It's the first week of February again. Usually, in the time of faded winter, people get busy submitting the tax proofs. But this year, scenes are a bit different. With talk around the Union Budget growing louder, there's extra buzz in the air. Jewellers and bullion traders are especially alert, as gold prices and buying trends could change and affect the market.

While stock market investors plan their moves, most of us just wonder—will gold get expensive by next week? But spending a lakh on a heavy wedding set isn’t practical for everyone. While also skipping gold jewellery from its budget also doesn't make sense. The smarter choice is now to go with the lightweight gold. Small 5–8 gram pieces are affordable, easy to wear, and still give you the benefit of investing in gold without putting pressure on your budget.
Here are five lightweight chains that perfectly balance between the budget and everyday elegance.
1. Tanishq 22 Carat Gold Chain:
Look at this product that I found on Google.com
If you don't like chains that twist or tangle, this is going to be your style. It looks smooth and sleek, almost like a solid line of gold. Its firmly linked design gives it a clean and elegant look.

It's one of the most office-friendly chains, as it also gives a classy and confident look with even a plain white shirt, and even for receptions and cocktail events.
2. 22k Gold Sleek Modern Chic Chain:
You’ve probably seen this all over Instagram. The paperclip chain looks bold but uses less gold because of its long links, perfect for value buyers. More than the weight, we always keep an eye on the look. In the case of the paperclip chain, it gives more space, which makes it look bigger and more stylish without paying heavy bills for gold.
3. Joyalukkas Fine Gold Curb Chain:
Gold is soft, and delicate chains can break easily. The curb/box chain is your safest choice if you never take off your jewellery—while showering, sleeping, or even at the gym. Its geometric design makes it strong and unisex. Perfect for daily wear or layering with longer chains on mehendi or haldi days.
4. Jos Alukkas Trendy Gold Chain:
Looking for something shiny but don’t want to spend on diamonds? The Singapore chain is the best option you can go with. Its twisted, diamond-cut links catch the light from every angle, so it sparkles beautifully even though it’s very light. You will shine brighter even without spending much money.
5. BlueStone Women's Mangalsutra Chain:
For brides or newlyweds, a modern mangalsutra-inspired chain adds tradition with a lightweight contemporary feel. The small black beads and delicate gold links keep it comfortable all day long. Instead of links, it’s made of tiny laser-cut gold beads. The cuts catch light like a gemstone, making it sparkle like a diamond necklace and perfect for daily wear along with a Kurti or a blazer. Even, it can be a good replacement for a traditional mangalsutra chain.
