Gold necklaces are available in various chain lengths and in different link sizes and shapes. Often a matching gold chain bracelet is purchased with a gold necklace.

Gold pendants for necklaces are usually made from commercial pure (CP) gold because they do not receive the amount of daily wear that gold rings would. Gold pendants that feature Christian crosses and other religious symbols are especially popular.

Other popular shapes for gold pendants include animals, hearts, and letters of the alphabet. Pendants that feature diamonds and other gemstones create a dramatic effect against the color of gold.
