Gold Set Design Gallery: Necklace and Earring Sets
Every gold set design in this gallery is a necklace shown with its matching earrings, so you can see the full look before you order. There are 15 original sets, from heavy bridal pieces to light party sets, and each gold set design new to the gallery is shown complete.
Buying a set from one jeweller means the colour, finish and stones match exactly. But you can also build a set in parts over time. Start with the necklace and add earrings later.

|---|---|---|
| Pendant set | About 6 to 15 g | Daily wear and gifts |
| Kitty set | About 9 to 15 g | Parties and dinners |
| Light weight set | About 10 to 20 g | Small functions |
| Choker set | About 18 to 45 g | Engagement and sangeet |
| Bridal set | About 45 g and up | Wedding day |
Weights are rough guides only. Hollow and filigree work bring them down; solid and stone-heavy work push them up.
What to Check Before Buying a Gold Set
- Each piece, necklace and both earrings, should carry its own BIS hallmark with purity like 22K916 and a 6-digit HUID.
- Stone weight should be shown separately from gold weight on the bill.
- Price is weight in grams times today's rate for 22k or 18k, then the making charge, then 3% GST. Our price guide shows examples.
- Ask about exchange value: plain gold usually gets a better return than heavy stone work.
Store each set in its own box with the necklace laid flat. Keep pearls and foil-backed stones away from water and perfume.
Questions buyers ask
What is a kitty set in gold?
A kitty set is a short, light necklace with matching earrings. It is made for kitty parties, dinners and small events. Most weigh around 9 to 15 g and use modern shapes.
How much does a bridal gold set weigh?
Many bridal sets weigh from about 45 g to well over 100 g, depending on the necklace size and stones. If you want a lighter set, ask for filigree or hollow work in parts that do not take much stress.
Which simple gold set design is best for daily wear?
A small pendant set with matching studs is the most practical. It is light, does not catch on clothes and can be worn under a collar. Plain gold also gets a better exchange value.
Is a moti set design in gold a good choice?
Yes, pearls with gold look soft and suit most ages. Remember that pearls are delicate. Keep them away from perfume and water, and ask for them to be strung or capped firmly.
Should a light weight gold set design be 22k or 18k?
Plain light sets are usually 22k for the warm yellow colour. If the set has many CZ or small stones, 18k is harder and holds them better. 18k also costs less per gram.
Can I make my own matching earrings for an old necklace?
Yes. Take the necklace to a karigar and ask for earrings using the same motif and finish. Ask them to match the karat so the colour is the same, and check the new pieces are hallmarked.
