Frequently asked questions

What is a mariner (Capezzina) chain?
A mariner chain features oval links with a central bar across each link, suggesting nautical anchor chain. "Capezzina" is the Italian name for this style. It is one of the more distinctive Italian gold chain styles, suited to buyers who want recognisable detail without bulk.

9ct or 18ct — which should I choose?
9ct gold (37.5% gold) is more affordable and harder-wearing. 18ct gold (75% gold) has a richer, deeper colour. White gold is rhodium-plated for a cool silver-grey tone; yellow gold shows the natural gold colour.

Is the chain solid gold?
Yes. Solid gold throughout, hallmarked 375 (9ct) or 750 (18ct). Not plated or filled.

What is the warranty?
Every Lucano piece is backed by a lifetime craftsmanship warranty. Free shipping Australia-wide.

Where is Lucano jewellery made?
Every Lucano piece is hand-made in our Byron Bay Hinterland studio by Australian goldsmiths. Our founder is a member of St Eligio, Università e Nobil Collegio degli Orefici jewellery association established in Rome in 1508, and that lineage informs every angle and finish.
What's the difference between 9ct and 18ct gold?
9ct gold contains 37.5% pure gold; 18ct contains 75%. 18ct has a richer warm colour and higher gold value, while 9ct is harder and more durable for everyday wear. Both are solid gold, not plated, and both are RJC-certified at Lucano.
Where do you source your gold?
We source exclusively from ABC Refinery, Australia's only independent refiner with simultaneous LBMA, SGE, and CME Group COMEX accreditation. Our entire supply chain meets Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC) standards for human rights, labour, and environmental practice.
How long does a Lucano piece take to make?
Each piece is hand-made to order. Typical production is 6 to 8 weeks, and you can see your specific timeline directly on each product page.
How do I care for my gold piece?
Store in the original pouch to prevent scratches. Avoid contact with chlorine, perfume, and harsh detergents. Clean gently with warm water and a soft cloth. We offer complimentary polishing as part of our lifetime warranty.
