Is making a necklace mixed with gold considered from the category of gold jewelry?

The questioner : O our Shaykh, regarding the issue of gold, after we heard the hadiths that you cited in "Etiquettes of the Wedding" concerning gold jewelry and the prohibition that came in it, we have taken a lesson, and praise be to Allah, and we sold the gold bracelets and similar jewelry. So we brought "Rashad" (Rashad Asmali) these dinars, which are placed in a cloth and have rings. If it is connected to the neck to the extent that... is this considered gold jewelry?

The Shaykh : The important thing is that the necklace is less than gold.

The questioner : The necklace is less than gold.

The Shaykh : Less than gold; such that it is not correct to say: a necklace of gold.

The questioner : It means... if the necklace has extra gold that we put on it, such that the necklace is more cloth than gold...

The Shaykh : Yes, but it is not a matter of deception; because the necklace is usually lengthened, it might be lengthened to here and come to tens of pounds, but the necklace is usually placed at the chest.

The questioner : Here, yes, yes.

The Shaykh : Ah, so if the woman, for example, puts one pound in the middle, and two around it, and the rest is all cloth or... the situation is fine, but deception is known in the Shari'ah to be forbidden; meaning the person should not be making an effort to deceive.

The questioner : Meaning we measure the distance and try to focus on this issue; so that we do not fall into...

The Shaykh: Yes.
