The reservations about gold chains really depends on where you live and how you wear it. Some kingdoms are pretty strict about it. Others are much looser.
I've seen some beautiful chains of office here, used both literally as chains of office (my shire has such to go with its officers robes) and as handy places to hang any tokens (awards, personal heraldry, etc.). Maybe you can adapt use of the gold chain. Gold chains on Crannach gowns don't tweak anyone here--they are obviously part of the wardrobe.
