Do fake gold chains look real?

Can a jeweler fix a broken chain?
Chains are usually pretty easy to fix, if they’re within a standard thickness around 1.4mm.

What is better 14k or 18K gold?
14k gold is more affordable than 18k since it contains less pure gold in the metal, and because it contains a higher percentage of alloyed metals it provides more durability and resistance to wear and tear. 14k gold can be an excellent choice for those with more active lifestyles.
Why 18K gold is the best?
18K gold has a rich, yellow appearance that makes it an attractive material for engagement rings and other jewelry. Since 18K gold is almost pure, there’s very little risk of jewelry made using this material causing any skin irritation if you have a nickel allergy.
