ticketsunlimited Posted October 15, 2021 #2 Share Posted October 15, 2021 My wife once told me you should never by anything by the inch, especially something that they consider gold.😉 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashland Posted October 15, 2021 #3 Share Posted October 15, 2021 We always referred to it as junk by the inch. But if it's your thing enjoy it 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it's just a very thin layer of gold, it's not even worth what they sell it for. The way they display it always reminds me of the chains they sell at hardware stores. 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruisinNole Posted October 15, 2021 #5 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I bought a couple of chains and frankly have not had a single issue with them. In fact, a few years ago, my house was broken into and the thieves stole nearly all my jewelry including the Gold by the Inch chains but left my expensive real gold chains. Glad that these criminals were super stupid. 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxgoodrich Posted October 15, 2021 #9 Share Posted October 15, 2021 If you like it, and you know you're paying for gold plated chain (not solid gold chain), then go for it! I feel bad for people who mistakenly believe it's solid gold chain as the hype is a bit misleading. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Fart Cruisers Posted October 15, 2021 #11 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I think they watch the art auction attendance to see how many suckers are on board. If they have a good turn out there, they know they have a good chance to sell out the gold by the inch.😁 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if it's your thing enjoy it I guess I should have stated that it was gold plated. I’m aware of that and was just wanting some to make a mask holder. I don’t think anywhere does anyone call real gold “gold by the inch”. At least not that I’m aware of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never been interested in it, except couldn’t find a mask holder on board so I was wondering if they could make one. Guess I don’t want to risk it not being on Adventure next month so I’ll just have to find something at home. That’s terrible people are fooled into believing it’s real gold.

A mask holder with a little shine...I think you have a good idea, and I'm sure they could make something for you with chain. Too bad you can't be sure they'll be on your ship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should be able to find a long "gold" chain at Target or Walmart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldflame Posted October 16, 2021 #19 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I've seen it in many cruises when they have the sale in the promenade. It's the junkiest and chintziest looking "gold" you've ever seen. I believe it's 14k-plated, not even solid. Calling it "gold" is gratuitious.

kw1816 Posted October 16, 2021 #20 Share Posted October 16, 2021 Many moons ago, when I worked onboard, the shoppies always referred to it as 'Inch of Mold'. Always makes me smile when I see it for sale 🙂 Oh, and Tanzanite was running out - quick, buy as an investment* *This was 30 years ago, I note that Tanzanite is *still* running out .... 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KelJ Posted October 17, 2021 #23 Share Posted October 17, 2021 I don’t know remember what RCCL ship we were on, but a few years ago DH and I became chatty with a sales clerk. He’d be somewhere different each night, like the Invicta watch sale, the $5 jewelry sale, the t-shirt sale. When we approached him working the gold by the inch stand, he whispered to us, “You can’t buy cheaper *****.” We still laugh about it. My mom had purchased a gold by the inch necklace on a RCCL ship many years ago. It tarnished (big surprise). She went on a different RCCL ship several years later and took it with her to complain. They exchanged it for free. My mom was so happy. I have no idea if the replacement ever tarnished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
