Most jewelers trade 10k gold at $30 per gram, so find out how much yours weighs and compare it to see if it is a good deal. They also factor in whether it is custom made or factory made. From the looks of that chain it should be factory made, although the color of that chain is quite bronze-ish, might just be the lighting. Real 10k gold still shines and has a nice yellow gold tone to it still.

I would say from the price you got a pretty darn good deal if it is actual 10k solid gold (since department stores usually wouldn't under-karat you), considering most rope chains should weigh atleast 20grams.

However, you might have accidentally bought one that was plated, which was why they could have sold it for such a discount.
