Ive bought 4 chains from Sarraf over the past 10 years. Great company. I like Jacoje stuff better, but I bought my first gold chain from Sarraf so it has a special place in my heart.
What makes Jacoje stuff better? Genuinely curious as I’m debating between which place to order from. I want a quality piece but I don’t want to spend more money for relatively the same thing.
Your chain is beautiful Melissa. I love Figaro chains too! They look so classy without being tacky! There is no better or worse as it is nice to have options and keep interchanging with your other pendants when you feel like it. I always pick one of my pendants, depending on my mood and then I pick a chain and that is my necklace of the day! You have excellent taste in jewelry! Enjoy!!!
Just make sure the pendant is not heavier than the chain or the chain can break very quickly. It should be the minimum 1 : 1 weight ratio or a heavier chain but not a heavier pendant.
@@sheritee7328I did a platinum figaro with a heavier white gold pendent (say half oz platinum chain and almost one oz pendent) for years as a young man, and no problems. I almost perfectly timed selling that chain when platinum was $2,000, but when I bought it platinum and gold were cheap (2000). Gold used to cost $300, now it is $2,000. Platinum would bounce between $300-$600. Now it is $900. Palladium is the odd one. It was $100 for years, and now it is $1150. Good white gold is made with palladium. It’s increased cost drives the higher price of white gold. The nasty nickel white gold requires rhodium plating. Avoid that. The plated yellow gold is just plain trashy.
I just got 6mm 18k figaro. But since I’ve been seeing your videos about your 22k heavy link I kinda want that now😂. I have a 4mm and a 5mm 14k figaro but I’m really liking higher purity color now.
I have purchased multiple items from Sarraf over the years. I live in CA and they have their store on downtown L.A omg! The amount of jewelry they have is scary! Literally you go up to the 3rd floor and are buzzed in. They have great selection and customer service in my opinion
18k is fine for everybody save for wild young men. They are different. For everyone else, 18k is fine. The only exception is white gold. There is no difference in look between 14k and 18k cast nickel-free white gold.
I purchased 6mm 18k figaro from Sarraf and the weight was exactly as advertised… not to mention I had a return with them as well before settling on this piece. Would not hesitate to purchase from them again.
Some of the close ups are blurry but I’ll post some shorts

@@Libertas.Aeterna1776jacoje has a made in Italy stamp on all their pieces and they’re heavier on gram weight
@@Libertas.Aeterna1776they’re also more yellow usually than other jewelers
love the figaro, trying to find one in platinum with a matching bracelet now

Rock that high purity! But nice fig!
So have you tested the purity of the gold to see if its accurate of what they are givingdo a gold test video please
Hello! I saw one of your vids about spicebomb extreme and I would like to buy it but is it safe to blind buy?

Thank you for this review! I've been looking at a 14kt Figaro from them. How has it held up? Also the cross looks fantastic on it!
It’s been holding up great!
Figaro with cross always pair up nice 👍. Still don’t own any 18kt chains. Really nice look with both
Thank you!
Hey I’m thinking about getting a solid 14 karat gold rope chain 20 inch or should I go 24 inch rope chain what are your thoughts on it
Depends on the size of your neck. If you want it higher up then get the 20
Nice chain love the video Melissa stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
Thanks Antwain
I heard good and bad things of this site. Did you ever get it tested is it authentic solidly?
I didn’t get it tested but I ordered an 18k flat from them and returned it immediately because the color looked 14k. I got a vid on here about it
@@melissanacional9662 also just watched your video thanks!
@@melissanacional9662 would you happen to remember about how long it took to arrive when you ordered it? Thank you
2-3 days
Thanks for the video! I’m thinking about ordering a bracelet, I hope I love it 🤞
I returned this one but let me know how you like the bracelet!
@@melissanacional9662any reason you ended up returning it? Or just wasn’t feelin it anymore hah
Nice vid. I think I’m gonna cop one from HRC
Is it hollow or semi hollow seems kinda light for its size

Have you ever smelled Bharara King?
I finally ordered a jacoje rope chain 💯
Nice! Let me know how you like it!
I don't know everything o got from this place was way under the grams and the customer service is not that great
