Thanks that's what I'm about. Can't be spreading lies. Just non biased reviews.
Thanks for informing.. I also have several rope chains, only one of which is significantly impacted size-wise by the diamond cuts, and it was still only .3 off. Good jewelers like Lirys advertise a 4.7 mm and sell a 4.7 mm, why is it okay to call it a 5 if it’s literally never once been 5mm? In your case here, it’s far far beyond anything reasonable. Props to you for checking yo shit
His website says the mm changes after the diamond cut process. You paid for the weight & that's what matters. You want the bigger look without the bigger price tag.

It's does say that up to .5mm difference not over 1.2mm that's more than double what he says should be the variant so yes I expected it to be bigger in diameter. But you are correct that the weight matched the price. My complaint was his claims of up to .5mm difference is not accurate and he should probably change that.
The weight is all that matters tbh...its actually better if is thinner than advertised because that means that this chain was made with more twists. Therefore is stronger than other ropes with the same weight of gold. But i get your point, youre looking for presence as well. I think the 6mm would actually be the look youre going for. It will be around 5.4 mm.

I agree I never will buy hollow or semi hollow. And jacoje is fine jewlery I will probably try the 6mm when he gets in. You make a good point about being tougher the way its made and I like that. But personal opinion and mabe I'm wrong but do you think the mm should be updated if they are alot thinner than quoted?

@@ubercajun youre not wrong, im sure that kind of disappointed you. But this is a common problem with ropes thats why sometimes youre gonna see some suppliers selling 2. 7mm, 2.8mm 2.9 mm on this style. The problem here is that they go based on weight. So they were all ment to be 3mm but they came out too far away from the standard 3mm. Due to that they will not advertise it as 3mm weight. It happens often, but shit the weight and your money is there on that bracelet and at the end thats what counts the most.

@ubercajun I agree they should be advertised as 4.5 if they’re coming in closer to 4mm. I purchased a 5mm 22 inch 22k rope chain and it’s definitely 4mm but the weight is correct. Also grabbed a 6mm 7.5 inch 22k rope bracelet and that’s 5mm. Again, the weight is correct. Just recently bought a 3mm 22 inch 22k franco chain and that is spot on, maybe even 3.2mm and the weight is on point. Seems like the ropes are always gonna come in at least a half millimeter smaller than advertised but typically closer to a full millimeter under what’s stated. Considering what I paid for beautiful, solid 22k pieces, I’m not gonna complain.

Ethan thank you for a great honest video! I truly understand that when we purchase a piece of jewelry online without seeing it, we truly are looking for a certain style and thickness. This rope style chain varies a lot as far as thickness. I truly agree that it should be advertised for what it actually is. Perhaps a different style of chain might be more accurate to the width you would like. Great video!!
Same thing happened to Me I bought the 6.5 yacht link it’s actually a 6mm. I decided to keep it because I like the chain but wish I was aware of the difference. And it’s not stated on the website that the Yacht link will possibly be off up to .5 mm

Weight is the main thing. Gold in Value by purity and weight.
Same thing happened to me man i purchased a 18KT 5mm rope bracelet as well and it always seemed way smaller than 5mm. I finally purchased a caliper found it was measuring around 3.8-4.1 the weight was right but the size was not .
@ubercajun
Жыл бұрын
Yeah its starting to seem common I wonder if he just doesn't care.
Are you sure the calipers are calibrated? Also if you squeeze the calipers on the chain harder in some areas you will get different measurements because you are compressing the links closer together. The rope chains are made of multiple small pieces. I don’t think they bracelet is that much smaller than advertised like you are making it out to be.

Ok you realize tried truth has over 40k spent with Braden right?? So he's obviously satisfied and just a heads up with ropes you have to have 2 hands and a really flat surface to get a good reading with the calipers since ropes aren't a uniform shape.

@kalani4ever359 “shady af” is a bit of an exaggeration there chief. Also, HRC was getting ropes from LA because he couldn’t get the Peruvian ropes and the difference in quality was noticeable. That’s why he has better prices. I purchased a 50 gram 22k rope chain from Jacoje for $3,000 after a 10% discount. That’s $60 per gram for 22k. HRC isn’t beating that price. 💯

Calipers wont be acurate when your doing it with one hand, use both your hands and also put on a flat surface, if easier measure where the clasps is and deduct 1mm, you weren't using your tool right (pause) lol... ☝️🤟✌️

@beezeal2042 yes my 18kt necklace is only .2 under 3mm the bracelet was way smaller than the up to .5mm difference it probably came from shop that way. It's mass production so I'm sure quality control varies. It's mostly the weight. As long as that is there that's the main thing. Mabe the next batch he orders will be closer to the quote. Other than that's ill have to go up in size for the presence I wanted. I feel he should measure them when they get in and update what the mm are so you done have to wonder. That would be easier since we can't go shop there in person and see it. Also if someone doesn't use calipers how will they know if they are under or not.
