I just started watching your videos about a week ago and find them highly informative. I was totally unaware of the 2 designs in one for a franco. I've only see people show the arrow shaped side. Thanks for explaining that.

Thanks for the video, it’s good to see how they look in person. Would it be possible for you to make a video using the 5mm Franco and a pendant, along with a longer/thicker Cuban? I am curious to see how it would stack

That splitting of the screen with each chain on was a great idea. You can see both chains on the same person as a solo piece. Great for comparing. 👍🏽

I was the fence with a 7mm Cuban or a 5 mm Franco. both around the same price. I am leaning towards the Cuban now. The Franco is a odd chain. Thanks for the video.
@AustinCameron11 ай бұрын
Yeah when the Franco gets larger it starts to remind me of the Cuban. Thinking about a 7mm Mariner with a 3-5mm Franco.

Nice, after seeing this video I may upgrade my 5.1mm Franco into a 6mm Franco when I get tired of it. Francos are definitely an acquired taste like people say.
@FromADistanceJewelry2 жыл бұрын
So glad the video helped! Yes, they are without a doubt and acquired taste! For anyone ever thinking of buying a Franco for the first time I would tell them to start small just in case they end up not liking it LOL

Thanks for doing these videos. That 6mm is a heavy beast. I like it, but weight increase over the 5 is significant- not worth the cost difference IMO. Maybe 5.5= split the diff!

@@FromADistanceJewelry What are your thoughts on a 4mm vs 5mm DC Franco bracelet? Is it worth to get the 5mm? I’m more user to link chains than rounded ones.
@FromADistanceJewelry2 жыл бұрын
@@johnjames2817 hey bro, that's a great question! I think it's more along the lines of if you like more bling or not. If you want something that's classic and calm I would say to go with the regular franco. If you want something more eye-catching then I would definitely say to go with the diamond cut. Keep in mind that the diamond cut pieces that are out there though sometimes can irritate skin or clothing so that might be something to consider. As far as whether you should get a four or a five I would personally (it depends on your size and style) like a four because it is a rounded bracelet. If it was a flat chain bracelet I would probably do a five but because you have that thickness I think that makes up for the extra millimeter not being there, hope that makes sense!

i have owned many francos the francos look so much different solid vs hollow and diamond cut vs plain. I have A dc yellow 4mm 26inch and a 3mm white plain franco both solid but I started w the hollows. I have had 4 or 5 francos now I think 5 but I cannot remember has some others as well.
