5K Gold Rope Chains
5K gold rope chains — the same diamond-cut rope we make in 14K, in a harder, more affordable alloy.
Why 5K gold
Built to take a beating.
Gold on its own is soft. The lower the karat, the more strengthening metals in the alloy — so 5K is the hardest gold we make, and the best at resisting dents, scratches and stretched links on a heavy everyday rope.

Selling 5K in the US
Clearly labeled, fully compliant.
Under the FTC's Jewelry Guides, gold below 10 karat can be sold as gold as long as its karat is shown clearly and just as prominently. Every piece we make is stamped 5K and sold as "5K gold" — so retailers can offer real gold at a price point far below 10K and 14K.
5K is one of the fastest-growing categories for American jewelry retailers. Stock it at wholesale →
