Hey everyone, I have a question regarding a solid 14k Gold chain I recently got my hands on. It is a bit darker than the previous chain I have had in my possession (the smaller of the two in the image below). I was wondering if anyone can give me a bit of insight as to why it is darker.
I was told by the jeweler that is was recently coated in an extra layer of 14k Gold after it was finished being made. I was then told that it would eventually look more pale yellow, like my thin necklace, after it experienced some wear. Should I believe this? Is there a method that the jeweler can use to make a chain darker/lighter?
thanks for any insight.
