My first chain I bought from Jacoje was a 3mm rope. Initially, I wanted a 2mm and Braden said to go for 3mm and man am I glad I did! And he's absolutely right, you'll end up seeing that it is smaller than what you thought in videos. Super happy with my 3mm but now I'm grown in it and want 4-5mm lol

100% agree, always go bigger! My first Jacoje purchase was the 3.5mm Franco, definitely seemed a lil smaller in person, I should have went with the 4mm…but still a great everyday chain! I recommend after showing the close ups in hand, show a 10-12 foot distant shot on neck. And it’s all love but definitely like these style videos over the vlog style. Keep killing it Jacoje!🔥🔥

Good to know. I was eyeing the 3.5, but felt it was still too small for my body type. I had a 3MM Franco at one time, but it turned out way small. I am a heavyset person. Thinking of 4 or 5MM Franco.

Great video. The camera does definitely play tricks! Some of those 1.5-2mm chains looked so much bigger on video. I’m a big guy but prefer the 2mm chain segment. My daily is 2mm Franco and/or a 3mm rope which is the limit for me. I like the subtleness.

I bought the 3mm Franco and I wish I would've went bigger personally but it did work out because the ghost pendant I bought wouldn't be able to fit anything above 3mm. I just wish I liked the other bigger pendants because I do want to get another bigger chain down the road.

That’s why I figured go big or go home. That’s the philosophy I’ve stuck to ever since I got my 10k gold chains. Shooting for that 8mm Milano chain, it’s a lot of bread, but it’ll be worth it if I ever downgrade or upgrade

Yeah, I started late but thankfully, I did my research by watching a ton of videos. Last July, I bought my first chain! It was a 5mm 26in 14k dc Franco. I love it but, not even a full year later and I’m looking to upgrade. I was told if I upgraded to 18k before July, I’d get it for the difference($1000)! The second part to this is, I’m a lil older(43) and I feel like 28 inches is more my sweet spot BUT I like pieces with my chains, which means now I have to eventually drop more $ on an 18k piece to match! I tell myself that upgrading is just financially the smart move but as July hurdles near, I’m not so sure. Any advise?

@@Jerzeejaylive 5mm 26in is a big boy. It's never a bad idea to upgrade to a higher karat. Depending on how you want them to look you could keep the 14k and just get the 18k and wear them simultaneously. Me personally I like to have mine the same length. In my experience once you get a few chains you'll wear the others less and less. Soo. They'll end up in a safe deposit box somewhere. I have a few figaros and curbs in mine and don't see myself ever wearing them again and that's the beauty of it. I have a graduate this year and I'll have a figaro cleaned and give it to my son. All of that being said in my opinion keep the 26in 14k and just get the 18k. 28in too. It's an addicting hobby and I highly doubt the 28in 18k will be your last. Hope that helps

He’s def right. I was originally going to get a 5mm rope, waited and got a 6mm and incredibly happy I did. Everything def looks bigger than it is on camera

Yup that’s what I did last year I was looking at the 2.5mm rope and decided to wait and save a bit and a year later I bought the 3mm. Absolutely worth the wait no doubt

Seriously if you want something bigger just wait. If you're planning to buy small now and sell and "upgrade" later, maybe don't. Unless you wait years for the value of gold to rise you will lose money selling the old piece in the "upgrade" almost certainly. In the end you will spend more for what you wanted all along. That being said if you have no jewlery at all, a smaller 2-4mm daily starter piece is always nice to have and goes a long way.

I agree. I first purchased a 14k 18mm 535g 22in Miami Cuban link chain from Daniels jewelry Inc. Had it for about a month then I sent it back to upgrade to a 14k 20mm 630g 21in. Then changed my mind again and went with a 18k 20mm 750g 21in. I definitely think I will be extremely happy with this one. 💪👊👍

Nahh just go big from the start yes he’s right but if you can just do it because Iv done it I started & 2mm rope wasn’t enough then 4mm wasn’t enough now ima at a 5mm Franco just go big from the start even if it means waiting linger

If you’re going to wear it solo go bigger, 4mm and up. With a pendant go smaller and longer, 2,5-3mm. I think ropes looks best with a pendant so i went 2,8mm 24 inches with a crucifix and a 22 inch 5mm curbed chain on top.

It all depends on the person , i recently bought a 3mm 14k 20inch figaro from jacoje and was very impressed. At first it was smaller than the picture but I love it . I found the 3mm to be a perfect size for me at least where it’s not too crazy flashy but not too small .

Go big or go home!!! Always order a size up, chains REALLY look so much bigger on screen so be aware! It is worth it and in time, the chain will pay it's self off if it's a high quality chain, (not something hollow ect.)

Absolutely true. I wanted a 4mm rope and decided to size up to a 5mm. Now, after a year, I want a 6mm or 6.5mm rope. It never ends! Lol I really want to sell this 5mm 24” rope from jacoje so I can get that 6.5mm. Always go up in size. But if it’s me, I say go up 2 sizes. Not 1 size.

Nice video. Totally almost every chain I got I wish I went up another size. Glad I got a 4mm Franco bracelet to realize it would be a bit small for a chain down the rd. Even though I like my 4mm bracelet. Perfect for work and not trying to flash to much

When I get some more money I really want to do business with this man.He stays on point when it comes to this gold!!!

absolutely. I wish I bought a 5.5 flat curb but I saved and kept it around that 1k mark eith a 4.5mm. I always want a slightly bigger version... guess I need to buy more chains lmao

Bought a 24in 3.5mm 14kt rope chain from Jacoje about a month ago and I love it. Everything he says about his products is right and he’s very informative. Now that the 2.9mm are in stock thinking of getting a 20in to layer with the one I already have

Last year I talked to Braden about the 3mm vs 3.5mm rope. Ended up following his suggestion about the larger size... it was a good decision! 👍 🔥

Nice sales tactic

Big facts brotha. I was initially going to get a 4mm rope but went with 5mm and I’m glad I did because in person it looks like the 4mm did on video.

Wowww look at that Shiney cross! In love

I suppose a great way to assure no mistakes are made period for the chain size would be to get a customer to go out and buy a cheap 20-25$ gold plated chain same diameter as the solid gold one theyr eyeing out and get them to wear that cheap gold plated for a day or 2 of the same size theyr looking to buy in solid gold so they can actually feel it on theyr neck and also look at the diameter of it first hand in a mirror. Just a suggestion, it saves time by doing it and eliminates confusion or doubt. Just an idea/ thought. It mite not be the same weight but were not talking weight here were talking size if i understood it correctly.

I'm definitely happy with my 3.5mm Jacoje rope chain. I thought it would be too big and flashy, but I got used to it quickly.

I have the 6.5mm Yacht Link. I love it! Took a minute to get used to 68 grams tho. Heavy around the neck.

This is accurate, on the fence between 4 and 5mm, as just an example anything 4 and under it’s much smaller then you expect. In my opinion anything over 5 or 6mm It comes in thick enough to meet most expectations. However I think it’s perfect to have a larger chain and having a smaller chain as well to decide what you wear by occasion. Good advice as always!

what size chain are you wearing in the beginning with the cross pendant?

What length chain do you have on?

You're absolutely correct. IMO, anything under 4.5mm looks like a sliver and I can't reconcile paying $1500+ on a feminine mm. And that 4.5mm should be a rope, milano or frano for presence. Any Cuban link should be around 7.5+. A lot of videos really mislead the inexperienced because they think the small mm will look decent enough but it won't. You'll be looking to upgrade and most likely will take a loss.
