Well, let me tell ya somethin’ about these here fancy necklaces, the tiffany gold chain necklace, they call ‘em. Folks always talkin’ ‘bout gettin’ somethin’ real, somethin’ that’ll last. Ain’t nobody wanna waste their hard-earned money on somethin’ that’ll turn green on ya neck quicker than a corn stalk grows in July.
Now, I heard tell that Tiffany, that’s a big name, ya know, they use real gold. Not that fake stuff you see at the flea market. They say it’s 18k gold, which I guess means it’s pretty good. They also make ‘em in rose gold, which sounds fancy, like somethin’ a princess would wear.
One thing ya gotta watch out for is them markings, the hallmarks, they call ‘em. Sometimes they stamped crooked, which makes ya think it ain’t real, but it probably is. I heard some smart fella sayin’ somethin’ ‘bout laser engravin’ too. Says if ya look real close, with a magnifying glass or somethin’, you can see little tiny dots. Makes ya wonder how they do that, all that tiny work.
But how do ya know what it’s worth? That’s the real question, ain’t it? They say you gotta weigh it, see how heavy it is. Then ya gotta figure out how much gold is in it, that 18k thing again. And then, ya gotta look up how much gold is sellin’ for that day. It’s all a bit complicated for an old gal like me, but I guess it’s important if you’re plannin’ on spendin’ a lot of money. The important thing to know is that pure gold is good and they say Tiffany gold necklaces are 100% 18-karat yellow gold.
They make all kinds of these necklaces, ya know? Some are long, some are short. Some have them little links, like a chain on a fence, only smaller and prettier. And some have them dangly things, diamonds they call ‘em. Shiny little things, but I ain’t never had one myself.
- Long ones
- Short ones
- Ones with little links
- Ones with shiny diamonds
I seen some pictures in a magazine once, them necklaces looked real nice. They said somethin’ ‘bout wearin’ ‘em every day, said it was a “striking essential.” I guess that means it’s somethin’ ya can wear with anything. Sounds practical, I like practical. And they said somethin’ ‘bout bein’ part of the “Tiffany family.” I don’t know ‘bout that, I got enough family already, but it sounds nice, I guess. They say Tiffany & Co. has been around since 1837, that’s a long time! Must be doin’ somethin’ right.
So, if you’re lookin’ for a good gold necklace, somethin’ that’ll last, somethin’ real, this tiffany gold chain necklace might be just the ticket. Just make sure ya know what you’re gettin’, check them markings, and don’t pay too much! And if you wanna add somethin’ fancy to your jewelry box, consider these necklaces. They got silver ones too, but gold, well, gold is gold. It’s somethin’ that’ll always be worth somethin’, ya know?
But remember, I’m just tellin’ ya what I heard. I ain’t no expert on fancy jewelry. I’m just an old lady who knows what’s what. And I’m tellin’ ya, real gold is the way to go. So go on now, and find yourself a nice necklace. Just make sure it’s real, and make sure ya like it. That’s the most important thing, ain’t it?
