For my 18K gold necklaces I offer a choice of chain styles - I will send you selection pictures on the drawing. The have two ways about ordering a necklace from me: either purchase an existing listing and send me details after order completion or request a custom quote, provide me with info and purchase if you are happy with the mock up sketch. When I give custom quotes for gold necklaces (14K or 18K gold) I often offer few size/price options. The price of a gold necklace is based on how much gold used - the bigger the pendant and the longer the chain, the more it will cost. Price of $740 is for an medium size pendant (I don't give size suggestions since each design is different - some are wider, some are taller, so size of the pendant vary). 18K gold pendant is 2mm thick - it is cast, not cut out of the metal sheet. Feel free to contact me if you have a question, I am here to help.
