Gold Jewelry Gram Weights

Sapphiregal · ‎04-08-2019

Why do they not give the gram weight on all of the pricier pieces of jewelry? For me, that is a big part of the description of an item I am considering purchasing from TV.

I was just watching some Eternagold rope chains being offered in several lengths. The 16" was a $ 500.00 chain. They look to be substantial, but, items always appear larger on air than they really are. Maybe they mentioned gram weights before I started watching, but, I looked at it online and no gram weights given.

@Sapphiregal I agree it would be nice to know! I have an Eternagold rose gold rope chain from years ago and it's solid with good quality and a user-friendly clasp. I thought this particular yellow gold rope was beautiful and I'm sure the quality is there but the starting price point was not where I want to go now. The whole gold show with Courtney and David M. is lovely but pricey.

They are probably afraid to give the gram weight because the customers can tell how overpriced many things really are.

A lot of the Eterna necklaces do have the gram weight as part of the "title". Don't know why they would choose not to put it for all of them.

They don't want you to realize how much you're now paying per gram.

I completely agree! If we were really getting a great value they were proud of, the gram weight would CERTAINLY be listed prominently.

On other channels that sell jewelry grams are ALWAYS given, usually included in the product title. They do this for both Silver and Gold pieces. Heck, I've even seen another give grams for stainless steel pieces!

I also wish they'd include solitaire ct weights and dimensions more often than not.

QVC used to give gm weights abt 20 yrs ago when Lisa R had those Italian gold shows.

I jsut buy elsewhere when they don't give the proper info

Years ago they gave gram weights. They deliberately don't now so customers don't know how lightweight pieces are.

If a necklace is 1/16" of an inch wide and has a clasp closure-not a lobster claw closure --how fine of a chain can it be?

They don't give gram weights because there are so few grams in pieces. A $500 chain would run 2-3 grams, max, on Q. Occasionally, you'll see 4 grams but that's rare on Q for $500.
