Totally up to you at the end of the day, but I would suggest if your budget allows it, go with the bigger size! If you get the smaller size you stand the chance of wishing you went with the larger one. Haven’t heard of too many ppl going larger & wished they hadn’t.

[@MrDaleVerde]

Wearing it daily was my thought exactly, and I do just that, now paired with an 18” 2.5mm rope chain. The size is slightly bigger than 3.5mm, which is completely fine with me bc I’d rather get more than what I paid for than less.

Thinking of picking this one up. How has the chain lasted over these past 2 years? Is it still durable.

[@MrDaleVerde]

It’s still holding just as strong as when I first got it. I don’t see this chain breaking or becoming less durable anytime soon, as the franco link is one of the strongest. If anything, the lobster clasp may wear over time or the links that connect the clasp to the franco.

[@Otsp922]

Hey brother do you think that would look good stacked with a 3mm dc rope 22inch?

How do you like the D/C bro? I may spring for a plain and layer it with a smaller dc. I feel like the DC in a longer size may be too flashy?

I love the extra shine of the DC. The extra shine is subtle tho, so I don’t think you’d be overdoing it with a DC chain in a longer size to couple it with a smaller one. Still can’t lose by matching with a longer plain tho. It all comes down to personal preference!

[@MrDaleVerde]

Much appreciated! A 7mm franco would definitely be a big flex! I’d say feel out the chain first before going with a pendant, you might like the solitary look. And if you do go with a pendant keep in mind you’d need one with a sizable bale for the chain’s thickness. I know either way you’d enjoy it when you get it tho 🔥

[@GreenMan42O]

Can 3.5mm franco be to wide to wear with pendant? Could it better to combine it with 3mm?

[@MrDaleVerde]

The 3.5mm shouldn’t be too wide at all for most pendants. You should have enough clearance for the bale to fit comfortably

Im glad someone made another rare 3.5mm franco review. Was gonna get the 3 but i think the 3.5 would be a wiser choice. Thinking of getting mines in 24 in tho here in the next couple months. Prolly gonna pair it with a boss cross alil after that. Nice vid tho (:

[@MrDaleVerde]

Thanks fam! If you’re indecisive between the 3 & the 3.5, I’d definitely say go up! It’s definitely worth it IMO. The boss cross would be a dope setup with a 3.5mm franco. And 24” isn’t a bad length at all, but just be mindful the pendant is gonna drop it a bit and the bottom of the cross might hang it down an extra 2” or so. If you like long chain setups tho go for it, still would be a fire combo regardless

@@MrDaleVerde you’re welcome brother (: ,yeah i just want something im gonna slip over my head. But yeah 3.5 i think its where its at cuz Braden said the 3.5 is more closer to a 4mm & i was thinking of getting a standard boss cross. I dont think it should weigh it down too much & its not too long of a pendant which i like. I want my setup to be subtle & not too flashy. I dont like too much attention.

I don’t wanna mislead you by saying “yes it’s a decent size” bc it’s subjective. I would say for me, the thickness is just enough. Any smaller (the 3mm) I might’ve regretted it. If you’re thinking about getting the 3.5mm, it might be a safe bet to save a bit more & go up to a 4mm. That way you’d more than likely be satisfied with the thickness.

All facts!! Definitely a dope idea to go bigger for your 2nd one, been thinking about eventually copping either a bigger & longer rope or franco to couple with the one I have too. I do like the plain style too, but I personally prefer the roundedness and extra shimmer of the diamond cut.

Much appreciated! Yup, it’s a diamond cut franco. I do notice it snags my shirt sometimes but very rarely to where it’s almost negligible (seems to happen only with non-cotton shirts). Same goes for neck snags... sometimes I’d get a short hair snag on my neck, but that doesn’t happen too often either. Neither one makes me wanna wear the chain any less.

I feel like I would definitely appreciate extra thickness of the 4mm, but as far as an everyday chain (for me) I still think the 3.5 would be more ideal. Can’t go wrong either way tho, the 4 def doesn’t seem overly thick

[@BlackPanther1SS]

I think you got the right idea bruh 3-4m is perfect. Not too thick. Looking for a 22k in that thickness

[@basketballgod2791]

Yeah I i got the 1.5 but for me its too small gave it to my son for school lol I need that 3.5 that thing looks drippy

[@MrDaleVerde]

If you had the 1.5 you’d def appreciate the thickness of the 3.5. Go ahead & grab it so you & your son can have a matching set. My son always wants to wear mine & he’s only 2 lol might have to end up getting him his own

Nice chain, fam! 💥🚀 How are you digging the 3.5mm Franco after almost 2 1/2 years? I leaning towards 20” 3mm dc Franco 18k white gold. I have a 20” 2mm dc Franco 18k white gold that I wear solely with a pendant. It is about 15g. The 3mm Franco is ~30.4g so that is a nice jump in weight for only going up 1mm. It is a nice size and weight for an everyday, stand-alone chain. That being said, the 3.5mm dc Franco 18k white gold is tempting (~53.5g), but I don’t want to drop that kind of coin. It’s crazy the jump in total grams going up 1/2mm in the Francos, especially in 18k. I could get 3.5mm dc Franco in 14k white gold (~44.7g), but I am pretty much set on 18k white gold. Argh, what a dilemma! I only do white gold jewelry and prefer 18k for the extra density and heft. And subtle flex as you stated. Jacoje has an informative video on KZbin - 14 vs. 18k white gold. Braden’s quote nails the description of 18k white gold: “More gold around the neck for that spec”

[@MrDaleVerde]

Much appreciated! 2 1/2 yrs later I’m still loving my Franco, still glad I made the decision on these specs as I still feel comfy wearing it all day every day, coupled with an 18” 14k 2.5mm rope chain. I really think I wanna add a matching pendant to both, but no rush on that as I like the paired look without one. Are you thinking of replacing your current 2mm Franco with the 3mm or possibly the 3.5mm? If so, you can never go wrong to upsize imo. Also, I feel like if you’re torn between two sizes go with the bigger one! Less chance of regrets that way. Although I fully understand that price starts adding up quickly! If 18k is your thing, I’d say stick with it. 14k for me personally is a sweet spot & I never wanna drop down lower than that when shopping around for jewelry, so if 18k is your standard then that’s what it is if you ask me

[@Adamas11]

I am going to keep the 2mm Franco to pair with my pendant (custom Bobby White diamond lion pendant) and add the 3mm Franco which will be worn as a standalone chain. The 20” 3mm Franco in 18k white gold is about 30-31g and a nice weight for an everyday chain. I never take my chains off. Sleep, shower, workout, etc. with them on. 18kt is my thing, so gonna stick with it.

How's the weight

For the size, the weight is very good. Heavier than pretty much any “middle of the mall” franco where it’s not as solid or as high of gold quality.

Good review. I was looking at this exact chain. I ended up ordering the 22" 2.5mm D/C Franco and might grab a small pendant. Think the 20" 18kt 3.5 mm Plain Franco is my next buy!

[@MrDaleVerde]

Much appreciated! You can never go wrong with the Franco & pendant pair. Pretty sure you’re as anxious as I was waiting for the chain after finally ordering. That 18k 3.5 mm is gonna hit different tho once you secure it!

That chain is so awesome ! what length would you recommend for someone 5'5?

[@danzors]

I'm 5'4" and got the 3.5mm 22". I'm gonna get the 3mm 20" for every day and keep this as a show piece w/ a pendant.

[@MrDaleVerde]

Much appreciated! When it comes to chain length, it all comes down to personal preference honestly. Gotta ask yourself if you prefer longer or shorter chains, do you want an “all purpose” length, how thick is your neck, do you want to layer it with other chains, etc. Some ppl go 24” and up bc for most head sizes you can take your chain off & on without using the clasp. At the end of the day it all boils down to how you plan on wearing your chain. That said tho, I do feel like 22” is a versatile & ideal length for any type of person.

[@pinoyams]

@@MrDaleVerde thankyou for the deatiled response! appreciate it. if you go for the 2 chain layered look with a 20 inch what length would the other one have to be and would they have to be the same width?

[@pinoyams]

@@danzors Hows it going thats awesome! do you like how the 22" length sits? Could the 20" sit untucked?

[@MrDaleVerde]

@@pinoyams it could be whatever length you want it to be. General rule of thumb tho is if you’re spacing them out & adding a pendant to the shorter chain, keep at least a 4” difference so the pendant & longer chain don’t overlap. If no pendant, 2” or 4” gap are both clean looks, so depends on how much of a gap you’d want. Some people even get the same length and it comes out looking good. Also, folks normally make the longer chain the thicker one. Keep in mind though, this is all opinion & personal preference. Go with what you think you’d like best

[@jaredtop_]

@@MrDaleVerde Would you ever consider the same chain in 18kt? I only want 18kt for the deeper gold color, but maybe I just need to calm it down and get the exact chain you got.. What do you think? I trust you bc that chain looks dope af on you. I'm 6'2" athletic build like u so we probably got similar proportions. Also, what do you think about the 20" with this chain for a daily wear vs 22"? Basically, for a daily chain that won't ever come off, 14kt or 18kt? and 20" or 22"?

[@MrDaleVerde]

@@jaredtop_ I love my setup (14k 22”), but at the end of the day it’s all up to the person who’s wearing it. 18k would be good too, clearly a richer gold, one thing to consider is the purer the gold the softer the metal will be. Although I doubt there would be any concern of a daily 3.5mm 18k solid Franco being too soft, since the Franco style is so dense. Also the price… for the 3.5mm Franco the 18k is a bit of a jump for most people, but if price isn’t a concern 18k is definitely not a bad choice. Regarding 20” length, that’s not a bad choice either but there are a few things to consider. One thing is the fact that the 20” may have a tendency to unintentionally tuck into your shirt much easier than 22”. Another thing to consider is planning your setup for the future. If you plan on layering chains, gotta think about what lengths would suit your style best. For me, I got a 22” with intentions of later getting a thinner 18” chain, which I did and I love it. I also plan on getting a pendant for both my 18” and 22” chains too, and keeping that 4” gap in chain length is critical to the look of the smaller length having a pendant, so it doesn’t overlap the longer. Honestly I could go on and on about why I consider this chain & length, but don’t wanna make this reply super long lol end of the day tho, 20” 18k 3.5mm Franco is still a great everyday setup in my opinion. Just remember to consider your future setup and determine whether or not you think it will fit it.

[@jaredtop_]

@@MrDaleVerde Dale!!! This is the most in depth and well thought out reply I've ever gotten on YT! I really really appreciate it man, and you addressed every single thing I'm worried about. I just pulled the trigger on the 20" 14kt 3.5mm. I figured that I want to wear this chain 24/7, whether I'm sleeping, showering, swimming, working out, etc. So 14kt >>> 18kt for that 100%. I literally only wanted 18kt for the color.. And I get to save a fat chunk of cash.

[@MagicsJohnson]

I personally only buy 18kt+ and I’ll buy 14kt at a little over melting price via eBay or something, but it’s not like everyone can afford 18kt or 23kt. Anyone can know the fact that 18kt-24kt is better value than 14kt, not being able to pay for it doesn’t mean you know nothing about jewelry. Judging someone for their choice in jewelry is honestly lame af tho 😂 like does saying “14 karat gold is garbage” so people on the internet can know your opinion make your day better? Gold is a game of baby steps. You work your way up.
