Shouldn’t a solid 24” 4mm Franco weigh a lot more than that?

Being in the US mind set when we want gold and we expect solid. From what I seen outside the US they mainly do hollow for 2mm above especially 18k and above.

if u like the chain get it. I just wouldn't Rock a pendent due to warping the chain.

that pic was at the jewelry store, i never bought the chain as i am looking for one a bit thicker. then gold prices shot way up. my cross is like 80 grams, the rope was like 140 grams.

Oh ok. Honestly that chain looks perfect to me.

 

[freshpairs]

Yea Is pretty hollow.. out here gold is in abundance but for some reason they like to sell and/or assume people are looking for hollow jewelry. Any other opinions? Also, anyone know the average grams for a 4mm 18K 24in rope?

Jacoje has his listed at 36.8 grams. Diamond cut if it matters

thank you. i had a franco on it but got tired of it, bought one off jimmy boi when he use to post here. dope chain and i love francos, but it was too long @32 inches. as i lost weight it was funny how my neck started shrinking and the chains were becoming too long. at one point 24 inches was like a choker, but now 24-26 is about right for me. i think adding a rope is a no brainer for this cross. funny thing was dude truing to sell me a franco when he didnt have what i was looking for

a lot of hallow stuff tends to feel like cheap gold tone metal in my experience. not all but most of it. feels like lightweight thin metal that just happens to have gold mixed in it rather than sumthing that is a dense/heavy precious metal 1st & foremost.

Thanks y'all. I've decided to pass on it and yes, I did see thr Jacoje Franco earlier and all makes sense now with regards to Franco weight.

A 140 gram 14k rope is a little over 6 stacks now. Your butt should've bought that rope

 

[solecity]

For those that buy gold often, would the popular vote here be 14k or 18k ? What is your preference?

14k is a safer investment from getting your money back and durability . I only have 18k because I can get it online for what NYC jewelers want for 14k .

for sure. i ended up getting something different, but yeah, i miss when gold was more in the $1200ish range an ounce because prices were more reasonable. it was nice to hear people on here copping 14k gold chains in the high $20's low $30's a gram. 18k in the high $30's low $40's.

I'm on the older side so i remember when gold was regularly under $900 an ounce. I would probably go nuts if i could pay $20 a gram again. I dont know much about the economy, but I'm guessing those days are over.

a lot of it is personal preference. if i was doing yellow, i'd like 18k for that shine and luster. 14k is good and that's usually what i go for. it can be polished/dipped to look like 18k.

i used to have no problem owing 10k as it usually looked the same anyway, especially in white gold, but 14k is the way to go for me. in yellow gold i would not mind stretching it to 18k. if you are mixing different pieces chains by layering you want to make sure everything kinda shines/looks the same. if you are just going for once piece and one piece only go with the 18k if you can, but 14k is fine. If you are going for somehting heavy though, that extra cheddar in the 18k VS 14k is going to add up. gold is so expensive right now.

The chain is 9mm 183 grams and the bracelet is 14 mm 157

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

[spicaly]

I think that's a figaro link, but nice either way

 

[balldontlie206]

Yeah thats dope, don't think I've seen a chunky fig like that.

 

[cs02132]

Sonny Corinthos you must have been getting all the PR chicks back in the day

 

[MrClean510]

I'll be patiently waiting for gold makers to drop back down to low 30s. I want a chunky Cuban but I'm not paying 4x or 5x a gram.
