As of today, the price of gold is $85.61 per gram, and sterling silver is $0.9904 per gram. It’s fascinating to compare the price of jewelry from new to preloved, and I appreciate that The Real Real lists the weight in grams for each piece. 1. Hermes’ necklace is 18k gold. J.Crew’s pieces are brass, gold-plated recycled zinc, and cubic zirconia. 2. Both Hermes and Etsy use sterling silver. The Etsy mariner necklaces are come in 4.6mm to 14mm; the Hermès necklace is 10mm wide. 3. The Herakles Knot Ring from The Met Store is 14K gold plate over 925 Sterling silver base. Hermès’ ring is 18k gold. 4. The Hermès bracelet is sterling silver, and Mango is 100% zinc. 5. The Hermès necklace is 18k gold, and Mango uses 85% brass, 8% stainless steel, 5% zinc, 2% acrylic. Lots of brands have mariner chain necklaces now, but J.Crew’s gold tone is warm, rich, and beautiful. Cos looks a bit too green to me.
