BUY A CHAIN LIKE MINE: ebay.us/utA3Il
Yo ass scamming. That chain is over priced by $4000
im southeast asian from my mums side
and all we have is 22k - 24k
i was luckily enough to be gifted a 24k chain and i absolutely love the tone of color and guess what.. i wear it everyday too 👍
Nice. The color of 24k just hits different!
Same. Necklace and bracelet. Have been wearing for years and they still are in great condition
Can I ask what the size and weight of your chain is? Considering ordering one from online jewelers in Thailand. Thanks!
Not buying or wearing anything lower than 18K.
Me neither. "I'm allergic" lol
Tf? Why not?
@@ajlive589people out slide of America and Europe don’t consider low purity gold as real gold
@@ajlive589 Because 22k is approximately 91,7% real gold / 18k is approximately 75% real gold ! But 14k is approximately 58% and 10k is approximately 41%.
As you can see here at 10k, most of the metal isn’t gold. Why buying gold if most of it isn’t gold? 👎🏾
@@ajlive589 14k might be acceptable since more than half is gold… if you get a very good price for 14k, why not? But to me 18k is the minimum, and i avoid something lower. 18k or more is more authentic, better color !!
I don’t wear jewelry like that! But i do have 4 9 fine gold bars and absolutely love gold! Nothing beats 24k gold color its the absolute best!
I love it. The 24k color just pops!
It's orange lol and will be scratched to shit in a day
I thought you would go to one that’s called Kim Hung in Sacramento, I barely heard bout that place from another video! I’m glad you found a 24k gold chain somewhere at least 🥳😎
Yeah. I been to that store. lol
I find 14k jewelry actually more brittle because it’s harder so it breaks and snaps more easily. Pure gold is softer but not that soft, you have to heat and beat it with a hammer.
Oh wow. I never thought of that but then again I had 14k jewelry break as well.
Naw bro 24k gold is so soft,you can squish it with a little too much pressure
All factual, keep on shining!
Thank you. Stay blest
Thanks for posting, left a thumb up rating for the educational aspect of the concise clip. By the way, most of my jewelery is pure 24k.
Thank you for checking it out. That's awesome! I love the color of it so much. It's unlike anything else.
Amazing video, thank you! I wish to make myself a chain just like yours, which is solid right? I am an apprentice, do you know if I should start from solid blocks and solder the links or should I start from a thick chain and then carefully complete the blocks (then remove the extra)? People will only make it hollow on video
24k Magic in the air 😎
Head to toe so player. Hands up.
Very informative and interesting
Thank you! I did a lot of research before purchasing 24k jewelries.
Awesome!! 👍🏼
Yee. Thanks
Yo that box design is nice as hell!
I love the box design. But the anchor part of it always gets twisted.
I recently bought a 24k pebble design chain and i love it
Nice!!!
When a star exploded it is raining gold coins.
Like when the sun went through into supernovae and a massive gold coins raining down. 😅
If anyone plans to buy gold for wealth preservation do not buy jewellery opt for bullion!!
Bullions are cool and good investment. But I wanted to wear my gold.
I’m a jeweler and I alloy to 20k for rings that get scratched and bent more easily. Alloyed properly, 20k is near same color but can be buffed with compound. You can’t buff 24k and 22k is a stretch, because it will grind in and discolor the gold. You have to burnish 22 to 24k so more time consuming. I wear 24k around my neck and wrist.
That's nice. I gotta get a ring custom made. I think I would go with 20k rather than 24. I'm afraid it would just get deformed when worn on my hand. Wrist and neck should be ok with 24k jewelry.
Most American gold is 14k or 18k. 10k is usually more towards “urban” products such as over-sized Cuban chains or diamond-studded pendants.
Indian jewelers will often carry 22k as well as 24k jewelry. The 22k is visibly more yellow than 18k, and both the red and the yellow are strong enough for most uses (although 18k red gold looks better in my opinion).
Chinese jewelers make all kinds of items in 24k, but it is soft and expensive. In addition, it seems like white gold is an American/European thing. I lived in China, and I never saw it. I have been working with Indian jewelers, and they similarly do not deal with white. White gold only comes in 20k or lower, with most 18k or 14k. Of all the types, only white gold looks good in 10k.
I agree.
As a American, It's extremely hard trying to find 18k gold in America from my experience.
Go to any place that sells jewelry here. And most of it is 10-14k like he said. We are extremely cheap with the production of gold jewelry. Don't like using much of it. And like making stuff as thin as possible. Then Complain about how fragile gold is. Then mark in up 3000% over top of spot.
We do the same with silver. Except we do at have it at 925. Or 92.5% silver. But again, it will be fragile, weigh only 3 grams at most. And cost like anywhere from $30-$100.Be very thin, then Complain about how fragile silver is.
We aren't serious with our jewelry. It's just all for show.
That knock out was funny
KO 🤕😭😅
I’ve worn 24k rings and chains everyday for years. Never had any issues at all
That's awesome. It depends on how you wear it. Like in the video you can't just wear your 24k jewelry in a boxing match lol.
Finally someone said it!
I have a 99.9 fine silver ring I wear all the time( I suspect it's slightly off like 99.0 or 98.0%. For certain reasons and observations.) and I get the same thing. "It's a lie because silver that fine is too soft for jewelry and will break." i see arguments like this all the time online, along with the belief that 24k gold jewelry is impossible.
My ring is like 20 years old and completely intact, and looks almost perfect. Not crooked or anything. Silver is tougher than gold. But still treated like it's extremely fragile.
I keep saying to people it's only that fragile if you make it that way. And that the key is to MAKE IT THICKER, AND MORE SOLID. And don't beat it up carelessly.
Our jewelry is often made super thin. Tbh, we're cheap. That's why it's so fragile.
We want to take 0.7 grams of gold or silver. And FORCE it to stretch into a entire necklace and wonder why it broke. You get what you pay for.
If you want a sturdier purer piece. USE MORE GOLD OR SILVER. The thicker it is, the stronger it will be. Yes it's more expensive to make. But you are exaggerating how soft these metals are because you aren't trying to make it sturdy. You want to use as little as possible. So you can mark it up as high as you want.
I agree with you 💯
Yes is too soft the reason why it’s alloyed, but it depends on how you take care of your gold pieces. I have 21k, 22k and 24K ring, bracelet and necklace. It’s popular around Asia I got mine in Saudi Arabia, Dubai and Thailand. Been wearing it for 6 years now and still in good condition.
N
Exactly. I think also the reason why American jewelers make 14k and 10k is because of the cost of gold.
I just don't like it how they say we don't sell 24k because it's too soft as if it's impossible to make a 24k jewelry.
18k to 24k jewelries look way nicer to me.
Bull shit 24k is not soft I own a bhat box necklace 32.7 grams I would like to see you try to bend it and not hurt your fingers
@@mysteriousperson1919 Gold is malleable face it, I’m talking about gold pieces in 22k and up being easily scratched not bent. Definitely, you can’t bend a 24k if it’s thick, but have you tried bending the S hook lock? See how easy it is for you to manipulate the metal? Try bending a 2mm thick 24k, and 18k gold and you’ll see, we have a workshop and worked with gold for years. You can even pound a 24k gold and turn it into a gold leaf that’s how soft or pliable the metal is.
@@xinghuali2842 My m shaped clasp on my 24k baht necklace is not easy to ben I tried it my self. The same as my 24k franco I purchased from 9999 gold jewelry I can barely even bend the clasp because it's hard and hurts your fingers.
@@mysteriousperson1919 there are factors why you can’t bend then, specially the thickness. But that doesn’t erase that fact that 24k is soft. All goldsmith would agree with that, textbooks even Google would support that fact despite your experience with your jewelry pieces.
Nice chain bro
Thanks.
Yo what’s ur take on 24k plated on sterling sliver it’s 3 mm is that to thin to wear every day
I can't recommend any plated jewelry. They always turn green on my skin. If you want gold jewelry that is not too expensive, go get 10k or 14k jewelry. But if you really want a really really cheap gold looking jewelry, check out some gold Filled jewelry. I have one and it doesnt turn green.
I got my ring from Thailand and I love it
Nice. Thailand got good 24k gold jewelry designs.
How long is the one you have on?
I'm looking at a 22inch 22k I'm worried that I won't like it because it's too short
the chain was just 20 inches. about 21 inches including the m shaped lock.
I wanna go buy more gold jewelry cause of this video lmao
Go get some more #GOLD
Just don't go around hateing on average people 10k n 14k gold and buy what u want girl more power to you.
Selling and purchasing gold jewelry is a scam in western countries. In middle east and east gold means money. You can cash it whenever you want according to the weight of the piece not according to how its condition is cause they immediately melt it for the next piece that they want to make with the same piece. Also there are amazing rules about pricing a piece in Asian countries. For instance there is a standard service in Iran which easily you can check name of the workshop and the artist who made the piece by sending sms to a specific official number
That's what's up. In America, they Mark up their gold jeweleries really high even though the purity is very low.
Is Vermont natural yellow gold the best in the world. From the refinery it glows yellow, does not shine yellow. I have read articles about this, is it true? Some gold jewelry I noticed glows a warm hypnotic yellow color. 24 karat natural gold prospector.
Sorry, I'm not sure what Vermont is.
24k gold is the best in the world
@@ThomasofAllTrades Vermont is the land of Oz for natural gold prospectors
is it a good idea to buy a 24k watch or should i go for a lower karat
Maybe an 18k watch would be better. The 24k would get scratched a lot. But it's up to you. You just have to be careful not to bang it on things.
I have to 24K gold bracelets & 1 24K gold solid ring .
I wear it every day..
Nice.
And it's scratched to shit lol
@@GOODFELLA-uk6rz lol. It can scratch easily. Just gotta be careful on hitting on hard surfaces but even if it was scratched, it's still gold and can be easily polished. 😉
I bet it looks terrible lol not one inch of polish 24k can't hold polish at all maybe for a day tops
@@GOODFELLA-uk6rz watch out y’all, it’s broke haters in here!
Can you tell me what is the exact name of the design you are wearing. Some call it Asian block. Thai bhat. But when i search with these names i don't get a picture of this design in Google. Please help me with design name. Thanks a lot 🙏
Box and anchor chain. If you search it on ebay, you'll find that design.
@@ThomasofAllTrades Finally. Thanks so much, Thomas. I can now stop searching the google with multiple names.
@@mohanlakshmisha you're welcome.
My take is that I should get a 24k pendant but an 18k chain for it
That's not a bad idea.
no good 18k n 24k color different it will be obvious
@@aubreyaquino1808 slightly. I do the same & it still looks great!
Do you think a 1 baht, 23k, 2mm Franco chain would hold up to everyday wear, never taking it off?
It should be ok. If it breaks you could always get it repaired.
How many grams is your necklace? I have the same design as yours.
Nice. 75.
I’d rather wear 20 karat gold but I don’t wanna get shot by wearing something that costs a lot of money or even stabbed by a crazy person 🙄 people will kill you for anything honestly sometimes I hate humans 😑
Damn that's sad. Be careful out there.
@@ThomasofAllTrades yeah thanks bro
@@ThomasofAllTradesreally nice gold chain tho bro
Hi how many baht is your chain?
75 grams. So I guess around 5 baht.
Pure is pure.
Thats right
And you aint puro pinche myote
what you say is all true look at king tut mask
What about a ring? Would 24k gold be solid enough to wear it every day?
Yes! But it has to be solid. I knew a mail man who wears a solid 24k wedding band everyday to work.
@@ThomasofAllTrades I own an 18.75g 24k ring. Do you think it's solid enough to wear it often?
@@marlonbeltran1135 that's a solid ring. it should be pretty durable for you to wear it everyday.
In our country, we wear only 24k 😅😅😅southasia all wear only 24k chain or anything
What country is it? In America they usually sell 10k, 14k and sometimes 18k.
Whats considered too thin?
If the chain is like the one I was pulling in the video. But I don't think they make any 24k that thin. When you go shopping for 24k at a store, You can check the thinnest they got and just avoid that.
Thailand 23K ... 96.5%
that's nice. 18k and up have really nice yellow color.
Where can I buy 24k asian gold in the i.e
Pardon my ignorance but where's i.e?
It's the inland empire like riverside CA or Hemet CA etc like 1 hr away from LA
@@remedy334 oh. I'm not sure. You could look up vietnamese jewelers in your area.
@@remedy334 find a reason to drive to LA Chinatown and hit up Ta Jewelers.
I heard 24k wears down overtime. Is that true?
It will never tarnish but yes. Wear and tear can happen to any jewelry 24k or not.
@ThomasofAllTrades coming from a Hispanic I love 24k, I use to rock 10k & 14k until my Asian friend put me on to 24k ever since then I sold my lower karat gold and have gotten nothing but 24k.
@@mysteriousperson1919 nice. I love the color of 24k. You can tell the difference even between 22k and 24k.
Where can I buy solid thick 24K chains
I said it in the video. Vietnamese jewelers.
pa shout out po
ok =]
Yea, WAY too soft!!!
It's soft but still a nice jewelry. You just can't be rough with it.
first
Nice. Ang Ang bilis ah! lol
Long story short.
There is no profit in sell pure gold cause your paying for what you get.
In gold alloys you’re paying more for less gold Period.
They still can add some mark up for the gold and they get discount from their suppliers but a lot of American jewelers sell 14k to 18k because they could sell less gold and get more money.
shout out pls
Whoever is reading this I just want you guys o know that gold is NOT MADE BY NO DAMN EXPLODING STAR!😂 god made gold, sliver and bronze! It’s his currency! Don’t believe this man about some star blaming up 🤦🏾♂️
Gold coming from the explosion of a supernova is fact-based, scientific, empirical evidence. Facts which you certainly don't have for your god.
I mean...you're right. God did make everything, including stars that could explode and produce gold through a process called nuclear fusion.
Gold was formed by an exploding supernova star and it released trillions of gold pieces with silver, lead, and uranium in the outterspace before the planet was formed. Lead used to be gold, silver, and when uranium stops becoming radioactive is become lead. Gold and silver are perfect alloys together.
@@ryanvv9349 still reading fan fiction novels eh.... Let me educate: A fact, by our interpretation, is something proven/witnessed-- who the hell do you know has witnessed an exploding star reproduce gold? It takes an insignificant temperature, far less than the sun, to melt gold. Anything close to a quarter of the heat from the sun would completely evaporate the metal. You took someone's theory and decided to label it fact because it appeals to your ignorance. We can't even travel beyond the moon or there successively... Why would you accept a person's propaganda about an exploding star...? And if it was from an exploding star don't you think traces of it would been photographed on the surface moon and other planets? Gold is no more than the dirt of paradise. And all Perfect praise is for God Almighty.
Bro, I have that exact same Versace shirt.
Lol nice.
My girlfriend says she does not like gold, foolishness..
Lol
I used to like silver only. Until I sold A LOT of my old silver jewelry and the value was close to nothing.
But with gold, the value would pretty much stay the same or higher.
@@ThomasofAllTrades silver jewlery you get nothing is right. Gold coin bullion is the right way, but that 24k cuban is sweet sweet, i got a nice 22k chain and love it. Give it 20 more years and gold will be costly 24k is the way
@@doublejump6578 I completely agree.
It's not just for make it harder tho my point is I don't know anyone that can afford 24k gold not one person I make 60k a yr n have 3 kids 5i take care of so unfortunately I can't afford 18k 22k or 24k shit I hardly can afford to get a decent size chain in 14k they are thousands of dollars ether way even a decent size 10k solid chain for less than a thousand so why are you assuming everyone makes 500k a yr?
Dude are you ok. This is your second comment and it really isn't that deep.
@@desiree7633 right? When I read this I was going to say I got a pair of 22k studs for $110CAD and another pair of 42k earrings for 13,000INR (around$225CAD)
Why americans are so fucking scared of silver. If you like chains on neck or as a bracelet you can still have super fat ass chain for 1k$ max. Silver goes up 🔝 too. Gold and silver ale like a Bonnie and Clyde always together.
NOT EVERYONE CAN AFFORD 22K 24K GOLD OR EVEN 18K SO ALL OTHERS LIIKE 10K 14K IS FAKE ? NOT EVERYONE HAS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO SPEND ON A CHAIN WTF MAN
Lol.
With the power of financing I could
You just gotta stop buying off jewelry stores cause they rip off people with 14k and 10 k and they don’t sell it close to actual price , 14 is. Like 34$ a gram but they sell like 200$ a gram . Buy in an auction like eBay or from Mene jewelry
@@Luisrrr508 I don't like the look of pure gold nobody in America does it looks like shit unless it's a coin pendant or pamp
@@GOODFELLA-uk6rz my mom own 4.5kg of gold in total. She gift me 24k earrings when i was a baby, it looks beautiful. Now I'm looking for my first 24k bracelet.
Yes, you can buy 24k gold with good financing. I save about 80% of my salary monthly.
