Collection: Gold Filled Necklaces

Handpicked 14K & 18K Gold Filled Necklaces

Hi! If you're here, you probably love necklaces as much as I do. There's something special about finding that perfect piece that sits just right. For the past 12 years, I've been in the jewelry business and honestly, gold filled necklaces are really close to my heart.

I spend my time sourcing beautiful pieces from talented makers and artisans. From delicate chains to statement pendants, beaded designs to layering pieces, every necklace I choose reflects that effortless Newport Beach vibe I love. Minimalist, beachy and made to be lived in.

What Are Gold Filled Necklaces?

Just like the gold filled jewelry pieces throughout my collection, these necklaces feature a thick layer of real 14K or 18K gold bonded to a base metal. We're talking at least 5% of the necklace's total weight in actual gold. That's way more than gold plated pieces that wear off after a few months.

I chose gold filled because I wanted to offer beautiful necklaces that can last for years without that solid gold price tag. You get real gold that works for everyday wear.

Why Women Love Gold Filled Necklaces

Real Gold, Real Affordable

The 14k and 18k gold filled necklaces I carry gives you that gorgeous gold look without maxing out your budget. Whether you want one special piece or you're building a collection to layer, gold filled makes it possible.

Better for Sensitive Skin

The thick gold layer typically means fewer reactions for many people. So many customers tell me they can finally wear necklaces again without that annoying green tint or irritation. The gold helps keep your skin from touching the base metal.

Built to Last with Care

I've had customers wear their Balboa Gold necklaces regularly for years. The 14K gold filled pieces especially are designed to handle everyday wear when cared for properly. The 18K pieces have that beautiful rich color but need a bit more gentle handling.

Some pieces just hit different, you know? Here are the ones my customers keep coming back for:

Styles for Every Vibe

Gold Filled Chain Necklaces

From delicate gold filled chain necklaces to bolder statement chains, I curate different styles to give you options. The 18" length is my go-to because it's that perfect sweet spot.

Gold Filled Pendant Necklaces

A gold filled pendant necklace is where you can really express yourself. I source everything from simple geometric shapes to more detailed designs. Each gold filled necklace pendant is selected to be a piece you reach for every day.

Gold Filled Beaded Necklaces

There's something about a gold filled beaded necklace that just feels good to wear. The texture, the movement, the way it catches light. These pieces add that extra something to any outfit.

Layering & Stacking

Want to know the secret to layering gold necklaces? Start with different lengths and mix textures. Pair a simple chain with a pendant, add a beaded piece. That's how you create your own look. The gold filled chain necklaces I carry are designed to layer beautifully together.

Complete Your Look

Don't stop at necklaces! I’ve got rings, bracelets and anklets too that perfectly pairs with your necklaces. Mix and match to create your own California-inspired style.

Curated with Care in Costa Mesa

Every single necklace is carefully selected and brought to my Costa Mesa store. I'm not just buying whatever's trending or available. I source from small makers and trusted suppliers, looking for pieces that match my aesthetic and quality standards.

After 12 years, I've learned what works. Which styles are having a moment, what quality details matter, what lengths women actually want to wear. I bring all that knowledge to curating Balboa Gold's collection. Sometimes Tuna helps supervise at the store too (mostly by napping).

What Customers Are Saying

"Love your charm necklace~~cute and unique~"

Feedbacks like this remind me why I do this. Finding pieces that make people happy, that they actually want to wear, that become part of their story. That's everything.

Taking Care of Your Gold Filled Necklaces

Gold filled necklaces that women wear every day need simple care:

14K vs 18K Care:

The 14K gold filled pieces are more durable for everyday wear and can handle a bit more. The 18K gold filled necklaces have that gorgeous rich color but need gentler care. I don't recommend wearing 18K pieces in the shower or during activities.

Avoid harsh stuff. Take your necklace off before applying lotions, perfumes, or using cleaning products. Chemicals can affect any jewelry over time.

Clean it gently. Warm water and a soft cloth. That's usually all you need. For more detailed steps, check out my guide on gold chain cleaning.

Store it right. Hang it or lay it flat in a jewelry box to prevent tangling and scratches. Keeps your necklace looking new.

Swimming? Remove your necklace before chlorinated pools or salt water. This helps it stay beautiful longer.

Why Balboa Gold?

I started in this business 12 years ago making jewelry myself. Over time, I discovered I have a real eye for finding beautiful pieces and trends before they hit mainstream. Now I get to do what I love: curating a collection that feels special and intentional.

The name Balboa Gold comes from Newport Beach, the place that inspires everything I do. That effortless coastal style, the mix of casual and elevated, the timeless pieces you reach for again and again.

I work with trusted suppliers and small business makers. Every piece is carefully selected before it comes to my store. No random inventory, just thoughtfully chosen pieces.

If you want real gold without the crazy price, if you love supporting businesses with an eye for quality and style, or if you just want something beautiful that lasts, you're in the right place.
