Of course it looks bigger for two reasons: 1. The chain is not round, but square. That means that the length from one side to another side is 3.5mm, BUT if you measure the length from one CORNER to another CORNER, it will be greater than 3.5. That is the pythagorean theorem. It occurs with all squares. 2.It has a width as opposed to the flat curb, so it appears thicker than the flat curb
Dope byzantine, i have a 14k 24" Figaro, 14k 26" square franco and om about to go get a 14k 26" 68gram byzantine thos weekend im stoked, im already loving my new franco, I get compliments on It all the time at work, i dont where my chains at my other job as im an automobile mechanic
I brought the 8mm 30inch it is so so heavy guys & massive to you need to be packin heat when dressing up with that BAD BWOY an I'm 47 & YA STILL GOTTA LOOK OG✌️🤪
Hey Martin, I saw your review for the 2mm byzantine. I am interested in pairing a byzantine chain with a 3mm franco. Would you recommend the 2mm or 2.5mm? I don't want the byzantine to overshadow the franco just to compliment it. Thanks
Definitely the 2.5,the 2mm.is super small i gave it to my daughter, its not a man's chain at all,but the 2.5 mm byzantine is perfect.it will not overshadow the franco not at all they will look great togeather.
@@TheTriedTruth I really appreciate the feed back. Thanks again. I have been shopping around for byzantine chains. I tend to look for mm thickness and weight. I was comparing jacoje with saintsgold. Jacoje's 2.5mm byzantine at approx 16 grams is similar to saints gold 2mm byzantine at also approx 16 grams. Not sure how this can be? Unless either company has slightly higher or lower guages that are called 2mm. Thanks again
@@TheTriedTruth glad to hear that. I literally just ordered the 2.5 byzantine 22 in about an hour ago and wanting to pair it with a 3mm hermes 24 in (heavy link) hopefully in the next 6 months or so.
Dam bro you are killing the jewelry game!!! I wanted to ask you Flat curb or rope?? I’m planning on getting one of those does the flat curb turn a lot or does it lay flat?
You are going to want to get both. The flat curb will lay flat in a casual setting,but when you are active like working or exercising it will flip especially at 22 inches.
Michael Hall thanks Michael for your response I had a rope chain but I have a beard and I would hate when the diamond cuts would get caught on my beard it feels like it pulls the hair out that’s why I’m looking into getting a flat curb they look so smooth and shiny I freaking love the ropes
Do you think the 3mm’s links are as visible as the 3.5mm from a 6ft distance? The jump from 3m to 3.5mm is about $1000 difference, do you think it’s worth it to just stay at the 3m?
Iam ordering this tomorrow 14k 3.5mm 24 inch, it looks amazinggg, so unique and that 14k yellow color really pops , i have a couple questions: how does it feel on the neck , bare skin? Is it smooth? Non scratch? Does it get caught up with the clothes? How durable and strong would you say this style is to wear in a daily basis? And how easy is yo clean it up? How is it holding up as today? I have been doing a big research before i make my first purchase from JACOJE and the contenders i have, i narrowed it down to this style at 3.5mm, the 3mm franco diamond cut and the 7mm flat curb i believe that this one take the cake, more weight, beautiful 14 yellow deep rich color, very elegant and unique. Thx in advance for your reply🙌 peace out keep it rocking🙌
The byzantine is an awesome style chain,everyone loves it,and yes the color is very rich. extremely durable and will last a lifetime you could tow a car with it.
To be honest that's the only reason why I like it... I've outgrown 14 karat Yellow Gold because the color is just not yellow enough for me. Byzantine is the only 14 karat chain that has a decent Yellow... Still not quite like my 22 karat Coin pendant but closer than the average 14 karat Gold chain.
I have a quick question I got the 4.6mm 95.9 byzantine from jacoje and always questioned if I should've got the franco but you sold your frsnco for the byzantine so my question is you still prefer the byzantine over the franco
Honestly I like them both equally but if I ever get another Franco it will be the five mmmm but my next chain is going to be the baby curb jacoje curb 5.5 mm and I think that's where my journey is taking me and the reason I know that is how much I love my 5.5 mm flat curb so I'm pretty certain that the baby curb will be my final destination with chains but I do love my Byzantine I felt like the 4 mm Franco was too small for my taste my 6 mm rope had a funny look because of how chunky it was but I did like the size it just had a Kind of a Funny look almost like I was wearing lace around my neck it kind of looked feminine in a weird way hard to explain but I'll tell you this much that 5.5 mm jacoje baby curb is going to be my favorite of all time I should be copping that next week
I know Braden doesn’t care much about the Byzantine but I feel the Byzantine is a popular chain in Michigan especially metro Detroit area. I always told myself….one day!
They are very nice chains,let me recommend a great look ...the 3mm byzantine at 20 inches is a tailored compliment magnet and perfect accessory to a polo t just an overall killer chain and really affordable.
@@TheTriedTruth I’m going to take your word on that. I recently bought a 20 inch heavy link and fell in love with shorter elegance that the 20” bring. It’s like you don’t want to flex 💪 but you really do in a classy way
@@Forwardever. I liked it alot but wanted a 4mm and still haven't got one yet,I just ordered a 20 inch 6.5mm rope 14k from jacoje today,I was going to get the 4mm 20 inch byzantine or the 8mm 20 inch figaro.
@@Forwardever. the franco is the best pendant chain,the byzantine is a nice solo chain because of its complexity and design and steals the show from the pendant,the heavy link would come in second out of those 3 however I'd keep the heavy link no larger than a 4mm for a pendant.
The Byzantine chain is the ONLY chain that Jacoje has that has a very good Yellow for a 14 karat Gold chain. Most 14 karat gold chains have that disgusting washed out Yellow color...
It's not just byzantine. I have a 14k italian cuban from jacoje that has a really rich gold color, but the 14kt franco I got from jacoje is pretty pale. I think he gets stuff from a lot of different manufacturers and they all make 14kt different.
"i can't.. get over it, uhh" ... my words exactly lol why am I obsessed with gold so much now
Damn man! Swimmin in gold!!! Lovin it!!! 🔥 Keep up the great vids! Smash!!!
Always got the drip bro RESPECT 💧💯
Love that Byzantine looks super!
Thanks for the great post man... 💕
that byzantine is hitting hard my guy!!! straight flexing
Beautiful chain bro I might have to buy me one.That looks like a thick chain very nice..
That's nice! I'd love to own one!

Take that ruler again and if I'm not wrong, you should be able to get 4.94mm measuring from the corners.
@@CJ-le3gq thanks for the info that makes alot of since,I am going to get a mic for more accurate measurements in the future.

Nice new camera quality :)
Hey brotha can you please do a review with all your Jacoje gold, would be dope!
Lightning fast shipping. Love my chain. And thanks for reppin for the over 40 club.
How long did the shipping take?
@@_Theo215 I think jacoje is in Cali or Nevada. I’m in s Carolina. East coast. It was here in three days.
@@gotnokush bet bet. I live in Atlanta but I’m from Philly. I’m going to get it shipped to Philly.

It would have to be a large pendant.
This is a very stand alone chain.

@@TheTriedTruth where did you sale your Franco chain?
@@boomerak4774 The TV show,HARDCORE PAWN IN DETROIT
Appreciate you. I'm thinking about selling mine I have a 3mm 22 inch from jacoje. That heavy link hit different very nice chain of yours
nice!
How many chasing and everything else you have I’m try to catch up big hommi
Love your videos my guy! Bought my 4mm Franco 20" because of you. Now I'm addicted! Keep it up!
Thats money right there I would love to see a review video on your chain.
Do you think the 3.5mm byzantine will pair good with a 3mm franco?
Perfectly
Thanks for the reply. I'm gonna order one today 3.5mm byzantine you really inspired me to get one. I can tell you really love that chain
Work hard and earn stuff to buy the things you want, the worlds yours
Do you think that the 2.5 would look like a 3.0?
Absolutely 💯
Hey bud. Did you say you created a resale Jacoje page on Facebook or something??
Not a jacoje resale group
A Facebook group where members can post items they wish to sell
It's called

How’s that 5.5 flat curb treatin ya?
Loving it
Just subscribed brother,
That Byzantine has been on my list of chains to get from Jacoje. After watching this I might get the 3.5mm

This guy has bought and made so many videos from Jacoje Braden should give him a discount or some PayPal cash for being a loyal customer
Awesome video thanks for sharing. Where do you live?
Michigan
That shirt
The byzantine weighs like a Cuban
how many grams is that? How much paid for it?
All the prices and length ,weight ,and gold karat are on jacoje.com
My rope looks way more yelow than my franco too both from jacoje
You have 14k rope or 18k?
14
How much did you get paid to say this?
My satisfied customer reviews are honest and free .
I do it for the consumers.
He probably gave u 4mm on accident instead of a 3.5mm
They run a little bigger.
Are you interested in selling the Byzantine?
Been gone!
@@TheTriedTruth what didn’t you like about it? Want to get one to go with a good size pendant?
