I like how you went into detail about neck size. The way the 18" was on you is the exact way a 22" is on me. Brayden should probably add that in his reviews bc all he says is that he's a bigger guy but to a weight lifting bigger guy he's small. Idk what my neck size is but I wear 26" and that fits me like your 22" fits you and i likethat it goes over my head bc i hate bothering a lobster clasp. Great collection my dude!
I just got me a 14k 3mm diamond cut Franco. Traded in my 10k 9mm curb chain and 19 ounces of silver bullion for it. It's a different diamond cut than Jacoje's. I fell in love with it. I'm usually a rope guy myself. But Francos just have that heaviness to them, perfect for pendants, and a really strong chain. My 3mm 24" weighs 34.3 grams.
I grew up and South philly Atlantic City area everybody wore gold rope chains. Franco just feels like it's built to last forever. Next jacoje day I'll pickup 1 more Franco 3.5mm or 4mm 18k 22". Just to have 1 big heavy solitaire piece. They get heavy & expensive fast especially in 18k.
@@seankiesling2054 I very much enjoy the 4mm still, it’s way easier to fit pendants on it and it still stands out really well if it’s just stand alone too, plus I have a 10k rose gold chain in the same length as my tri color, both 22inch, and sometimes that one stands out too much when I want to be subtle, and 5mm is also more of a struggle to fit pedants on but overall I’m happy I got this width, with the different colors it has for some reason to me it stands out more than just one plan color, and people ask about it too which is fun to tell them about Jacoje hahaha but my chains still beautiful and going strong, and shiny as ever!
I was thinking about jacoje maybe will get a bracelet there next. Just got a 4mm gold Cuban from Traxnyc and negotiated a good price with them on the phone, also got a nice cross pendant. I prefer Cuban links since they lay flat and are classic. I've had ropes before that have ripped, never again!
I have purchased pendants From trax NYC. These rope chains are solid gold. Would be very hard to break these bigger ones. I wear mine to the gym all the time, and work. Outside of a street fight , I don't see anything breaking over the 20 gram mark.. I prefer heavy diamond cut francos now . I think they give you the hardest shine/strength per $. My next pickup will be a 5-7mm 22 cuban, or a 4mm Franco 18k.
@@goldentrucker7921 Correct, it is hard to break them.. I do Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu so that's where it broke, but it was also only 2mm thick, if it was thicker It probably would have lasted. Just got a lot of Maple leafs and a thick silver curb bracelet with this current silver dip why not splurge a bit!
@@alexter001122 gotcha i grew up boxing, wrestlin from 5 to 18 years old.Have a purple belt in Jiu Jitsu. Gold is dipping now too. Best buy right now is liberty coin on ebay. 20 franc gold coins at $377. I picked up 2 today. I'm waiting until silver drops below $20 an oz, or close. Then stackin up. I'll resell the silver when it gets high $20s again. It's good buying with the dip. It's just a wild time with stocks, precious metals taking huge hits the last 30 days.
@@alexter001122 Get a Miami Cuban made from a maker in Miami. Look up Reys Gold and Cash. Nice links and awesome to deal with. Depending on the size Cuban you go it was probably machine made not hand made.
Thinking about getting a 4mm rope to stack with the 3mm Franco looks to be similar in size. I had a 5mm rope but it didn’t look right stacked with a 3mm.
Hey did you get that lobster clasp swapped out on the 18k 4mm rope, I know you were saying the clasp was too small, or did you keep it as is. Just got a 4mm from jacoje too and I was thinking about swapping it out for a traditional lobster clasp.
So I ordered the 18k 3mm franco dc in 22inch and accidentally recieved the 14k version. Kind of a good thing because the 3.5mm version had just became available so I swapped it to the 3.5mm. My question is how would you say the 18k fares in daily use. I'd like to leave it on all the time even sleep with it. I had a 14k for years back in the day and never had an issue. From what I've seen 18k is still pretty strong but I'd like to hear your thoughts. thx
I even wearing my 2mm 22" 24k with 24k cross pendant (total combined weight 25grams) gold chain for 1 year now and never remove it in my neck.i even workout 6x a week and go beach once a week.it depends on the design of the chain and if its thinner than 1mm,then higher risk to break.also only rings and bracelet jewelries mostly get the daily beating if worn all the time,so 24k for those will ofcourse get scratches,dent or even break apart.not unless if the ring and bracelet are so thick.
haha "the wrong attention" I felt that. hopefully the wrong attention don't do anything stupid because I always got my piece on me, not talking about the chain LOL nah but I got a 14k white gold solid rope from jacoje was 2400 and what's kinda cool with white gold, "the wrong attention" don't know if its silver or not and worth stealing. Little do they know its 2.4k lol but either way like I said I always got it on me so its all good!
What's the size difference in person between the 4 mm and the 5 mm rope?And is the 4 mm a good size chain in person?I'm trying to decide between the 4 and 5 mm im 6 foot 230 so thinking might need the 5 mm

It’s not just your neck size. If you have big shoulders (traps) and bigger chest, the chain will sit noticeably higher.

What would you suggest ?
@@davidmcmahon1983 go with 3.5 mm
@@truegrizzlesfan2292 yea I went with the 3.5mm 22inch 18k
Looking to get a 5mm 24inch. Or a rope. Not sure
Hell of a collection! Would have loved to seen a tucked in look for the back and sides pop too. Allgood though, thanks for the vid
There must be a contest to see who can push Jacoje the most on TH-cam 😱
4mm looks classy, Digging it.
Great review! very nice chains, ive got a jacoje 4mm rope but its the tricolor chain, such a beautiful standout chain
Do you wish you would have went 5mm or do you like the 4mm?

Have that rope and I have to say that clasp is super small. Quality chain overall though

Would you wear the rope chains to sleep? I like to wear my flat curb 24-7.
I have. But I try not to.
A solid chain at this thickness shouldnt have much problem sleeping in
even though the franco is a stronger chain, with care the rope is still no slouch when it comes to lifetime durability?
Nice chains sir 👌 love the ropes
Didn’t realize the end caps are different on the rope & Franco

From what I've been told by people who own 18K it's perfect for everyday wear. It's not as soft as 22 or 24K so you definitely should be good.

Beautiful piece...
Thank you. I'm wearing it now. On that south Philly Italian stallion vibe
@@goldentrucker7921 no doubt my man
Excellent collection 🔥🔥🔥
Would you consider the 4mm rope as durable as the 3 mm Franco? I just got a Franco on Friday and already thinking of my next purchase.
Pretty close. The Franco is my everyday wear. No worries with it. I wear the 3mm 18k 22" all the time.
Great video
Got a 22in 4mm 14k d/c rope and it was the biggest regret of my life. 4mm is just waaayyy too small
Yeah, the width is measured before they diamond cut… it is more like 3.5mm for Jacoje 4mm d/c ropes. 😢
haha "the wrong attention" I felt that. hopefully the wrong attention don't do anything stupid because I always got my piece on me, not talking about the chain LOL nah but I got a 14k white gold solid rope from jacoje was 2400 and what's kinda cool with white gold, "the wrong attention" don't know if its silver or not and worth stealing. Little do they know its 2.4k lol but either way like I said I always got it on me so its all good!
18k Rope chain. How much did you pay.
Around $2500
You gna put any of them coins on a chain?
How much?
Can you negotiate prices with Jacoje
No
Clasp reminds me of a handcuff.
Is this company reputable? Is the golf real?
Of course. Very high quality. I've had everything tested in the beginning.
@@goldentrucker7921 thanks! Is it marked Italy on the chain?
Franco is marked Italy. Jacoje rope chains are imported from Peru.
What's the size difference in person between the 4 mm and the 5 mm rope?And is the 4 mm a good size chain in person?I'm trying to decide between the 4 and 5 mm im 6 foot 230 so thinking might need the 5 mm
Definitely go with the 5 if you haven’t purchased already
Only thing if you the 5mm you're paying about $500 for 1mm... something to think about
Let me buy that 18inch rope from you lol
5 mm ❤
Anyone interested I’m selling my 4mm 30g rope located in LA 24”
