I love this channel. There is no channel that is this helpful when it comes to buying chains. I also love the prices of jewelry on the website.
+will godfrey Thank you! That means a lot.
i know I am pretty off topic but does anyone know a good site to stream new series online?
@Crew Axl Lately I have been using FlixZone. You can find it by googling :)
@Zane Dexter yea, I've been using flixzone for since april myself :)
@Zane Dexter Thank you, I signed up and it seems like a nice service :) I appreciate it !!
Having grown up my whole life in the Middle East around all kinds of gold, 18k is plenty rugged and strong. Never had an issue with 18k jewelers my whole life. 14k is nothing but a BS scheme to sell you watered down gold. 14k gold here in the Middle East is not even considered gold. Must be marked as costume jewelry. Buy 18k…the perfect balance between beauty and durability. Trust me!!
I bet you couldn't tell the difference if I showed you a 10k rope chain and a 18k one. Non of my friends can.
@@wooferjr169 what???. 10k gold looks like a washed up yellow while 18k is an intense yellow. Not sure what 18k gold you’ve been looking at lol
@@wooferjr169 bruv, anyone can tell the difference between 10k and 18k lmao 10k isn't even considered gold in the US...you're friends are either stupid or don't wanna disappoint you.
@@wooferjr169 none of your friends knoiw shit thats why
@@wooferjr169 ur 18k aint 18k bruh 😂
I've learnt so much about gold and jewelry through your channel. You're a champion 😎
For real, ima drop 2,300 on this guy because of these videos and he doesn't even know it =)
@@Guitarsnspraycans same! Wanted to place an order but I'm in the UK. Would have to pay customs and tax to have it shipped over damn it
Another great video. Your description of the differences in 14k & 18k is spot on. I’ve always thought that 18k looks buttery and rich.
I'ma be buying all of my jewelry from you man. You're very knowledgable, thanks for all the great content.
+Bruce Tyson thank you!
JACOJE LYNX do you except credit cards??
Crazy Villarruel no only rupees lol jk
Only Built 4 Cuban Linx buy from me I can beat his price by 8 a gram less with beautiful quality. That’s a big difference if you buy heavy pieces
Chris M. And who are you? Do you have a website or anything?
Here callao peru. All we wear is 18k. Lot people wear 18k chains, teeth. Sorry if english bad
Crazy Sob here in the middle east we only wear 20k gold and up
Ahmad Raza i know. 20-24 karat right?
Crazy Sob yeah
well in Mississippi...we ®o©k 10k🙄😁😂
They wear 20kt but the jewelry is not exceptional mostly stamped gold boring.
Every time I watch a JACOJE video, I always hear the intro as:
"What up it's Brainwitch Coje"
lol, love the videos man thank you for all the helpful information.
I have a vintage 18k Figgaro neclace and pendant and it's beautiful , it's very slightly banged up but being 30 years old im very very Happy with it , I'd love to even get 22k or 24k pieces too
Rob Peters where did you get the 18k figaro at ? I’m hunting for one lol
any review for 22k gold? how durable is it?
I’m a mechanic wearing 2 necklaces of 14k every day, my job is dirty plus I go to the gym every night . I’m washing them with toothpaste every day, 14k is the best option to me they stay like new from years
18K isn't ideal every day wear IMO, unless you're extremely careful/inactive. 14K hits a sweet spot of color, price, and durability. Will the 18K Francos be up on the site in the future?
+Barbarous Relic I agree and yes they will. Give me about 2 weeks
what about 15k?
do a video of 22 karat gold n show the difference s in jewellery colour 18k 22k
Bought a chain from you four years ago…still going strong💪🤙
I love 18K but 14K is the lowest ill go because then it loses its gold color and its harder to refine.
Do a diamond cut VS no cut video
Your Favorite a VS stone ? Why not a IF or F stone lol i wanna see flawless stones !!!
Gutsy209 G I'm referring to diamond cut on a chain versus regular cut
I work in construction doing electrical i have come to learn that 10 karat is best on my hands i have a 10kt mariner chain but want to move up to a 14k chain i will buy from u when time is right thanks for your great videos!!
+derek rodano I agree with that. I did a 10kt video which I'll upload sometime next week talking about the benefits of 10kt. More durable and it works for a lot of people because of that.
My rings are 10k bracelets are 14k and chains are 14k and one 18k
18k almost has a rose gold tint imo. I can’t explain it. Just really dark not just yellow.
so which one you think looks better
18k is more buttery and yellow less dull looking
which one is the 18k?
14K and 18K looks the same to me. I had 24K chain no issue everyday wearing
In person the difference stands out. I have 14k gold chains and bought an 18k bracelet and the chains are lighter/a pale gold in comparison
Which one is the 14k 😂
On the left
they look the same
Hey Jacoje Ur Quality Is Great And U Make Amazing Chain Reviews But I Want To Know....What Is The Chain Best To Start Off With And Has A Good Price Like A 1.5 2 3 mm
I prefer higher karat because of the energy of gold
This is a great channel. Your videos are so informative. I keep learning so much from you!
Does sweat affect the gold like example 14k gold if i train
pb1090 not at all. It might look dirty and dull because of the sweat but just wash it and it’ll look right again
No. But if you don’t want it to get all grimey just take it off. If not just clean it.
Just clean your jewelry once a week at least
Someone broke into my house and stole my 18 karat gold Cuban Link chain. Some bumb probably wearing it right now breaks my heart
yeah but deep down inside he knows hes a piece of shit so just do you and save for a nicer one!! :-)
House insurance?! I got my stuff stolen too and I'm dealing with the company now to hopefully get my money back
What about 22k gold. Will i have to be more extra careful because it will be softer than 18k gold because of the purity?
You answered questions I didn’t even think to ask! Helpful video
We usually wear 22 karat gold jewellery, but there are some less wearable but mandatory to have designs. Hence I was thinking to make this time in 18k.
I want to know does it change color over time ? And how does large designs come out in 18k vs 22k ? Because anyways getting any Indian heritage jewellery made is a huge investment and I wanna save some bucks from being dead money
I want 18k but I'm scared now you said it's so soft
Kanye West don’t worry! The softness of 18k is very much overestimated. It’s true that 14k will be MUCH harder to deform, but 18k has very high tensile strength, (meaning it is also very hard to deform) 18k is actually about 2-3 times harder than sterling silver (softest allowable jewellery metal) and sterling tends to hold up fine.
It's not that soft I have seen link chains that hold up very well and you cannot clean those 18k and up chains and rings with most jewelry cleaners , and usually it just take mild soap and water and wipe dry quickly to clean it.
@@argentummoonjewellery3503 yeah 18k is very good for chains ,not the best for setting stones in ,but for standard link and rope chains it's very good and looks deeply rich and is healthy because some people are allergic to alloys in some 14k , no one allergic to gold but some people can be allergic to the alloys used in some gold even 14k , that's how come many Indian people, especially women wear 18k to 24k only.
@@argentummoonjewellery3503 is 18k gold bad to wear a decently thick ring everyday? I’m nervous because people keep saying it’s too soft
@@tyler116 no. 18K is very tough. Most suppliers usually make 18K with a hardness of 100-155 Vickers and 14K at 130-145.
So 14K is usually a little harder (and can be much harder, but such alloys usually have terrible working properties and are prone to cracking. Jewellers don’t use them), but 18K can actually be harder then some 14K alloys.
If you go to a family jeweller, he should be able to do a custom allow for you or at least help you choose the hardest alloy.
what is differences between 18k white gold and 9k white gold?.. should i go for 18k because i can get higher price if i want to sell it. or should i buy 9k because of its durability but 9k white gold would become dull over the year and even blackish in colour not white anymore. any suggestion from you?
I am just an office guy, and I would like to get an 18K masons ring. Could I wear that everyday in my office environment and it survive?
i like you bro ,you speak with honesty
I’ll add a comment just to show my support but good videos bro straight to the point and clear keep up the good work 👍🏼
in asia no one deal with 14k or 18k, its either 22k or 24k or don't buy at all
Yes!!! The only 22k you can find in the US is antique jewelry... 14 18k isn't even worth it at all!!!!
How come?
@@prittyugly86 lol makes no sense you still get the value of the pure gold in it smh if you have a 44 gram 18k bracelet there is 33 grams of 24k gold in it so your selling the value of the 33 grams… just a little lesson for ya
@@prittyugly86 also I know several wholesale jewelers who sell 24k jewelry..
I’ve been getting more interested in gold Cuban chains and your videos are informational and helpful so thank you. I have a weird question because I’m so curious when I see celebrities rocking gold chains, I wonder if they’re 14k or 18k or even 22k. As an expert, what would you say they are,
from your experience?
Referring to the celebs like LeBron, OBJ,
Future, etc
Hi, I have a question, I’m thinking of purchasing the Jesus piece, if I have a chain that’s 14k should I cop the 14k piece? I’m interested in the 18k one.
Thanks
I’m sure it’s the camera lol but they look the same to me just mild! More yellow I mean barely
Very helpful! Recommendation for a women's engagement ring?
What about 22ct I have numerous pieces at 22ct they have a nice colour and weight to them but ring tend to be soft shape to finger easily
Very insightful. Thanks for the good info!
I am looking for a 14mm wide and 8.5 long men bracelets in 14 k solid. About 50 grams
Will a 18k pendent look too dark with a 14k chain? I want to buy the 1mm Franco chain from your page but I wanna make sure that the yellow of the chain and pendant aren’t too far off from each other
I got a 14k gold franco its way darker than my other 10k franco but I wear them everyday and shower with them and they never broke me out cuz im allergic to fake jewelry I will get a rash on the area I was wearing It on. But I said all that to say my 14k chain has that darker 18k look and I was just curious as to why that would be. Its interesting.
You need to clean it that’s tarnish lol
14k is on left 18k on right
Weight difference in 18 kt and 14kt is also more
Jacoje can you please make some herringbone chains
I came across your channel and love all the useful info. I will look for a video on this topic on your channel, but just in case, I have a question.
When buying gold, platinum, etc., how trustworthy is the metal stamp? Is there some law regulating that only certain pieces can carry that '10K', '14K' stamp, or is it an arbitrary thing that can be added to any piece? And, does this mean that even if it's gold plated, it can still carry the stamp, or is it only allowed on solid gold pieces?
what about girls/women vids?!? love the smash! the luxe retailers, 18K is standard - in the East many wear 24K, I have a necklace I bought in Turkish market (they trade gold too, you would love it) and it's like a marshmallow, way too soft....
How much that 18k one worth?
Should do 18k yellow gold option on some more of your chains on ur website I'll be keen to purchase a 1.5mm 18k gold rope
Will be very soon
please be honest, 24k isnt too soft, it is less profit for seller, I sell 24k chains and I'm bombarded daily with it's too soft , I have .9999 chain I've had someone try to RIP off my neck didnt budge, it's a lie it is all about profit, buy 24k and be done with it. get what you pay for. every one sells 10 12 14 18k for same money as 24k, your giving up your money
When I see 18k I automatically assume it's plated it's way 2 yellow looks like shit
My mother got an 18k gold chain with sapphires from my grandparents old jewelry melted down and people always call it fake
In china everyone only ever wears 24k pure gold. Unless they are wanting white or rose gold then it will be 18k. 14k or any thing below 18k is practically none existence. I have 3 24k chains. 14k and 10k just dont look right its too light. but with that said 24kt break so easily i broke 2 of my 3 chains once oready. I just find that under the son 14k and 10k gold look like white gold cos it dont have that rich yellow color anymore
+MaximaJ31 yeah it has its pros and cons
India is the 2nd Highest Gold consumer after China. In here 22K Gold (91.7%) is very popular for making Jewelry. The sellers don't mention of 18K Gold because it's less expensive and Less attractive than 22K Gold. But 18K Gold is more durable than 22K.
MaximaJ31 u just said u broke ur shit i rather have a nice 14k gold and have it for the rest of my life than having a solid gold 24k and have it break
Can You Do A Comparison Of Say 20 Plus Years Old Gold Vs New Or Fake 18K
Would it matter if the chain is a really short one, like a 18”, would that make the durability of the chains longer.
I’m Squidward! I'm not hungry enough to eat a large pizza cutted in 8 slices, but you bet I can chug down a large pizza cutted in 5 slices!
S. Galarneau wtf?
Love your channel bro, keep it up
Looking for a Callor necklace solid 18kt no closure
Thanks for these helpful tips, and the great advice on buying gold jewelry!!!!!!!! 💖❤💜🧡💛💚💙
Can you lighten up the yellow on 18k
I like the chains you have on in this video your personal ones I want something like that I was wondering if you knew the gram weight of what your personal chains are
I have a 24 karat gold ring that is from Southeast Asia. I'm half Southeast Asian half European American, and I love the look and feel of 24 karat gold. In East Asia and Southeast Asia, most of the gold jewelry from those regions are made out of pure 24 karat gold. While in India and is South Asia in general, gold jewelry in that region is made of 22 karat gold.
Gregory Petty does 18k brake easy that’s what I’ve been hearing and other say not what’s your experience with it is it scratched a lot of bend? Lmk plz
I love the look of the Cuban link I just bought a 4 mm one but one day I want to get like a 10 or 12 mm
+Marcel Dubois yeah that's the goal bro
Check out Daniel jewelry or CRM jewelers they make beautiful handmade cuban links at a way better price bro. I paid $6,750 for a 18k 9mm Cuban link 165grams (crm jewelers) They both are from miami and i live in California
+Youevenliftbrah? I live in miami and I've been to CRM jewlers don't do it all Cubans in big sizes are handmade and there mark up is crazy expensive and the guy who always wears sunglasses in the house is a douchebag they act like if you ain't spending 25k they don't want to be bothered with you #shop jacoje u won't be disappointed
what is the smallest 18k miami cuban you have because i asked ab the 18k in a 3.5mm and you didnt have it in stock?? 1500 budget
mbc20831 actually you can lol depending on the length and solid/hollow factors i can probably get a really nice one for that price .
What's your opinion on a 20inch figaro 14k 3.5mm.....for a man?
I used to buy only 18k gold...
Hey do you have a 2 gram mary pendent
Hey, can I get some info on your delivery/shipping
(Will it be damaged or how long will it take)
Can you make a Herringbone video?
I am 16
I have noticed that the cost of the gold has increased
I would like to put all my summer savings here
Hold up it increased as of lately?
@@theundisputed3671 yep
@@theundisputed3671 but its better to invest in compound interest
Get a Webull account and invest in the stock market. Jewelry is great for looks especially as a musician but right now be smart and make your money work for you kid. Buy stocks with dividends and crypto and when you make some money on your returns buy gold jewelry as a trophy and wearable investment.
@@am1992sxe like how to make money work you??
What do people think of 9ct like they have in Europe,?
so maybe 14 kt bracelets and neck chains but 18 kt pendants
+highdefinitiondiva yeah that would be good. 18kt gold pendants are nice!
Both garbage....if you can't afford 24k....don't even bother!
@@maxfury7226 you're a moron..
This guy is my new jewelry
Its called luster!
Thank you
Your prices for 18k are not on your website?
I need to find out on a couple of rolex 1 is got has brushed and polished nice heavy watch it the model that pat. The mag eye it's a date just rolex can you help want to find out what I have my father died got them thin
LETS GO SQUAD UP
Can you do a review on Russ' jewelry
Hey brandon what doe you think about a 10k pendant on a 14k chain? I have a piece like that
+X 000 not bad. I don't get too choosy like most people when it comes to things like that. I put a 24kt gold bar in a 14kt gold frame on a 14kt gold chain. Colors are different but it's all good stuff
What’s the difference between 18k white and rose gold vs 14k?
first the purity 18k has 75% of pure gold also called 750 and the alloy for exemple to give the rose gold color it require copper to give that rose gold colors then 14k has 58.5 % of gold 14k is called 585 stamped that about the difference between the two one is more durable throughout the time 14k and 18k is more prestigious and course more pricey
I have an 18k 8" Byzantine bracelet with hollow links. A tiny piece of one link broke off. Is this an expensive repair? I would like to sell it but I don't know if it's worth it to fix it. Thanks for any help!
Jackie78NJ Where you live
Thanks
Hey I've been watching you're videos for a while keep it up! So I have had this 14K gold chain for a couple months and yesterday I tried to wash it with warm water and I've never seen my chain this shiny before, do you know any good ways of cleaning a 14K gold chain? thanks!
dish soap and warm water or order a gold polishing cloth
Thankyou so much for you're reply I'll be sure to try the first option.
16k?
Hey jacoje you said the difference with white gold and silver is that silver is a lot more bleachy bright , but once it dulls down would you say it's identical to white gold ? Do you think silver could ever look identical to white gold ?
Crooks Savage No it won't. White gold has a different luster, different sparkle to it when the light hits it.
Crooks Savage no way its a different color. Silver looks milky white and bleachy white gold looks metallic and with a tint of gold.
Dam i want that 8 mm cuban link i want a 28 or 30 inch...14kt
Plz can you do a review about gold gods plz
+Edwin Guzman yes
Hey Jacobe
I would like to order two Cuban gold chains 14k 22” and one 22” 14k rope... can you tell me what is the specific gravity test for 14k gold? Thanks I like your videos!!!
Lol he won’t know
hey i have a question if anybody can help me out that would be great. i just purchased a gold chain off ebay and it is marked 14k but when tested it turns out to be 10k anybody have an explenation for why this would happen? i would really appreciate it thanks
+alex m could be slightly lower purity. It should test ok if it was 14kt. I would go take it in and have a shop test it. Just say you're thinking about selling it and want to get it tested lol
+JACOJE LYNX ok will have a shop test it thanks again
+JACOJE LYNX just took it to a shop today and they said it is a gold plated chain and not real gold. which really sucked i thought acid was reliable but guess not
Why would you buy gold on eBay
+Nixon Delly why not gold is much cheaper on ebay if you win an auction i always buy gold on ebay this is the first time that i got a gold plated chain but the seller accepted my return request and i got a refund
Braden would your logo be to small on a 4mm mariner or would I have to change the bail
+Robert Stoudt should work but I would probably have to change the bail
+JACOJE LYNX thanks
More gold content=more value. I prefer 18 karat, never had problems with damaging it
mew too im wearing chain and a little heavy of 18k pendant while doing exercise. never had a problems too
Hello John, I work was a machinist and I'm looking to buy a rope chain.. would u recommend 14k or 18k? I'm confused on the delicacy of gold ..
@@Vic-rf6hs 18k has more purity 75% pure as opposed to 58.3 with 14k gold which makes it a bit softer and potentially more prone to scratching etc but unless your doing rough or intense activity I wouldn’t worry about it a prefer 18k always. feels good to have more purity/value in my opinion
Is 14k fake ?
Wheres ur shop?
Very good video. Thank you.
Bought a 21KT gold chain weighing 15 grams for $1150 in Kuwait. Is that a good deal?
15g of 21kt = 13.125g of pure gold x $62 per gram = $813.75 of gold value.
$813.75/$1150= 0.707
so you paid a 30% premium which is pretty typical if not cheaper than American jeweler’s premiums
@@potatoyes246 thank you for the info! I guess that’s not too bad, he’s gotta make money too
Thanks..
Man thanks for the knowledge. Love your channel 😎
There is a cuban that's 14k its 2r inches and its pre owned. It has to be 8mm. Is 6k a good price for it?
Way over priced. like double what it should be
Oh for a necklace I was confused by the length. What’s the length?
What's the difference now? I have 18kt gold rope with strong link 9kt gold. I wore every good day fashion. When somebody have to give me answer?
10k v 14k
Hey I baught a chain and a wrist chain. Both 18 carrot and 45 grams total. What the current value? Thanks
DOUG FERGUSON lol weigh it
PORKY YT turned out it was a fake
Hey man, what's your thoughts about 3 chains of the same length like rope, but each are 1mm higher than the other? Like 1.5 then 2.5 than 2.5mm
Best jewellery channel on TH-cam
+Breean Wood love it! That's how I wear most my chains
JACOJE LYNX thanks bro, do you think you could just briefly show what that look would look like on camera maybe on your next vid 😊
We use 18k in suriname because we can 😎
Guyana too you know how we do
