You are paying for air. A solid chain of this size contains this much more gold value.

📝 User Instructions

1. Weigh Your Chain: Put your chain on a gram scale. Be precise (e.g., 42.5g).

2. Measure Width: Use a ruler or calipers to get the width in millimeters (mm).

3. Analyze: The meter will calculate the density. If it hits RED, your chain is likely hollow or semi-hollow.

🚀 Why check for Hollow?

Hollow chains are sold at "Solid" prices to trick beginners. They dent easily, cannot be repaired easily, and hold 60% less gold value.

  • Don't Overpay: A 6mm hollow chain looks like a $2000 chain but is only worth $800.
  • Durability Check: Solid chains last forever. Hollow chains crush under pressure.
