Gold chains look good on women, tacky on men, so my answer is "It depends" (on whether it's worn by a woman or a man).

Tonyfsu21 · 9 January 2018, 11:27 AM

Cartier makes a very classy men’s 18k yellow or WG chain (santos I believe). This I would wear any day of the week.

KrismanX · 9 January 2018, 11:54 AM

I voted for 'depends'

There's a classy way to do things, there's a tacky way...and apparently a stable genius way.

Henry F. · 9 January 2018, 05:49 PM

Rather it's tacky or not depends on the design and the person that wears it.
Gold has a long history in jewelry and was initially worn as decoration by men and women.

Wow that is quite a vintage gold Rolex. Curious, is it a push crown or of such sort? How do you get the crown out to change the time?

That caught me off guard. The santos chain looks like a token of modern day slavery to me.

superstarmar · 9 January 2018, 08:27 PM

I wear a gold chain and it suits me... Notiing tackiy about a
Single chain ... A 14K diamond cut Figuero style 24 “ ...
More than one? Now it’s a different story ...

toneafficianado · 9 January 2018, 08:57 PM

I'd way prefer a 116618LB for my YG gold fix!

spoilsofwar01 · 9 January 2018, 09:10 PM

I inherited this double albert chain from a surrogate uncle, when I was aged around 6 I was told off by my mother as I was tugging on it from said uncles waist coat pocket, he was amused by this and showed me the watch that was attached to it, It was his fathers and during hard times he sold the solid gold watch that he originally had and replaced it with a lesser gold plated one thus saving face, Uncle "chef" died and I ended up with it as.... No one else was interested in his stories, so in my world Gold chains are a good thing to have............

Hmmm. Interesting. Not sure your looking at the right chain. Very classic design, classy, not in your face. I think if your going to wear a chain then this Is the one to wear.

1William · 9 January 2018, 09:33 PM

I think that they look good if done right. The size and cut of the chain has everything to do with it's appearance.

beshannon · 9 January 2018, 10:24 PM

They look great on my wife

Sprta · 9 January 2018, 11:35 PM

Wear one with a crucifix on it, never take it off.

kilyung · 10 January 2018, 12:49 AM

As with most everything, it depends.

Griswald · 10 January 2018, 12:55 AM

Not for me, but to each their own. Wear what makes you happy.

sawhornsoff · 10 January 2018, 02:05 AM

Been wearing the same 24k chain my grandmother gave me 20 years ago. My kids have both stakes claim to the chain. Guess I need to wear another so they can each have one.

Other than a wrist watch to tell time. I don't wear any jewelry including wedding band.

East Bay Rider · 10 January 2018, 01:57 PM

I've worn a thin gold chain with a cross on it under my shirt for the last 25+ years. I almost never take it off.

Danny83 · 10 January 2018, 02:15 PM

I use to wear a 300 gram cuban about ten years ago. I think I grew out of that stuff

topgear · 10 January 2018, 09:10 PM

It is not tacky if it is just the right size and length and not a deliberate ostentatious display of wealth.

SDRider · 10 January 2018, 09:34 PM

Other than my wedding band and my Rolex, I don’t wear any sort of jewelry.

It’s not that I think it is tacky, it certainly can be, I just don’t think it suits me personally.

brandrea · 10 January 2018, 09:35 PM

Depends on who’s wearing it.

I’m afraid it woukd look tacky on me though

theloxmyth · 10 January 2018, 09:41 PM

No neckchains, ever, and I'm 57 already ; )

Gold bracelet, most certainly, but nowhere near my Oyster band!
On the other wrist, only.

Headshrinker · 11 January 2018, 03:29 AM

In the warmer weather I wear one of two YG nautical anchor chains that were handmade. I think they look great with a tan. I don't wear the larger one with my YG watches; a little too much gold for my taste.

andromeda160 · 11 January 2018, 03:50 AM

I have a 70gram 14kt gold Cuban link chain, as well as many smaller chains in the 10-20gram region. My girlfriend hates them all and says they're tacky. She went so far as to rip one of my necklaces off my neck because she didn't like it before. still won't scrap them though, I like wearing them to the beach.

larsr · 11 January 2018, 04:10 AM

IMHO best left to the ladies...

tng11 · 11 January 2018, 08:16 AM

I have a couple of 24K ones I inherited from my grandfather. I have never worn them, and they're stored away in the safe deposit box. I put one of them on once and despite it being a thin and light one, it felt way too gaudy and old-man like for my taste.
