Frequently Asked Questions

Which gold necklaces wont tarnish?

Fine jewellery made from solid gold, particularly 9ct, 14ct, or 18ct, won’t tarnish the way plated or gold-filled pieces can. At Black Finch, we work exclusively with recycled solid gold, which holds its colour, lustre, and integrity for years to come. It’s gold through and through, made to be worn, lived in, and passed on.

If you’re looking for a gold necklace that stays radiant with minimal upkeep, solid gold is always your best bet. Unlike plated jewellery, it won’t fade or peel with time. With occasional gentle cleaning and mindful storage, your gold piece will continue to tell your story, year after year.

What karat gold is best for an everyday use necklace?

While 18ct gold offers a rich hue and high gold content, many of our clients choose 9ct for everyday wear due to its durability. The alloy mix in these carats gives the gold added strength without compromising on beauty, ideal for necklaces that sit close to the skin and are worn often.

We believe the best choice is one that suits your lifestyle. All of our gold necklaces are handcrafted in our handmade jewellery Melbourne studio using ethically sourced, recycled gold, whatever the karat, you’ll be wearing a piece made to last.

What is a timeless necklace?

A timeless necklace is one that feels effortlessly personal, never too trend-driven, yet full of personal symbolism. It might be a fine chain worn daily, a meaningful pendant you return to again and again, or a custom piece of jewellery designed to mark a moment.

At Black Finch, our approach to unique necklaces blends modern design with traditional craftsmanship, ensuring your piece not only endures in quality but in style too. Timeless doesn’t mean safe, it means meaningful.

What necklace length is most flattering?

The most flattering length often depends on your neckline and personal style, but you can’t go wrong with a classic 40 to 45-cm chain. This length tends to sit at the collarbone, drawing attention to the face and layering beautifully with longer styles.

We love pairing shorter modern necklaces with bolder pendants or fine layering chains. Need guidance? We offer styling support and bespoke sizing to help you find your perfect fit, because the most flattering piece is the one that feels made for you.
