I'm not sure getting it appraised is necessary unless it's a high end company like Tiffany. Regular chains are generally worth melt (gold) value when you sell it.

If the .4 really is troy oz then it's about 12.4 grams. If the scale is regular ozs
(not sure of the technical term but the same ozs used for cereal etc) then it's about 11.5 grams.

If its 11.5 grams then it's about 8.6 grams of pure gold. 8.6 divided by 31.1 equals .277 Troy oz. .277 times $1590 equals about $440 real value.

Appraisals tend to be inflated and for insurance purposes.

Heck of a find
