Jacoje 3.2mm Heavy Link 18k Review
มุมมอง 5K9 หลายเดือนก่อน
So after recording, an associate at men's warehouse said my neck size was 16.5? Maybe my neck size is bigger than 15.5..
Jacoje 4mm Rope vs 3.5mm Franco
มุมมอง 23K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Clarification - I think the 4mm Rope 2 chains betters as the bigger chain where as the 3.5mm Franco dominates the scene (in the current setup that I showcase). I think Franco’s are great 2 chain options, especially when the Franco is the smaller chain. Note - I went back with the calipers to measure different parts of the chain and consistently observed 4mm. Not sure if this is with every batch...
I’m looking at buying a 3mm Franco d/c do you have a comparison to a 3mm rope vs 3mm Franco ?
Really good review. Do you happen to remember how much you paid for the chain before tax? I'd like to buy a chain/necklace for myself but the designer jewelry (Cartier, Van Cleef) is so expensive and you get so little gold.
Idkk bro the stacked francos looks cleaner than stacked with the rope, either way both can be appreciated
Finally, a SOLID review of a chain! I think I’m going to get the 3.2mm HL at 18inches to pair with my 3mm Franco and 5mm Cuban both at 24inches. (I’ve got some layering small pendant chains in between at 20in) I’m excited
Plain Franco 💯 x 💯 🙌
That’s weak
You show some really good shots of the chains
Haha crazy. I have that same watch. My shit is all banged up though. I need to take it and get a refinishing on it.
That heavy link and Franco together looks clean af I’m thinking about getting a Franco myself
Thinking about getting a 2.5 Franco how do you feel about the diff between 2.5 and 3 I already had a 3.2 heavy link and wanted to two chain them
get 3mm if you are used to the 3.2mm heavy link
Where did you sell your other chains? I might sell mine to get this.
@@ganny61 eBay, they take 15% though which isn’t fun
Very nice detailed review! I've had 5 different Francos from 1.2mm up to 5mm, all DC. All of them pulled my hair & got caught up on my clothes. I'm considering a 3.5 - 4mm plain Franco to pair with my 18K 3.2mm Heavy Link, so the larger size will balance out with the killer shine of the smaller Heavy Link.
Nice review again! It’s nice seeing the 3mm Franco and 3.2mm Heavy side by side as those are two of my favourite chains available. I’m still leaning towards the heavy link, but I really appreciate the fact that you’re one of the only reviewers I’ve seen that shoots in 1440p/4K, and it’s made me appreciate the Franco even more. Do you have any thoughts on the Cable Link from Lynx Resale (jacoje’s other company)? A 4mm cable is in a similar weight/cost ballpark and makes me wonder if I’d prefer thicker, gappy links over a thinner, tighter chain (I doubt it, but curious). Also what’s your height/weight? Thanks again :)
Idk I feel like the color difference isn’t noticeable between plain & dc Franco. Even when you put the 14k & 18k up close, the difference was very subtle. I still think dc is much better than plain
Both look really good. Appreciate the review.
great review! welcome back 😎😎😎
Hello. I'm looking forward for your next reviews. Do you think it will pair well a heavy link 3.2 mm with the 3 mm Franco instead of 2.5 mm? I plan to buy the Franco 22 inch 3mm with standard Angel pendant paired with 20 inch, 3.2mm heavy link. I have the same neck size as you. I really appreciate your opinion. Thanks.
Glad to hear it! I just posted another that might help. I think the DC Franco will pair very well with the heavy link, at the same length or at different lengths. If it’s the plain Franco, I think it would look good since you’ll have different lengths. It also gives some variation to the type of chains you’ll have on.
@@cksdigest plain version it's my go to.I'd like something subtle, diamond cut is to sparkly for me.
This is a great video. I like how in depth it is.
Thank you!!
Oh I'm dying for this to be back in stock
I got my 3.5mm Jacoje DC franco and when I use my Calipers it says its 4mm. It even comes out a bit bigger if your not at the narrowest part. About 4.1 like you showed. The peaks of the diamond cut will measure 4.1 and if I get it on the flat parts its 4mm.
You have a video of you showing or unboxing the 3.5MM Franco? Still have that Franco?
Unfortunately not for either! I miss that chain some days
@3:11 the way you describe the light movement on the Diamond cuts is absolutely on point! 💯 🎯 Great way to explain, as I have found NOBODY this far to explain it in that manner! 👍🏼
Thank you so much and I’m glad you agree!!
Out of the 18-20 gold chains I've had, my 18K 3.2mm Jacoje Heavy Link is my favorite & the only chain I have now. This includes chains ranging in size & purity all the way up to 5mm Franco & Heavy Link, & 24K Dragon Scale chains. When it comes to light refraction there's no comparison IMHO.
It’s the shiniest chain I’ve ever experienced
I have the same size & karat heavy link in 24" also 3mm d/c franco 18k I wear the heavy link more but the franco is sweet
Solid review. I recently purchased the 6mm power link in 18k. it's a beast. The links are so well casted and the diamond cut definitely has that crazy shine you're talking about. The only aspect that I am not completely satisfied with is the brightness of the gold. I have other chains and bracelets from different brands in the same link style, karat, and they are very bright vibrant yellow, what 18k looks like, as yours looks like at 2:00. Mine looks more like 14k, slightly muted in color. Lighting also definitely maters as well to bring out the brightness of the gold. I'm debating wearing a pendant on it. Overall I'm still very happy with my purchase.
I bet the 6mm is incredible, with our without a pendant! Yeah that’s what I’m discovering with highly polished flat edge chains, they reflect so much light. Makes me wonder if the same applies to the baby curb.
Great review you touched on all of my concerns 👍🏾
Great review! 👍
Hows the presence of the chain in person?
Such a boss chain 🔥🔥 doesnt need to be bigger to make a statement with the heavy link
After couple years now of having your Jacoje chains ⛓️💥 have they tarnished or faded off???
Awesome review. Have you already sold the watch ? If not I’d love to buy it from you. I regret not buying this piece while it was still on the market.
I’m looking forward to the 18kt 3mm Franco video coming out, been checking to see if it released yet!
Just posted! Sorry for the long wait, ran into all sorts of editing issues
Great video. Although, the rope chain is actually one of the strongest round-linked design. It likely broke due to the links being hollow and not solid or the welds were inadequate.
If you want to keep the heavy link chain shiny and without scratches I wouldn't 2 chain especially with higher purity gold.
Great camera work, thanks for sharing
I just wanted to say I love your videos man. Very informative man. I like the 18k chains you have especially the Franco’s. I think if you keep doing these videos it’ll attract more people
Thank you!!
I have 3 Franco’s 2 18k & one 22k. Franco is king even after watching. It holds the color & shine so much better than everything I seen
You have the beginnings of a great channel.
Thank you bro, comments like this are extremely motivating
Great fit on you!
sexi watch
I have a 18kt 3mm Franco from Hawaiiropechains, the color is unreal!
It’s perfect!
I got rid of my 4mm Franco because I felt like it was too much for me as a daily wear. Somehow I ended up two chaining 3.5mm Franco’s 😂
Hahaha I hear that, I could def two chain 3mm Franco’s
How’s it too much? That’s perfect size.
@@BlackPanther1SS I had a 4mm 24” and I just couldn’t wear it often comfortably. I feel the 3.5mm @ 20” is perfect for me 🙏🏼
@@itsjustiz 24in is too big bro lol
Two chaining 3.5 franco is like 80g around your neck? That's comfortable in all everyday situations? Asking because I'm interested in Two chaining a 3mm franco and a 3.5 franco that i rarely take off just not sure of the total weight of them and with returns not being easy i don't want to make a mistake going with the 3.5 when I could Two chain 3mm franco and I know weight wouldn't be a issue, just interested in the 3.5 because the size of it allows to appreciate the design of the franco, happy with the 3mm but it was smaller than I expected but good enough
This is perhaps the best review I’ve seen of this chain. Very objective and clear statements with good b roll. You touched on a lot of good points and reasons that I like this chain over other options and demonstrated it well, particularly with how this chain “flashes” while other chains like ropes “twinkle”. I’d totally watch comparisons to other pieces you have :)
Thank you man, I appreciate it. I’m particular with my stuff so it’s good to know I’m not the only one walking around thinking about chains lol. Twinkle versus flash!! You summed it up perfectly, if I use that in future videos I’ll credit you. Def stay tuned, will have some more coming out
@@cksdigest No problem! You're definitely not alone! For me, I bought my first gold item last year (a ring) and since then I've been wanting matching pieces. I looked at a ton of options, and decided that despite the cost, I'd love a solid piece that will last a lifetime (hopefully). I'm usually very frugal, so to "earn" the necklace, I'm using it as my reward if I start going to the gym and go at least 3 times per week until the end of the year. The heavy link just caught my eye in a way that ropes and other chains simply can't, and now I think about it every time I work out haha. It just the right amount of flashiness without looking tacky, and this video is really helping to sell me on it further (especially with the HD video quality).
@@justblayne4533glad to hear it! That’s a great perspective, to earn it. So when I had this chain, I wore it in the gym a few times and those were the moments where I didn’t want to sell it. It was tucked in but popped so much…it was so noticeable. Very enjoyable.
Your reviews are really good. The one with the rope and Franco comparison had perfect info. I have this 3.2 in WG and you’re right about the presence even when tucked it. It’s a really cool chain imo
Thank you! I’m trying to get better at providing both the data and b rolls to support. I’ve considered the WG variant, the heavy link might look the best in WG
@@cksdigest I’ve had the heavy gold in yellow and because of that major shine and presence on the flat surfaces, it felt super loud for my particular taste for a daily wear. I haven’t taken my WG since I got it. Just waiting for him to send me a boss cross to match.
@@el_heff4272that will look 🔥 WG is so noticeable yet sleek and reserved, you have the right idea
Nice chain
Bro I got a 3 18k Franco from jacojie and a 4m dc for saints gold 18k. Both look exactly the same. How much darker is 18k than 14? It feel almost similar with these chains. I don’t notice much until 22k. I also have a 22k Franco. Check my channel out
Will do, nice setup too. 18k at least for Franco was a big difference for me but it’s hard to tell with the diamond cuts refracting so much light. It’s more apparent with the plain. I’ve never had the 18k rope but Braden says it’s not much different
The both look really good! What’s the length? We’re about the same build except I’m about 168lbs. I’m thinking of buying 18k 3.5mm Franco in 20 inch and add a standard sized pendant as my daily solitaire chain. Do you also know the difference between diamond cut and plain? I appreciate the review
They were both 22”, that sounds like a good set up. The dc is pretty sparkly while the plain has a shine similar to the Miami Cuban. I love the way the plain showcases 18k, I have a 3mm plain now
up load more bro
Just posted a review of the 3.2 heavy link!
5mm DC 18k 26” Franco (Jacoje) all day every day (and night). Mine is currently in the mail. 🇨🇦 This video just making me itch even more! I pawned my every day a couple years ago and have regretted it ever since. 😒 It’s been important for me to get THE perfect chain as I plan to wear this for pretty much the rest of my life. Weird I know. 🥳 It’s a personal thing. Appreciate the vid. 🤘
Glad you enjoyed it, it’s important to find the perfect chain and wear it everyday. The bond grows stronger as the years pass 🙌🏼
I actually see fewer rope chains than anything else. Everyone has cubans these days - white (I can tell most of them are silver too lol) and yellow - and miscellaneous other links. I don’t see too too many ropes, at least where I’m from, which was my big draw to the 3mm rope. But totally agreed, don’t see too many Francos either
That’s a good point, it depends on the location and access to different chain styles
if you make the rope a 18” or 20” it will look better when you 2chain it
