Thank you bro, comments like this are extremely motivating

It’s perfect!

Hahaha I hear that, I could def two chain 3mm Franco’s

How’s it too much? That’s perfect size.

@@BlackPanther1SS I had a 4mm 24” and I just couldn’t wear it often comfortably. I feel the 3.5mm @ 20” is perfect for me 🙏🏼

@@itsjustiz 24in is too big bro lol

Thank you man, I appreciate it. I’m particular with my stuff so it’s good to know I’m not the only one walking around thinking about chains lol. Twinkle versus flash!! You summed it up perfectly, if I use that in future videos I’ll credit you. Def stay tuned, will have some more coming out

@@cksdigest No problem! You're definitely not alone! For me, I bought my first gold item last year (a ring) and since then I've been wanting matching pieces. I looked at a ton of options, and decided that despite the cost, I'd love a solid piece that will last a lifetime (hopefully). I'm usually very frugal, so to "earn" the necklace, I'm using it as my reward if I start going to the gym and go at least 3 times per week until the end of the year. The heavy link just caught my eye in a way that ropes and other chains simply can't, and now I think about it every time I work out haha. It just the right amount of flashiness without looking tacky, and this video is really helping to sell me on it further (especially with the HD video quality).

@@justblayne4533glad to hear it! That’s a great perspective, to earn it. So when I had this chain, I wore it in the gym a few times and those were the moments where I didn’t want to sell it. It was tucked in but popped so much…it was so noticeable. Very enjoyable.

Thank you! I’m trying to get better at providing both the data and b rolls to support. I’ve considered the WG variant, the heavy link might look the best in WG

@@cksdigest I’ve had the heavy gold in yellow and because of that major shine and presence on the flat surfaces, it felt super loud for my particular taste for a daily wear. I haven’t taken my WG since I got it. Just waiting for him to send me a boss cross to match.

@@el_heff4272that will look 🔥 WG is so noticeable yet sleek and reserved, you have the right idea

Will do, nice setup too. 18k at least for Franco was a big difference for me but it’s hard to tell with the diamond cuts refracting so much light. It’s more apparent with the plain. I’ve never had the 18k rope but Braden says it’s not much different

They were both 22”, that sounds like a good set up. The dc is pretty sparkly while the plain has a shine similar to the Miami Cuban. I love the way the plain showcases 18k, I have a 3mm plain now

Just posted a review of the 3.2 heavy link!

Glad you enjoyed it, it’s important to find the perfect chain and wear it everyday. The bond grows stronger as the years pass 🙌🏼

That’s a good point, it depends on the location and access to different chain styles

Nice! That’s a sweet chain. So it’s hard for me to say because I haven’t handled 14 & 18K WG at the same time to compare. I’ve heard that 18K WG can be slightly “grey” in comparison to 14K, which seems logical given the increased percentage of rich yellow color. If such was true, I would want 14K (I like 18K YG bc of the color). However, if you’ve had the two and feel that such isn’t true and that the additional weight or prestige of owning 18K is better, I would def say go for it. You want to wear something you’re proud of. I’ve seen examples of yellow peering through on 18K WG rings but rings are more exposed than chains, so I’m not how it will wear over time. For length…I struggle with that too. The 20” looks short and circular while the 22” is slightly long. 21” is probably perfect but not really an option. With your height, either of the two lengths will look great. The 3.5mm Franco is also versatile, it should lay well at either length.

You are correct, 18KT WG is slightly grey compared to 14KT, which I prefer. I’ve had both and prefer the duller grey look of 18KT WG, in addition to the additional weight (~+9g) and prestige. I only do WG jewelry anyways, so I can’t comment on YG 😊 I can afford to pay the difference for the 18KT chain, so might as well go for it. I’d most likely regret not doing the exchange. It would cost me more in the long run if I was to keep, then sell the 14KT chain and buy the 18KT chain later. Same with me for the 20” length: it looks kind of short and circular/rounded on my neck and build, especially with thicker chains. The extra 2” length with the ~1” drop should do the trick.

@@cksdigest I ended up exchanging 14KT for 18KT and stuck with the 22” length (almost a month ago). Absolutely no regrets. I like the added heft/weight of 18KT. I’ve had many chains and I love this one more than any other. The honeymoon has not worn off. 18KT WG hits different. And I prefer plain over diamond cut Franco.

For sure when it comes to YG. I love the 18K richness. I also wear steel and some WG, the 18K YG provides a satisfying contrast

How so? That rope weighed 28.5 grams, which is fairly close to what he sells now for the 4mm 14k 22”

@@cksdigest Braden said the 4mm rope comes in at around 3.7 so not sure why yours would be over 4? Maybe the calipers are a bit off. That would make sense bc the 3.5mm Franco is actually closer to 3.8 (not over 4mm)- in both cases ur chains are about .4mm thicker than they should be so I think the measuring instrument is slightly off.

@@cksdigest I appreciate the review otherwise btw, just ur measurements of the thickness threw me off a bit

@@chillwill120 thank you for the feedback. After some review…it’s possible they were off but I’m still not sure. The Franco was no slouch and I recall measuring the rope multiple times with a similar result, but that rope was also purchased in 2018. I’ll follow up if I can measure them again.

@@cksdigest It's totally possible that the manufacturer Brayden uses changed things up in the past 5 years (or maybe Brayden uses a new manufacturer). I purchased a 3mm rope from Brayden and found it way too small. I wanted to exchange it for a larger size and was trying to figure out if I should go with the 4mm or the 5mm. The one you have seems like a great size but just wanted to be sure it wasn't actually the 5mm (that comes in at slightly over 4 after diamond cuts). This is why I'm quibbling over a few 10ths of a mm, lol.

Absolutely. Any Rope and Franco combo looks incredible. I previously wore a 4mm rope and 2mm Franco, sounds weird but they worked bc of the similar shine

I thought it was for buying what you actually like lol

​@@ayoa3892facts! His post was lame af.

@@ayoa3892who said that?

has to do with how wide your neck is

Yeah a 20” ended up being a choker on me. Would be nice to have a bigger guy making these videos, Jacoje seems to be the closest we’ve got but he’s so a different build.

I did not bc of the purity difference, but I think they would look great together

What are the 3 chains?

Really hard to say. I would need both in 3.5mm to truly know. For YG, the diamond cut refracts the light, but the plain showcases the 18k color brilliantly. Sometimes, since I wear a watch and earrings, I feel like the plain 3 or 3.5mm would look classic. If all I wore was the chain, I would want diamond cut. I think I would also want diamond cut if it was WG.

Great feedback! I wear a platinum wedding band and watch, so maybe I’ll just stick with the plain Franco. I would have to outlay $ to trade to plain WG for diamond cut, which is no big deal to me.

Buy Plain!! I’m return diamond cut shiny but too sharp .I’m recommended plain same shine and more comfortable

Thank you! You will love it, it’s such a versatile chain, I never felt the need to upgrade to a 5mm (granted I’m a smaller build).

That’s the “pairing” chain I added later in the video

My apologies man, not long after I made this video I decided to put it up for sale. I knew I was going to sell it but I didn’t think it would sell so fast, which didn’t give me time to create a quality review.

@@cksdigestwhy did you sell it?
