Melissa your video is fantastic and your knowledge is absolutely correct! More than half the world population is wearing 22k gold and they are having zero problem with it. Chains have to be made with an appropriate amount of gold, weight to be strong. In North America, the jewellers want to use as little gold as possible, therefore, they use mostly 10k and 14k for their jewelry and push the 10k and 14k misinformation of strength so customers will buy it. I have gold passed down to me from my mother, grandmother and have also purchased some on my trips and most of it is 22k. I also have 9k which I bought in Australia and 10k and 14k which I myself bought in N. America. The weight of the gold chain will determine the strength of it, not the karat. For every karat, there is an appropriate weight and that will determine the strength of the chain. It's amazing how ignorant some people are and just repeat the garbage and incorrect information that the seller is trying to give then!! 😄Excellent video Melissa!!

Omg I’m spending so much money just watching your vids😂 now I’m looking at chains and I love this video because buying a new one has been on my list!!! I love your chain it’s gorgeous! ❤

[@melissanacional9662]

Haha thank you so much!

[@ABBasketball23]

You really know gold much respect learned a lot. I’m looking into a rose gold Cuban or curb chain. This is helpful

[@francoortiz-braden3552]

I loveee the heavy link, such a tasteful choice

[@itzcloxdy]

I Love this video, you show your interest in chains as well as you showing us what is good and what is not so good. I used this video before picking up my 18k 3mm rope chain and a 18k Miami Cuban link. Thanks for the great advice!

[@melissanacional9662]

Nice! Love a Miami Cuban link

[@Simba_903]

Just got a 6MM anchor chain and it’s gorgeous!! No one really talks about this chain but I think in my opinion is really good solid chain 👍

[@melissanacional9662]

Anchors look so nice! I’ve never seen one in person. How are you liking yours?

[@BIGatorEJ]

Love this video! I’ve gotten into chains recently and couldn’t agree more with everything you said!

[@melissanacional9662]

Thanks so much!

[@claudettemcleod6316]

@@melissanacional9662 the rope can be repaired, but its like a patch, and its not obvious.

[@sjl871]

I was leaning towards a jacoje franco until i saw your heavy link! This will be my first solid gold chain...14kt rose gold 3.2mm heavy link...I do love the 4mm but i don't think my budget will stretch that far.

[@Sky_Burger88]

Thanks for a great video! Question... When shopping, How can a person determine what level of quality the gold is? When a dealer advertised as 14k but how can this be verified?

[@Itsrafael]

Thanks for this i was about to pull the trigger on a chain from macys lol appreciate you

[@melissanacional9662]

Haha I got you!

[@Spiderweb444]

Amazing video! I hope you do more reviews of chains in 2023 too!

So if I were to buy a 22k gold chain would I be able to layer it with another 22k or would that scratch up as well?

[@marklestergamayon4082]

Wow thanks i have a 3mm 10karat franco necklace I bought for 1k instead of 2200 has a discount i have a wedding ring 18karat nice piece even the 10karat franco gold jewelry here in canada are so expensive than backhome in Philippines

[@roringusanda2837]

This was actually informative! I've never worn a Cuban link, they look to masculine to me, but I thought that kinking up thing would happen with them, I was glad to see you point that out. I've seen the Franco so much and wondered why it's sooo popular...it looks pretty basic, but when you explained about how it lays, and combine that with the durability, I guess u can see why now. My dream is a 22k gold snake or box-snake chain...they look like a ribbon of gold, so silky and bright. I'd like a thick one, like maybe 4-6 mm. My most hated is the Cobra chain...I don't know who invented it or why, but they are so ugly, cheap and pointy, very uncomfortable...prone to breaking and kinking right out of the box. Why are they made at all??

[@seankiesling2054]

Idk why the Franco is so popular either. I don't like the design, it's kinda bland I still love Melissa and all her videos

[@melissanacional9662]

Hope you get your dream chain soon!

Do you recommend gold plated sterling silver ?

[@mc-qw1or]

Any recommendations so we don’t over pay at a jewelers spot?

[@user-mv7kh5sv9z]

This video made me remember I have a 10k miami cuban in my drawer that I haven't worn in years. I got it as a gift but I were to buy, I would've gone for a 24k gold. The color looks more regal.

[@melissanacional9662]

24k is gorgeous. Let me know how that Cuban’s holding up!

[@miguelzaracho5102]

im in the middle between 22k or 18k solid gold 3mm franco from jacoje … i see the color on the phone for the 22k and its heading towards an orange color i dno. i have an 18k curb and i like it

[@dwindm3152]

What is the size of the heavy link again? 18”?

[@movingtorichmondva]

I just bought the mene box chain and am a little upset it doesn't have any sparkle. Best deal are found online but I can hold it first, just gotta go for it and hope for the best! It's very yellow because it's 24k but dang, no shine:(

[@littlemisskate4254]

Absolutely love your videos. I came across your channel because I was looking at how to take care of my 9 carat gold necklace that I bought so that I could wear my grandmothers old gold wedding ring, which over here in the UK has four marks inside the ring it’s actually stamping, so you know where the ring was made as in which county of England and what type. I can’t off the top of my head remember exactly what everyone represents without looking it up again. I would like to know and you may not be able to help me as you live in the United States, but the necklace I bought for the ring, I can barely see thethe hallmark on it, and I know I went to well known jewellery shop, but I’m always wanting to doublecheck that the person did not sell me a fake item. You may be able to help me even though my mum came along with me to get the necklace but what do they mean when they say it’s a 9 carat yellow gold is there some difference? P.s how old are you guys managed to afford all these very expensive gold jewellery because when you say 24 carat, I’m just thinking a hell of a lot of money?

[@oclarke31]

My mother has some jewellery that is the same, they have stamps, ours were Irish silver but I’m trying to trace one or two pieces. The mene 24 curb chain costs about 1,200 euro, not all the money in the world

[@erniepadilla8121]

Melissa, respect of this video. You have no idea how helpful you were. I’m looking forward to buying my first chain, and I’m interested in the options you showed, although the Cuban and Franco was probably my favorite. I’m interested in buying an 18k or possibly 22k, can you guide me with links on websites or places you can recommend?

[@24kJay_300]

will you sell the rope chains 14k?

[@jvlogs5314]

I've got my 6mm 24inch Figaro 18k chain w/ jesus face pendant and I worn it daily.

[@campbellfalls7430]

Awesome video. Great I info

[@vintagetimmy1893]

Save money and go solid, don't waste your money going hollow, or vermeil it's just not worth it! I saved up till I could afford my 7mm solid 18kt 22 in miami cuban with the box lock. Only thing is I can't wear it everyday because it's very gaudy. Great video beautiful and very informative!

White gold has platinum I think which is the strongest precious metal

There’s no platinum in white gold as far as I know. It’s definitely dipped in rhodium though for that nice finish

[@andreak4502]

This video is for those, who can afford these high prices. I just wanted to know which chain, even a10K is best as a gift, to wear it with a cross. But my budget is less than $300.

Those chains aren’t real gold my G

[@melissanacional9662]

They’re solid :)

[@manuelgarcia5961]

14k is always the best route when it comes to chains, they’re the most durable. 24k will easily break that’s why they’re not common for neckwear. Do not customize any gold jewelry with diamonds, that depreciates the gold by a lot.

[@melissanacional9662]

People saying 24k chains will easily break are typically people that don’t wear 24k and have just heard from other people to not do it. It’s totally wrong lol. Worn it everywhere and it’s as durable as my 14k lol

[@manuelgarcia5961]

@@melissanacional9662 it’s a malleable metal, pure gold is always gunna be softer, therefore it is common in necklaces . It usually ranges from 14-18k . 24k is not that common to be worn as a neck piece. They’re more susceptible to scratches and damage for how delicate they are

[@melissanacional9662]

24k won’t easily break as a chain lol. Have you ever wore it on the daily? Cuz it sounds like your just repeating what other people say without trying it yourself lol

[@manuelgarcia5961]

@@melissanacional9662 yeah I have. Not saying it’s gunna break when u wear it, but it is more fragile if u really know gold. 24k isn’t as common as u think, that’s why most jewelry made is 14-18k. It’s rare you see someone rocking a 24k chain.

[@melissanacional9662]

Not common here but in Asia high purity is the standard. People never take it off and it’s fine lol

[@therealshaft9768]

I have never ordered from hawaiiropechains but I know i want too because they have the best prices online for solid gold and also have some of the best quality on the market. I heard about them a couple years back and there ropes are Peruvian and not Italian so it's a better link

Yeah they’re great!
