullion value, shaped into a durable, daily-wear chain that doubles as an investment.
