I bought a 9mm diamond cut rope chain 26 inch from them as well, had to wait 3 weeks for it to be made, and it was 10 grams over what they said it would weight. 14K
Have you also got a rope from Jacoje? If so, how is the quality compared to eachother since Jacoje's ropes are from Peru? The price per gram for 14k for ropes and flat curbs turns out to be lower at Sarraf due to their standard 10% off coupon and free shipping
Ryan Anderson the franco will appear thicker. It also costs twice as much and has twice the weight. They are both very nice and you only can see the difference wearing them both at the same time. Individually they both look fantastic.
Ryan Anderson the diamond cut rope chains are gauged and measured before the diamond cut process takes place (most cases). So the rope starts out @ a 4MM and by the time the diamond cuts are done, ends up being +/- .5MM less. Again, big reason to shop per gram because this all varies. The Franco's are true to size because it's a different chain, different manufacturers.
I bought the 5mm rope chain from Sarraf when I got it I loved it but wearing it I got a lot of grief from people as in friends and family saying it looked like a coke dealer chain or Pablo Escobar type shit so I sold it.. but now I want a 4mm figarope chain by the looks of yours it should be perfect..
I ordered gold nugget bracelet from them I hope I’m satisfied, your video and a couple other videos gave me the courage to order so I hope I did the right thing by ordering it. Pray for me people!
Sarraf is 100 ligit!! I have bought many 18k braclets and chains and all have been great still wearing to this date everyday!! There a store based in the los angels jewelry district!! Which is the biggest jewelry district in the country next to nyc
@@marshallkerry8695 yes i have had it tested its legit however they tried to pull a smaller mm and weight on me with the chain! So real 18k but there not completely trusted bye anymore. I shop directly from italy now
I bought a Greek pattern ring from them it said approximately 13 grams online and when it came in it only weighed 5 grams I was very upset, I returned it but I had to pay for the shipping so I lost out on like 45 dollars
Nice Video..I’ve been buying my gold from Sarraf for about 10 years now and never had a bad experience. On my very first purchase I too had it authenticated because I couldn’t believe the price for what I picked out. Turned out it was real and actually heavier than it listed. I haven’t purchased a single gold item anywhere else since.
i just made a purchase from them as well. ordered a 2.5mm with a weight of 11grams. the chain they sent was only 2.1mm, but the weight was exactly 11grams. not sure if there was a mixup, but i will be sending back. my point is if you do buy, make sure you are getting the correct item. although i got the correct weight it wasnt what i ordered....
I would not recommend their chains at all. They aren’t clear and are misleading. 2 weeks ago bought a 3.5mm 14k gold chain. It turns out it’s semi hollow they never specified that until one of the links bent while I rested my neck on the pillow. When I called them they said it’s semi hollow and they did not put it in description because it “confuses” people. Also like all reviews say there is no stamp for Italy so it’s not a real made in Italy chain and likely outsourced from China with poor quality
They also sell two curb styles. Their open curb chains are much cheaper because they weigh less. Make sure you compare the flat curb prices to each other.
Im trying to buy a rope chain but i can't decide between jacoje or sarraf. Idk why in jacoje video's his rope chains have a way lighter color to me im not sure if its the lighting or what it is?
+Youevenliftbrah? He is legit, i wouldn't worry about lighting in vids. Non diamond cut will give a darker more gold appearance. Im a pale light tone so the diamond works better for me. Sometimes stuff out of Italy is a tad darker because it contains a tiny but more gold i have been told. My chain from him was filed and tested and came back good.
Hey bro lirys or Jacogi I think it's called is just as trust worthy but much cheaper per gram and that's all that matter in the end if the quality is ther as well which it is
Charles winsdor. They do and he's a real dude stand up guy ! Lirys also has 32 a gram 14kt bro that's the best you will find anywhere but both are very good
@Robert Stoudt, I can verify and testify. Made a purchase for two 5mm 18K Rope and Franco last week. Really nice pieces with good weight. Don't even hesitate if you're still in the market for some good quality chains.
I'm still debating on purchasing chains from Sarraf. They're a bit cheaper compare to other websites like goldenmine.com. Probably ill check some pawnshops first.
Omar Cruz 7th and Broadway all along broadway is a bunch of jewelry shops as well as on Hill St. Sarraf has a public showroom on Hill St in the St Vincent Jewelry Center I think.
Considering the price they charge for 14k gold you might consider 23k gold (96.5%) for about the same price. 23k gold is standard purity in Thailand. 23kgold.com. The statement that most jewelry today is purchased by the jeweler in bulk and clasp attached so no origin stamp is the sign of mass produced jewelry with a very high markup. The packaging also indicates "Flash appeal" and low value. 14k gold is almost 50% alloy (cheap metal used to blend with real gold}.
Thomas Pryor thanks for the quick reply! I'm looking into buying a gold chain very soon but I noticed you don't really have that many options on your website
We have little or no stock. Most photos are of customers custom orders. Each style request has to be accepted by the goldsmith before production. Most customers know the link style they want. Thai BAht gold is primarily purchased for the purity. The workmanship in my view, is also an excellent feature. The trend in gold jewelry is toward higher value and resell stability.
+Regie B sarraf has been in business 25 years. Jacoje is just starting out. If you want a franco id go with jacoje. If you are getting something else id price them between both. They sell the same chains in different gram weights so the prices will be different. Ex. 4mm rope between both will not weigh the same, and the price will reflect.
I made an excel spreadsheet and calculated the value of the simiar chains of both Jacoje and Sarraf based on how much gold/weight. Sarraf beats out Jacoje when you include a 10 percent constant discount they appear to be applying currently. However it wasn't by much, they are basically selling the same quality for the same price. Both are much better than your typical box retailer.
nice video dude! I just got a 1.8 mm 10k 20inch necklace it is my first solid necklace it weights 22.4 grams and I love wearing it with my 2.9 mm 10k gold bonded over 925 sterling silver.
I would love to know what phone number that you used, because when I tried it it said the call can't be completed as dialed. I found the number just searching for the name of the company and asking for the phone number. I cannot find a phone number on their website
i bought a 14k gold chain off sarraf like 6 years ago and i never really take it off and its in like perfect condition.
Also do they stamp the chain with the carat, does yours have a 14k written on the side
@@maxcarrasco1468 yes it says 14k on it
@@hackcult3738 can u wear it in the shower, sleep with etc?
@@maxcarrasco1468 yes I never take them off. Work, sleep, everything. Shower too
@@hackcult3738 does it come with soldered closed jump ring?
I bought a 9mm diamond cut rope chain 26 inch from them as well, had to wait 3 weeks for it to be made, and it was 10 grams over what they said it would weight. 14K
Drago Prari 9mm thats a big one.
PHILL BULMAN well if you didn't pay for the extra gold it's self explanatory bro ! What's the actual question
Drago Prari that’s awesome!!
I bought from them before and I was very pleased with their jewelry
Yeah right!
Sarraf is legit and been around over 30 years. Nice chain!
what other markings are on the necklace besides the 14k
Have you also got a rope from Jacoje? If so, how is the quality compared to eachother since Jacoje's ropes are from Peru? The price per gram for 14k for ropes and flat curbs turns out to be lower at Sarraf due to their standard 10% off coupon and free shipping
I wanna know the anser to this as well
Nah Jaocjes ropes are from Italy, he’s buys them in bulk from Italy then makes profit of the resale
@@maxcarrasco1468 false his ropes are from Peru he even says this in all his videos his Franco’s are from italy
Does the curb shine more than jacojes I’m trying to decide between them I just don’t know who’s better which one has more shine and better quality
How does this 4mm rope compare to the Jacoje franco chain review you did? The Franco looks waaay thicker for same width size
Ryan Anderson the franco will appear thicker. It also costs twice as much and has twice the weight. They are both very nice and you only can see the difference wearing them both at the same time. Individually they both look fantastic.

Wear what you want. Who cares what anyone else thinks.
People are always going to say dumb shit when they can’t afford one
Didn’t know you bought the chain for others approval
NICE CHAIN SARRAF BRO! 😂💯 Sarraf is legit, love my 3.5mm 26in diamond cut rope chain!💯
Nice, I’m thinking about getting a 3mm
Is it hallow or solid
What is the length?
Getting my rope chain tomorrow, thank you for your help
Did you ever get it tested to see if it was real gold? How is it holding up now a few months later?
I’ll be buying a 4mm rope rose gold chain, thx man for your video
I purchased a 4mm yellow gold rope chain and it's gorgeous AF!!! I wear it with a gold coin from the 1984 LA Olympics.. 😁 😁. Very happy!
Marie Adams excellent!!
Did you actully get on from them
Marie Adams Nice!. How many grams is the chain itself?
20"
Super nice. It has a tight spiral to it which I look for in ropes.
I ordered gold nugget bracelet from them I hope I’m satisfied, your video and a couple other videos gave me the courage to order so I hope I did the right thing by ordering it. Pray for me people!
Did you?
how did the jewellry store authenticate it? just check the hallmarks?
Weighed, handled, checked marks, filed and electronic tested. I also walked them through metal detector.
i need to write that down. to be sure to do all of them lolol
So sarraf is authentic legit solid gold, not plated. ???
Sarraf is legit

Sarraf is 100 ligit!! I have bought many 18k braclets and chains and all have been great still wearing to this date everyday!! There a store based in the los angels jewelry district!! Which is the biggest jewelry district in the country next to nyc
Have you had the gold tested make sure it’s solid gold not plated or overlayed or filled

How was your SARRAF purchase??? NEED to make a gold purchase just not sure how great their work is??

Saraf is legit
Your rope is the only one any count I have seen on here.beautiful necklace buddy
I had chain filed, it tested 14k.

Hey brudda this company legit ? Nice vid btw
Smart money do you know what a 1mm yellow gold rope chain necklace looks like friendly question
I just want to know because I thought it looked 2mm what I have
Would you recommend purchasing from them?
+Trey Hatcher yes I would.
Thank you was very optimistic on the sites low prices
Is that the diamond cut rope chain or just the regular rope chain
Diamond cut
i just made a purchase from them as well. ordered a 2.5mm with a weight of 11grams. the chain they sent was only 2.1mm, but the weight was exactly 11grams. not sure if there was a mixup, but i will be sending back. my point is if you do buy, make sure you are getting the correct item. although i got the correct weight it wasnt what i ordered....
+hikoukla smart to have it checked. Ropes are tough to measure.
If its diamon cut that could be your answer tbh when they are diamond cut they can come smaller in terms of thickness
I would not recommend their chains at all. They aren’t clear and are misleading. 2 weeks ago bought a 3.5mm 14k gold chain.

What style of chain did you buy if you don't mind me asking?
I go to the store instead because I'm only 30 miles away in Los Angeles CA. 😊
Is this the diamond cut one?
Yes
Is this the hollow one or regular ?
Not hollow... mean Damond cut is really real but regular is more expensive
I ordered the wrong product from sarraf how can I return it to get my money back?
Give them a call.
are all their gold chains 100% gold? i don’t want to buy plated gold.
sarraf vs jacoje. sarraf curb link 14k, 7mm, 24' cost $1330 and jacoje is $1950 that's that's $600 difference.
Danniel Baldoza look at weight (amount) of gold.
They also sell two curb styles. Their open curb chains are much cheaper because they weigh less. Make sure you compare the flat curb prices to each other.
I always been skeptical of sarraf because they were so inexpensive... but as long as it tests real I'm buying
I just bought a 5mm curb link from sarraf did u ever have ur chain tested? Hope fully I receive mine soon
Derek had it filed and tested, checked out good.
How is your curb chain holding up? Would you recommend
I feel better now about Saffaf so I can order me and my wife our matching herringbone necklaces.
Im trying to buy a rope chain but i can't decide between jacoje or sarraf. Idk why in jacoje video's his rope chains have a way lighter color to me im not sure if its the lighting or what it is?
Youevenliftbrah? Prob diamond cut vs not. Diamond cut looks lighter, shimmers more. I like diamond cut.
Yea jacoje is diamond cut, would you mind looking at his rope chain video and seeing if you see a color difference?
+Youevenliftbrah? He is legit, i wouldn't worry about lighting in vids. Non diamond cut will give a darker more gold appearance. Im a pale light tone so the diamond works better for me. Sometimes stuff out of Italy is a tad darker because it contains a tiny but more gold i have been told. My chain from him was filed and tested and came back good.
Jacoje is cheaper too. This chain at 26” is $2400 from Sarraf. I got my 26” for $1500 from Jacoje
Jacoje is the best price and quality too
Hey bro lirys or Jacogi I think it's called is just as trust worthy but much cheaper per gram and that's all that matter in the end if the quality is ther as well which it is
Purchased chain link chain from them. Very happy with it
What karat ?
He said 14k
24" ?
price?
+Definitely A Black Guy it was about 1400 with 10% discount applied.
I've always wondered about saraf they have the best prices period I've found
look real to me
If they don't have a trademark stamp would you really be getting a legit product?
I read somewhere if they don't have a trademark stamp you shouldn't buy
TheBIindEmpire
By law if im not mistaken, it must show purity as well as trademark.
You are correct....I bought a 14KT 3MM 24in Closed Curb from Jewelry Pot and it did have the Italian company's Hallmark stamp on the end cap.
@@SmartMoneyReviews definitely doesn’t need trademark stamp
Are you meaning the karat stamp? Or a jewelers mark?
Thanks for the upload, been thinking of buying a nice fat two tone Figaro or diamond cut rope. I'm leaning towards the rope now.
Ropes are timeless and prob less common than figaro. The franco is my favorite, but its heavy and expensive compared to rope.
Jacoje has better ropes then sarraf Miami Cubans sarraf depends whats your looking for
Who has the best mariner chain at 10mm wide?
What all do you know about sarraf jewelry? I have seen mixed reviews and I don't do mixed reviews or mixed vegetables.
Jacoje throws lobster clasp on every chain and even Cubans... lobster clasp do not belong on Cubans 🤮🤮🤮
#shop jacoje fine jewelry
Robert Stoudt do they have legit gd chains?
Charles winsdor. Yes 100 percent watch him on youtube

I'm still debating on purchasing chains from Sarraf. They're a bit cheaper compare to other websites like goldenmine.com. Probably ill check some pawnshops first.
If you're in L.A. just go to the jewelry district and browse the jewelry shop buffet. If not I recommend your local indoor swapmeet.
where is the jewelry district located in LA?

Approx $1700. The big question that I can't answer is the diameter, Depends on the wire thickness, Have not made this before.

they are both rope links as well but the solid gold is diamond cut very pretty
I bought a 51 grams piece but they sent me a 40 grams piece instead they are thieves
Lmao i thought you were gonna get it tested because of the title eye balling it ain’t enough for me
Italy gold is not good
I think it was made in Italy I doubt the gold came from Italy
not a real gold clasp
Lol?
Why tf would they have the chain real and the clasp fake..
This is obviously a paid review. First off how is it a unboxing when u took it to the jewelry store already. Shop JACOJE better prices.
Clearly he said he went to get it tested. He didn’t had to say all that but he was pretty forth coming about the chain.
SHOP JACOJE!
+N.A. White both good.
