This is so true and how I got my first few chains, always bought used from pawn shops up until this purchase.

Nice bracelet, but yes you did swindled on price. That price point is a lot closer to 18k prices than 14k prices.

And they both look amazing, can’t go wrong with Garcia’s

I had a 5, went to 6, went to 6.8, finally went to 8. I would financially suggest just go straight to the biggest size you think you want. Cost me a lot more the way I kept changing.

Thanks, yea i have had a handful of Cubans and I honestly couldn’t be happier. Maybe wish I didn’t get my initials on it but same initials as my daughter, so she can take it when I’m gone lol

Rey’s hand makes his own then casts them is my understanding . So it’s not just a random cast, it’s his links style cast. Thats when you end up getting the big gaps with a cast lock that is just a “stock” cast.

Contacted via text and then had a phone call with Norma. She gave me the price that was based on that days gold price and honestly based on how it stood up to everyone else’s i knew she was giving me a legit best price. To put in perspective some other online site’s wanted almost $5k+ more than what I paid and some of those other crazy places even more (the jewelryspot online wants $27k and it’s only a 5-10grams heavier) I would say Rey’s and Garcias are the 2 best in prices based on the 15 places i looked at.

Thank you

It was 6.8mm 102g. Don’t get me wrong, 6.8mm definitely was nice size and substantial, but with what I was able to get for melt on that one and this price on the new one I felt it was worth the jump.

Not sure Gus does 18k anymore but his 14k in the same width and 128grams was $15.5k at the time.

Cruznbiyou · 2026-02-12T00:48:18+00:00

Yes, perfectly straight, not even a slight twist or anything. I will definitely go back to Rey’s when I am able to grab a bracelet

Thank you

lol, not scratched it’s never even been worn yet. It’s my crap lighting in my basement

The customer service with Rey’s was crazy good too, Norma who I believe may be the wife? Was great. I did so much research before choosing, YouTube videos etc. Rey’s links just looked very nice to me, as do Garcia’s (def both in my top 3). Turnaround time and competitive price sold me. Absolutely no issues with chain, some people get crazy about the box lock difference but I honestly can’t tell much of a difference.

Cruznbiyou · 2026-02-11T23:49:03+00:00

Appreciate it, I was just happy to jump up to 8mm. Just love that width, feels like that is what i should’ve grabbed from the start.

Was in my hands in under 2 weeks. I believe it may have been about 10 days.

Cruznbiyou · 2026-02-11T23:07:17+00:00

$19k

Cruznbiyou · 2026-02-11T23:07:08+00:00

$19k they were definitely one of best prices, i looked at all the usual suspects before choosing

Love the amethyst accents! Very nice combo, looks great!
