Owning pieces from both companies, they both have their highs and lows. I think Jacoje pendants cannot be beat. They are solid heavy pieces with full detail that I really havent seen anyone else replicate. Im not a huge fan of open back pendants, so I love how Jacoje pendants have solid backs. With the rise in gold prices this fall/winter, expect to see most jewelers raise their gram rates. TBH Hawaii Rope Chains still offers the best value per gram across the board- as well as free shipping and no tax. Just do your research and spend your money wisely!

Thanks for your honest opinion bro as always 🫡

I shop with both. Saints definitely went up in price recently. I’ve had faster shipping with jacoje but both are pretty fast. Positive experience with both

This was a very good review/comparison. I've gotten pieces from both and have been very satisfied. Hard to believe Braden would ghost you like that. That's not good. ESPECIALLY after that famous story he likes to tell about a "highly ranked" college football player who did him dirty when Braden was getting started with his business. Anyway, enjoy your channel & keep going bro!

I appreciate the comment man. Ya, I'm not sure why he exactly I did it, I got the receipts but I don't want to put it out there cause there's still some pieces of his I wanna get 😆

Nice 💯👍

Both have good pieces. I prefer saints gold, they have a rewards program and clearance section. I’ve been ghosted by Jacoje on numerous occasions, I only shop there for pendants now, Haven’t found any one comparable in that department

I've only bought from jacoje. A 7mm flat curb bracelet. 5.5mm flat curb necklace 24" And a 1.2 mm franco 18" All were perfect.

Iprefer Saints Gold, but just because they always have what im looking for. But to be fair if you get the same pieces that you have from Jacoje at Saints Gold they will measure the same. 5mm rope chains for example. They are the same. Im going to start shopping at Jacoje now because SGC raised their prices imo way too much.SGC 60-62 $ per 14k gram. Jacoje 56-57 $ per gram still. If Jacoje raises their prices to 60-62 $ per gram, then im going back to Saints gold lol I hope Saints gold go back to 56-57$ pet gram again :)

What would you go with, Jacoje 2.5 Cuban 11.3 grams or a 2.7 Cuban 11.8 grams from saints gold. Saint gold is 50 dollars more total. Do you think the .2 mm will make much a difference? Curious what you would do. Thank you, Great video.

Braden says in a bunch of videos, his chains are measured before they are diamond cut. Why, IDK, but he is transparent about that! His figurope Is the millimeter shown but also a lot heavier than the other ropes, so there is definitely transparency in how he measures his jewelry. Not to mention all the white gold on all that prism cut stuff you have, can only be replaced by the factory once it wears away so that is a definite negative for anything prism cut.

@@balltmax are they daily wear or do you only wear them on occasion? I’ll bet you don’t wear them all day every day and if that was all you had you would be stuck in the situation I mentioned. You seem to wear those Cubano links more than anything or ice link or whatever it’s called. And you said you don’t watch his videos because his voice is too loud so how can you assume to have an opinion when you have no information? I’m not pressing bro. I’m just asking? obviously this is all subjective

every piece i have ordered from jacoje has been short and light. i spent almost 10 grand. I still go back due to quality. cant find anything to compare. where ever he gets the product, it is made nice. I have tried to find the people who actually build the jewerly. i can not find any info .

Bro everyone knows jacoje gets his rope links from PERU and the mm widths is PRE CUT! meaning they take a non diamond cut 6mm rope and then apply the diamond cut and it will cut 0.5 mm off. BUT he sells it by the gram weight.. so you’re not being skimped out on anything. If you want a “6mm” exact then get his 6.5mm rope and that will measure You should know this bro!! Most Italian links measure after the diamond cut process, but the Peru ropes are better quality and cut after

I would agree with you but there are companies that sell DC Ropes at true mm widths, you should know that. Also, it's not just the Ropes either that measured under

Has anyone compared the Francos between both sites? Saints is way lighter on theirs. I watched a jacoje video of him comparing his Franco with another and he shows how his are much tighter link. So saints would be the route to go if you can't afford jacoje's heavier Franco. But imo, i would never waste money on that longer loop Franco style.

Saints Gold has the tight francos too, Jacojes Chains slightly weigh more than everybody usually. For example Saints Golds 4mm plain Franco at 18 inches weighs 48.9g where Jacojes weighs slightly more at 51.5g. I don't know who sells those elongated links but most reputable Jewelry Companies don't sell those

​@@JP15161 Just be careful if you go to saints gold. I was going to buy from one of the two and i compared their Francos. Saints is much lighter, so they must be using a lower quality Franco with stretched links. They're also more expensive in general at saints (with 14k) unless you have a 10% off. I would never buy without that. I just ended up buying a 4mm box chain from saints gold in 18k because the 18k prices of both sites were similar and the weight of the chains on both sites were only a 0.8 difference at 14k. Jacoje doesn't stock an 18k box so i couldn't do that direct comparison. So even though you're not buying from jacoje, I would still use him to compare weights and prices with everyone else because his weights and prices (at least as advertised) are the best specs I believe.
