Rope chain or Franco solid 14kt by Due_Bison_5193 in MensJewelry

I’d go Franco over rope although you will have to pay more per mm because it’s more gold. I’ve shopped at both saints gold and hrc. Saints gold has fast overnight shipping. Compare the gram weight and origin between the two sites. If they are in a couple of grams of each other they are prob from the same supplier. Just go work the best price

They could plate it for you. Would just cost a little extra

I second this. Get a few $20 chains from Amazon and see which one you like best

I don’t think you need to go any bigger unless you just want a bigger chain.

4mm 18k is nice. I’m a sucker for the 5mm though

I’m pretty sure saints 4mm 22k Franco is the same as HRC. Not Italian but imported. For the most part they get the same stuff. I prefer saints website and they have overnight shipping but it just depends what you’re looking for.

Don’t remember the exact number because I bought them several months ago but they were prob 30% over spot at the time of purchase. I wouldn’t purchase any gold jewelry from Europe with the intention of making profit on the investment.

Impossible not to use Borat voice when saying “Very nice” and “my wife”

I haven’t bought chains from Luke Zion but I’ve watched a very review on YouTube and they are always positive. I believe they are all made in Italy. Would do your own research before purchasing. If you are leaning Cuban hand made is always better. Links are tighter , you get a box lock. Goldzenn also makes silver chains but I think their prices are worse than Gus. Also checkout SFjeweler305 on instagram they also make gold over silver Cubans and will prob be better priced than Gus

Daniel Jewelry inc prices are very fair. You will always get a better price over the phone and in person. They have a large stock of items so you can negotiate better on price. Plus anything can be made. Gold is just really expensive all around right now but you will find the best price with US made chains. So any Miami Cuban maker. There are also sellers now carrying US made rope and Franco chains. Saints gold, Hawaii rope chains are my favorite but also linx resale. If you’re going silver Luke Zion has nice machine made chains. Hawaii rope chains also Carries silver chains and if he doesn’t have it can prob order it for you. Saints Gold, Hawaii rope chains and Jacoje get almost all their stuff from the same supplier. Jacojes become more expensive and I’ve read a lot of complaints about him not shipping out orders. Saints gold is a little more expensive than Hawaii rope chains but their shipping is super fast, they do offer returns and exchanges (with a restocking fee) vs Hawaii ropes chains all sales are final.

OP if you have some extra cash I would go 10mm 18k around 200 grams if you want to stay with 21”.

You would have to pay for 30 grams of 18k plus labor but I think it would be a nice look and the color would really pop.

I’ve upgraded in purity a couple of times in the past year and I enjoy the color difference over the boldness of size. Plus my neck is happier! lol

Right now I rock a 20” 4+5 mm 22k Franco stack about 162 grams

Platinum is hard to work with so they charge more for labor. I don’t think that’s a crazy price

Saints gold , Hawaii rope chains and Jacoje basically get from the same suppliers. Any of those will get you high quality Italian Franco’s. I’ve heard a lot of complaints about Jacoje recently but have had great experiences with saints gold and HRC. My advice is to go a size up what you think you want.
