Johnny seems like the coolest jeweler/person. He looks like he's just having a good time.

Here we go again. Use common sense. Seven figures worth of inventory just doesn't pop out of thin air.

Do all jewelers lie about the gold being 18k, 14k etc ?

Of course not all, the point is that honesty and integrity is rare in this business. Even the ones who are can turn on you.

You guys have to realize that this is the social media generation...and they way these jewelers beef with one another...trust me if a jeweler was selling fake whatever they would be exposed. If you are known to sell fake jewelry it could end your career most wont roll that dice.
You guys give jewelers too much cred, i know for a fact that guys go into jewelers and ask for FAKE stones and good gold plating. Im not defending the jewelers but yall not giving props to these fraud dudes in these streets.

I think both y'all are talking about 2 different Johnny's. Johnny dang and king Johnny. Let me tell you this now KJ is a very shady environment if your weak. My boy had a
Peice that turned out to be like 8k(which isn't legally gold) supposed to be 10k.....with i instead of vs stones.....shady.....but this was back in 07.....but you have to understand you come up with there with pennies they are going to give you garbage and sell you a dream. I think most places pay there stone setters by the stone he pays them minimum wage by the hr. So I think that plays a role in how much cheaper they are.
As far as drug dealers lol man it ain't there responsibility to make sure your income is legal but I believe it is there responsibility to wrote any person spending 10k and up. I could be wrong though. Honestly I wouldn't give a **** and most of you wouldn't either....

Yeah no shots at anybody, i aint calling no one out, the statement was intended at the industry as a whole collective, and the pit falls involved, theres is good and bad people to every business, industry, the best way to stay safe, is know what your stepping into, educate yourself on the ins and out and last but not least know who your going to market with.

Aye I'm just curious, how are y'all paying for these $8,000+ chains and watches and pendants. Are y'all just paying straight cash/bank transfer? Or are you all doing some type of payment plans?
Y'all must have some good paying jobs. I'm still saving for my 8mm Cuban (CAN SONEONE GIVE ME A BALL PARK PRICE ESTIMATE??)
And how much for a Jesus pendant? No ice, just straight gold? 14K for the chain and pendant

I don't see the problem with saving for jewelry... As long as you have your money set on your priorities first

No I wasn't implying that there's anything wrong. Certain things are just more important to some people. It just goes to show that it is reasonably attainable.

I saved and traded up for most of my purchases,but I haven't brought anything in awhile. After all those years I graduated from i clarity to real vs, but it took a lot of education and bad decisions. This jewelry game ain't for everyone, get educated about street pricing and deals before you enter the game.
