Depends on where you are going but Florence and Vicenza are good places to look. Just remember, right off the bat they will get you for a 22% VAT tax on a purchase over $150 but you will get that back. Most everything you will find over there is also 18k so prices will be reflective of that. Have a basic idea of what gold is trading for and what you want to pay per gram. If you can communicate to them that you know what you are talking about (understanding labor costs and price per gram) they will usually negotiate.
With gold where it is at and Italian gold making being some what of standard don't expect smoking deals.

I lived in Sicily for a few years and the prices were relatively close/the same as back home (U.S.)... I will say, I did find a few decent prices in Catania, as it's more of a working city and lots going on.
I traveled the island a lot in the few years I was there, the touristy areas were more on the expensive side, like Taormina, Palermo, etc.. I did pick up a chain and bracelet when I visited a city called Lentini, on the south east part of Sicily.
Rome, Naples & Milan were about average priced, no crazy deals that I saw.

Looking to buy a chain for a pendant i have but I'm kinda torn on how heavy it should be, the pendant is 45 grams and the previous chain it was on was a 98 gram 6mm 22" rope and the size was getting annoying after having it as a daily. I want to do a 4mm rounded box link at 54 grams but I'm worried the pendant might stretch the chain or break it. Just looking for some input here befor I drop 7 or 8k and potentially regret it.

Question - on a cuban combo should the bracelet be the same size as the chain? Bigger? Smaller? Wht yall think?

I always thought generally larger. Could do same size when dealing with larger sizes 14/16mm+. But never smaller. Just from my visual experience
