Superfine Gold Necklace with Maltese Cross: the fine chain is crafted in 9ct Gold, 45cms length ; imported from Italy, quite light in weight at only 0.7 grams; the Maltese Cross, created and crafted in Sydney, is a solid little pendant and weighs 0.5 grams; this little Maltese Cross is actually crafted in solid 18ct Gold, but for the purposes of pricing the above pendant/chain set it will be counted as the same carat Gold as the chain, namely 9ct.
The price of Gold is, as of June 2024, at its highest per gram ever. The total weight of the above Superfine Gold Necklace with pendant is 1.2 grams. Presently, December 2024, the wholesale price of 9ct Gold chain is a little over $83 per gram; if we count the 18ct Gold Maltese Cross as 9ct Gold, and price the whole on the replacement cost of the 9ct Gold chain, the total 1.2 grams translates to a replacement cost of around $100.
