ACTUAL Jeweler Reviews SHOP GLD Cuban Link Chain! You Wont BELIEVE What they're made out of!

[@djcarroll9369]

I actually purchased a GLD chain about 7 or so years ago when I didn’t really have the money to purchase real jewelry, and I’m going to be honest.. I wore that thing basically every day for 2 years straight and it never faded on me. Which was crazy to me because i owned a plated pendant once and that thing faded in less then a month. Like he said, they make nice pieces especially if it’s just something you want to wear to the club or on the weekends. I respect that he is keeping it real and not just hating on the company because that’s what most other jewelers would do.

[@PocketUau]

The best option for these are those made of double plated silver, so you get weight and are actually wearing precious metals. €200 gets you a pretty great chain that lasts quite a few years, and silver won’t tarnish under gold.

[@lunisic]

@@PocketUauthats dumb. If u want to wear silver buy silver. If u want to wear gold buy gold. Theres no reason to buy fake shit if u cant afford gold then u buy silver.

[@Ground_Up813]

Great video and much respect for not absolutely destroying this chain in the review. I have one of your GOS pieces and looking at this thing VS what I got from you I can definitely say your GOS Cubans are top tier

[@jonallseitz4895]

I can't lie, I got gifted a chain from shop GLD, and I wear it none stop it's a rope chain and it fools everyone when I'm swimming or out balling it's looks really good light gold color to it, showers and all for two years same exact color

[@XtraCryspy]

Their pieces are perfect for large events and clubs when you’re usually concerned about an expensive piece breaking or possibly getting robbed, you only out a couple hundred rather than a couple grand, put the real pieces in a safe and bring out occasionally

[@WaveLordLuis]

I worked as a metal finisher for a few years and one of my applications was nickel plating and man it’s terrible for human skin in many cases causing irritation and exposure can damage your lungs and other organs and is known to be cancerous. Main reasons why nickel is used in most applications is for corrosion resistance and adding thickness to surfaces and it’s inexpensive.

I’ve bought a few of their chains and showed them on my channel as well. I know they are made over seas but I really do like most of what they offer.

[@Styzok]

I’ve been looking for a genuine review and I’ve found one right here I bought GLD but I didn’t know would it turn my neck green would it tarnish? But all the ones I see on TikTok say you can take it into the shower and they say you can use it while playing sports with it on but there were other ones where they would make it seem like a genuine review and make it seem like there honest but never actually talk about the down side a little bit and they would still make sure you click on there link to buy with GLD so there making it look so good so they can make money. Thank you for being honest

[@slfitness7621]

I have had a GLD chain for a little over a year and wear it daily. I have yet to notice any fading in the plating or anything at all. It's cheaply produced but it is a high quality product for the price. If you can afford the legit jewelry then definitely go for it but if not GLD is a great alternative in my opinion.

[@puctbridge]

I bought a 13.5MM gold plated, sterling silver (925) curb link from Harlembling like 8 months ago, and I never tested it, but recently I decided to touch a magnet to it, and there is a very feint reaction (its a weak reaction but its a reaction). Should 925 plated in gold react to a magnet at all?

[@lunisic]

No, unless it has a lobster clasp then only the clasp should be because of the spring inside it. Gold or sterling silver are non-ferris meaning non magnetic
