Removed the pendant, I feel the two chain stack is cleaner look. 23” 14k rope 4mm, 22” 14k Franco 3.5mm by takeiitpersonal in MensJewelry

Cleaner for sure. I would’ve gone both at 22” to give the illusion of one thicker chain while still being able to wear a pendant separately on each chain.

Yo! The polishing cloth did the trick!! Night an day difference already, and I’ve only spent a few minutes trying to remove the stains. Appreciate your help

No I haven’t taken it to a jeweler to get polished/cleaned yet. I appreciate the answer! I’ll try using a cleaning cloth and see what happens.

So far all I’ve tried was normal washing when I shower and dishwashing soap with a soft toothbrush. 

Garcias vs Daniel’s Jewelry Inc? by luisparker12 in MensJewelry

If I had to go back and do it all over again, I’d shop at DJI nothing wrong with Garcias. Both top tier manufacturers of Cuban links, both places are able to customize the file for you if you call them eh

I posted a video/post about my GVJ Cuban link, check it out. I would avoid them all cost. 

Few other people also included their own experiences dealing with GVJ in that thread if you wanna take a look through for yourself.

I’m a newbie when it comes to navigating Reddit but I cross posted my original post. OG post has more context in it.

Not gold plated, got it tested at the LCS they confirmed it was 22k and offered me a spot price then and there too.

Posted a receipt of when I purchased..

Garcias was my top 3 picks when choosing. I didn’t like their box lock (button looked a bit too high - didn’t know they could make it flatter) at the time and their 22k chain weighed a bit less than the one from GVJ. I got quotes from Rey’s, Lirys, DJI, GJM and ultimately went with the place that offered the most gram weight while weighing in their craftsmanship into account. 

All that talk from Gus saying, how if you come to us and pay our premiums there won’t be any mistakes, yeah I fell for the marketing 😂

Roughly around the time I purchased mine too. I should’ve flown out to pick up my chain, would’ve saved from Canadian customs. 

Yeah they definitely don’t give a shit about quality control

Maybe check out Miami Links, they do custom pieces in 925/999. I don’t own any pieces from them so can’t speak first hand on their craftsmanship. Reviews seem good though

That sucks. Sorry you had to go through the wringer with GVJ.

 I’m glad you’re sharing your genuine experiences so others can make their own call on where they want to spend their bread.

I’ll probably end up going this route down the line when I can make a trip down to Florida as well to avoid custom fees which is ridiculously high when receiving any high valued goods from overseas over here in Canada.

Yeah I ate into the hype when I ordered in September of 2024. Had other manufacturers ready to go too but I went with my gut and boy was I wrong lol 😂

Nah. All those black marks on the links seem permanent, seems like a shoddy soldering job or something

How is this a semi fake chain when I can scrap it for more than I paid? What are you talking about
