It's from Jacoje. I agree that his price per gram is a little high, but the Franco is well made and looks better than some of the other Francos I've seen on the market.
On a side note, my personal opinion when it comes to price, length, karat, and width is just get what you're comfortable with. I know there's a lot of back and forth when it comes to those topics, but different people like different things.

Why do you say that?
I think this is something that the form is pretty split on. I with
ninjahood
on this I dont see the point of paying the markup outside of The Prestige. That being said I also would not create a carbon copy of the love bracelet I would take some cues from it and create my own custom bracelet.

Yall trippin again... brand name does affect resell.. just look at tiffany jewelry and it doesn't need to be 100yrs old(but that helps). It's the argument u had about 10k 14k 18k..doesn't matter if ur at a pawn shop.. they rape u off top! So if u have a real cartier bracelet and go to a pawn shop ur ******ed but secondly if u think they're gonna give u a lil over scrap for a $14,000 piece ur ******ed too. A reputable pawn shop will find the actual resell value and make offer based on that! Now it is frontin..u can't afford the real and make one exactly alike..u cappin! Make ur own design or put a twist on it IMHO

Wrong, with a regular hand held diamond tester Moissanites will test as real diamonds in most cases, that’s why the top jewellers use an X-Ray machine instead.

This.
I agree with Ninja's stance as it relates to gold chains. Basically gold content (no matter if it is ifandco, reys, icebox, etc) matters the most in terms of resell and value. But when it comes to high-end designer fine jewelry that just isn't the case. Just like LV/Birkin bags retain value in a different way than a standard leather bag (even one with "higher quality) high-end designer fine jewelry retains its value, in large part, on its name alone. Tiffany, Cartier, Harry Winston, etc have resell markets just for their items. Part of that value comes from the design. The pawn shop isn't a good metric of their value. If you get a jeweler to make you a look-alike, that is what it is. A knock-off.

moissanites are thernal conducive so they act just like diamonds. you're supposed to put it under a loop and check its double refractive nature.

Never but I have no shame in my game. And me and my wife both on the same page we rather spend for experiences that overpay four items. That's why me and my wife both settled on a Morganite stone. And I got 8 small diamonds in my ring. I'm not into Faking It but I think there's no shame in saying yeah this looks like diamonds and it cost good money but it's not diamonds

In the immortal words of Dapper Dan " We don't do knock-offs we do knock-ups" lol if you have millions of dollars in the bank's I guess I understand (truthfully I don't) buying precious metal and then paying more for the name alone. But to me having something custom made Trump's a name brand that made thousands of them when yours is one of one. It's no different to me than buying expensive Tom Ford suit versus getting a custom handmade tailored suit made out of Exquisite materials. But I do understand respect where y'all coming from. I'm just working class Dude any way
