18 k or 14 k gold necklace recommendations for pendants

[D2B]

Hi
Assuming that branding really won't make any difference to a plain gold necklace - can anyone recommend any vendors for a plain gold 18 or 14 k necklace around 18 inches that I can use to put my pendants on - a fine thin necklace.

Is there really a difference in quality between fine jewellers and mall jewellers if the piece is marked 18 k and is a thin box chain or similar if that makes any sense...
many thanks

I like Saraaf for plain gold chains and bands.
