Im confused bc i took a look at some chains from jacoje ,,, i took the gram weigh listed from the site of the chains im looking at and multiplied it by 36.. we still paying a good chunk over gold value lol
you will always pay a 40-50% mark up due to import fees and having the actual chain made. Let me give you an example you buy a 22 inch 3mm franco that weighs 29g from Jacoje. Chain has around $1,100 gold in it so you're paying what a 40% mark up. Now you buy a rope chain for $800 that weighs 6 grams with $219 of gold in it. Both 14kt. The rope chain is a 400% mark up. The franco from jacoje is a 40% mark up. Having a 40-50% mark up is completely normal and should be expected. Now when you go buy something from Macys or some other scam company they be selling chains at 400% mark up. Which is not okay.
Idk about larger sized chains but most things are marked up about 33% and with a 10% off sale most are ~27% markup. Not that unreasonable plus you’ll be hard pressed to find a better deal
Good lesson for the young man and Jacoje IS the place to buy. Super fair prices and awesome, responsive service. Thanks Braden and the Jacoje team! Thanks, Rich
I paid 45 dollars a gram for a 14k 2mm 20” Franco chain that weighs 13 grams. I got it from Harlem bling when they were doing a fire sale on gold so I got it for only a 10 dollar mark up which is pretty crazy. I also got a diamond angel pendant from there for 945 dollars and weighs 10.2 grams. The markup on that piece was pretty hefty but for vvs diamond jewelry you can’t really complain cause that’s cheap still. Just check out all your options before you buy and make sure you read the description for online jewelry. I personally would never buy from a big brand just because they always have a 500 percent markup and it’s crazy. So basically to buy jewelry you have to search for who offers better Jewelry for the lowest price then do research on that company to make sure they aren’t shady and if the reviews look shady move away from that immediately. Just some tips for new comers in the industry hope I could help the next person from getting scammed stay safe y’all.
An also charms do go well on a Figaro chain of the bail is welded/bonded to the charm . If the bail isn't welded to it yes it will flip over it's not the chain it's the bail..older u get the more u will learn .
No jeweler is going to give you market value without a mark up on price. Usually they calculate at 24k gold price to justify the price, plus a store mark up.
Nah man lol they're going off grams. You pay for grams. He explained it in this video. Gold is $36 a gram I have a 14k gold diamond cut rope about the exact same size but it's solid and its 27 grams, this chain was 6 grams lmaoooo my chain is 27.4 grams which comes out to roughly a bit over $900 ...if I ever need some quick cash I can scrap that bitch...this poor guy... I have a 4mm this looks to be a 3 or 4mm... hed get less than $200..ouch Honestly I'd rather wear some really nice plated or vermeil before I spend money on a hallow chain...I'll never in my life on hallow and it's not just cause they're a rip off lol they break or dent mad easy
it's processed and manufactured jewelry not bullion. ofc no one is giving spot price. 3x markup on spot at gold karat weight is generally an alright price for finished jewelry. anything like 4x or 5x and is a ripoff for people that don't know any better.
@seankiesling2054 you are not wrong about the grams but you're not 100% right. he's a victim of price gouging and unsure how they calculated his price but you got pure, 22k, 18k, 14k, 10k prices and that's a factor on top of the gram weight
@@reggielee2523 i never said he wasn't a victim... he probably had no idea how the jewelry industry works. Im just saying obviously no jeweler is gonna sell you a piece at its exact value there HAS to be a "upcharge" to make money...they're a business. They also don't base prices off 24k lol They base it off it's gram weight..yes purity plays a role but prices are basically set by gram weight...and then charge extra for labor and to turn a profit. Been selling jewelry for 12 years this what I do. And they don't charge more JUST BECAUSE something is 18k vs 14k. They charge more because of the gold pieces weight, yes purity plays a role, but it's grams grams grams 10k is 42% gold, the rest are alloys and junk metals to make a piece (stay away from 10) 14k is 58% gold the rest, again, alloys 18k is 75% gold and so on....and gold weighs more. Thus causing more gram weight. You'll never see someone selling a 18k piece with substantially less gram weight than a 14k with more gram weight strictly because it's 18k. If that's what you were trying to convey, I cant tell. If you have two exact pieces and both are the same size and ones 14k and ones 18k... the 18k is obvious going to be more gold content making it heavier, they're not going to charge more JUST BECAUSE the purity is higher... if that makes sense or if that's what you were trying to say
Get the jacoje I got my 24" 3mm diamond cut franco 18k it is the perfect size an weight, thought at first 3mm might be a lil to small but no its just right
24” 2mm 9g of 14k = 550 on his site plus tax and shipping probably about 6/650 ?? Every thing is more expensive in store cause you can get it then and there online you usually gotta wait a while 3/4 days to about a week so it’s all preference
jaxxon ripped me off hard bought a ordered a 2.5mm 22inch 14k rope and they sent me a 2mm rope i sent it back and sent them email pictures and video of me measuring it and they sent the 2mm back to me
Did you realize that the standard size measurement for D/C rope chains is before it the final cutting? So the chain was likely 2.5mm before being cut to shape, and afterwards it may have ended up being 2mm in average diameter. They may well have machined off more gold than necessary, but that's the only gripe you might have with them.
@@SnifferAndFrensit says on Jacoje that the chain can vary up to 0.5 mm because of the diamond cut. You should probably read the description before buying.
@@Mr.Lukas333 cram it dude I've already bought 2 chains from Jacoje and they have both been exactly the sizes I ordered even ordered from Harlem bling and it was the correct size.
This is the main reason Braden, Raquel and the Jacoje brand are thriving. They wouldn’t sell that garbage and if they did, the mark up wouldn’t be that high because they’re more fair and honest people than the typical scummy jeweler. I live right outside the diamond district in nyc so I’ve met many jewelers who are extremely shady in my life. I got a 22k 5mm 22 inch rope chain and matching 22k 6mm 7.5 inch rope bracelet from Jacoje during the 10% off sale and I paid $65 per gram which was extremely fair. That price is unheard of in the diamond district. I’ll always buy my jewelry from Braden, he’s earned my business for life.
Yeah its 650 for a 13 gram 3mm rope at Hawaii ropes ......same exact bbb stamp and supplier....jacoje has high prices ....stop Being fooled...these are the same exact ropes from peru ...no different than jacojes .....you buy a bigger chain with Hawaii ropes....youll save an easy 1000$ by avoiding jacoje....but some people just will not listen and will fucking pay more😂....cant fix stupid
Ok so they calculate it different is all , I just get total weight of chain then get my 58% of that which would be the total amount pure gold and times it by spot price per gram. @@limesmoto
So what would you charge? And what is your grams per dollar ratio essentially what is your mark up if I were to buy a 6 gram chain from you in 14 k at 36 dollars per gram ?
you will always pay a 40-50% mark up due to import fees and having the actual chain made. Let me give you an example you buy a 22 inch 3mm franco that weighs 29g from Jacoje.

...i sold him that chain 💪😎
You f*cked him real good then lol

I'm pretty sure all those '300' dollar 14k chains on etsy are cheaper than this or just gold filled even though they say solid gold
Come on we can easily tell that’s his brother

He’s got a jacoje pineapple on his neck
@@isenhouroutdoors8530 oh good stuff. I didn’t notice
Jacoje is on the high seas, doin' it big!
Never buy gold jewelry from a place that doesn’t show the gram weight. That’s most mall jewelry stores. Better off buying from a pawnshop

Try making that chain in your basement. Your are not making sense my friend, chains require labor and time to manufacture which costs money.
