Truth about HIGH PURITY GOLD and why jewelers are not being honest with you...

Higher purity is really the way to go majority of the time. The richer gold color from 18k or greater screams prestige. Keep in mind though, when it comes to having stones eg diamonds in rings or other types of gold jewelry, 18k is honestly the highest purity a person should go with; anything greater in purity will not hold the stone very well because it is too soft.

[@zerocool1ist]

When i first started buying gold i also though people cared about the purity and golds color but after a while i came to realize the truth and that is the simple fact that most people buy gold because they want to appear flashy and want just that, flash. People want their gold to refract light optimally so even if it's just a 10k hollow chain if it is cut right, they still get that bling bling effect and will be just as happy as if it was 24k. Thats what they truly care about how it catches and holds light. Reminds me of the old saying, "All that glitters is not gold"

I care equally about the craftsmanship. No machine made chain can beat quality bench made. I bought a 5mm 14kt handmade cuban from Gus Villa Jewelry out in Miami. They're the manufacturers, everything's made in-house, no middle man markup. Can't find a better cuban link mfr. Gus is a top tier jeweler so expect to pay a premium.

[@TautologyTechSystems]

Something that never gets mentioned (even by you) is the markup and price over spot. My observations have shown that you almost always get lower mark-up and closer to spot prices with higher purity gold jewelry. I wrote a calculator that provides this information based on a few variables and I've used it on many different retailers including jacoje. So what does this mean? You're going to be able to get a better deal when you buy higher purity jewelry. This also means that the profit margins for jewelry shops are lower on higher purity gold, which is why they love to sell 10k and 14k, because they make more money on it.

[@thetapheonix]

22k or 90% gold is perfectly acceptable and I’d say desirable for wearing. Reason being that karat is crown gold which was used in coinage for centuries, 22k is also the same karat as the American Gold Eagle. It’s also more beautiful at 22k which is the perfect split between 24k and durability.

[@kuebby]

22kt is .916 purity. American gold coins were .900, which is just over 21.5kt

[@daleintampa]

Before I bought my high dollar a chain. I watched all your Videos and did tons of research and you are exactly right about retail. I asked one sales person if they could tell me how much the chain weighed. He told me they didn’t have a scale. LOL. Thanks Braden

[@dannygreen5477]

My standard has always been 14kt. With these higher purity gold chain videos I been watching, it's got me thinking and looking at 14kt with how I used to think about 10kt, and 18kt is the way to go like it's the new standard or should be. Dammit JACOJE 🤣 Serious note and in all honesty, my first gold chain was a 10kt 8mm 22" flat curb I got from a major jewelry store.. About three years ago. (I still wear this chain daily) Tho back then I didn't know about Jacoje or for that matter, I didn't know that much about gold chains. The store was selling only 10 karat gold and most of it was hollow. I at least wanted a solid chain! I now know that I VERY much over payed for a decent chain, that I could of got in 14kt for the same price. This is why educating yourself on gold jewelry is essential!! Also that I am VERY grateful for Jacoje being around and especially for the informative videos that helped educate many as well as myself so much about gold chains and I am so much more informed now thankfully to your videos! I deeply appreciate everything you guys do at Jacoje, Braden and Raquel! Not only do you offer great quality products at a good price, but you educate your audience, inform us and your costumer service is great! I have learned so much from your videos. This is why I think your fans, us are so loyal and rightly so! You guys are the best. #Team_JACOJE!!! Will H Pooler, GA

[@kuebby]

In some countries (France is one I know of) gold used to, and might still, have to be at least 18kt purity for them to be able to sell it as "gold." In the USA it's 10kt. In the UK it's 9kt. The lowest is I think Germany with 8kt (25% gold).

[@nickyp2627]

Get the 22k.. more gold per gram and if you ever sell it you have more of an investment..

[@nik6561]

My opinion from a mature veteran gold /jewelry handle. 22k or 18k in the 3-5 mm range is on a completely different level then a big 14k chain/bracelet . No hate but that big 14k stuff is for kids. And that big size everybody thinks is fake anyway. When they see that color of 18 or 22 at a more subtle size 3-5mm is when they ask questions and then you can tell them what you got. And that’s from experience

[@nik6561]

@@nickyp2627 I think your a little confused no hate. Regardless of purity you’d only be selling the pure gold in your piece, 10k, 14k, 18k ,22k etc is all 24k alloyed with other metal for strength. So when you sell it they’re only buying the 24k “pure gold in it so it’s always 24k mixed with different %\amounts of alloy to make different karat amounts of that makes sense ?

[@dannygreen5477]

I personally prefer the bigger look in 14kt or 18kt than a small chain in 22kt. I would just rather have a bigger chain. If I could afford to go up purity wise, I'd go 18kt tho and not 22kt. The only 22kt gold I'd get would be American Gold Eagle coins. I am a bit rough life style and tho I try and take care of my chains, I wouldn't trust myself with 22kt.

Is the markup a lot higher on higher purity gold chains than it is on lower purity? I believe lower purity or more marked up. I would assume I bought a 24 karat chain and my opinion is gorgeous and can never really look at 14 K again the only thing is, you could just buy an ounce of gold for way cheaper instead of paying for all the craftsmanship

[@MrTreypac]

I buy all of my gold overseas so its all 18K and 22K. Ive never had a problem with a chain tearing or breaking. When you put a 18 and up next to a 10 or 14K it makes those look almost like silver. The only problem with 22K is its too soft to hold precious stones and if you have something with ornate desing like 2 of my rings and large medallion then the design will rub down overtime like a coin. But Ive had those for 10 years plus and only the rings you can tell. 18K can hold precious stones though. 14K overseas is not considered gold since its 8.3% gold and 41.7% alloy, and opposite of here in the US they dont sell 14K in most places. I never sold any of my pieces but I always assumed that if I did a place that melts my pieces down would give me more since its 18K is 75% and 22K is 91%. In the phillipines/thailand youll often notice that they wear 23K/24K all the time and they have no problems but they probably will mostly wear them at a nice outing or a women that does not plan to do any rough housing.

Hi, I'm American but living in Thailand. I noticed that in USA the gold is not usually SO yellow. Now, living abroad, I see people in India and Thailand (Buddhist based maybe?) they have this Yellow/Orange gold which (to me) looks fake. But they say it's 'higher gold', like 24k. I just don't think that the gold in USA looks like the gold in other countries. Thoughts??? Obviously I don't know the difference and if it's worth it to buy something here. TIA 👍

[@roringusanda2837]

In other countries, the standard is purest 24 k, and maybe alloyed to bring it down to 22 k. In USA, the standard has always been to alloy it down even further so it's cheaper and less valuable. This also makes it paler and less yellow, because there's so much less gold in the mix, and more cheaper metals. USA is used to 14k, and even 10k is widespread in cheaper stores. Only "luxury" shops offer 18k on a regular basis, and almost never deal in higher k gold. They claim there's no demand...well how can there be a demand for high k gold if the ppl go thru their whole lives without ever seeing it?? It's usually only ppl from other countries like India, Saudi Arabia, or Thailand, etc. who come here with high k gold that you'll see wearing it regularly. You can't buy what you can't find, right?

[@truthistruth4186]

You can electro plate 10kt,14kt, or 18kt to look like 22kt. You'll get the durability and the deep yellow color you want. In Miami most Cuban links are 10kt and 14kt but they all look like 18kt or 22kt because they're electroplated. Buying a 22kt Cuban link chain is pretty much a waste at that point unless it's part of your culture like Asians/Indians an other cultures. There's no right kt. As long as your buying at a fair price it's all the same mark up and the losses of labor when scraping

[@crli4353]

it depends if you think the chain will be pulled on a lot. 22K gold is great metal, HOWEVER if its pulled on it WONT break but it WILL stretch. High karat gold has to be THICK to be resistant to stretching. 4mm is a decent thickness, but 18 would be better if its going to be abused. Also, ropes are great until such time as they break and then they are worthless. Ropes can be repaired but not as well as you can repair a link chain like cable, curb,, figaro or anchor.

Only reason Swiss watchers use 18k is durability. Since a watch is worn on the wrist and risk of damage is high, 18k is the safer bet. Color wise, 22k is much richer and prettier. At the end, anything 18k and up is nice!.

I’ve been wearing my 22k rope along with my 24k ring from Mene for over a year now and they still look new after a shower. Only time I take the ring off is when lifting weights. These jewelers love to lie you about higher purity Gold... they got me once 5 yrs ago, never again.

[@VicOrlando]

I know gold is soft and most jewelers don't sell 18k+ I don't want to go past 18k because I know the chain will get scratches easier.

[@nik6561]

Won’t be any different trust me. Been wearing 18k for years looks brand new no scratches. Just take care of it. I can show you a video if you want

[@VicOrlando]

@@nik6561 I've owned it higher I did take great care of it. I wouldn't NOT be objective of any videos though. I use a non abrasive cleaner and ultrasonic cleaner tank. When my shit really gets caked up I pull out the steamer I have.

Hey How much money is a 24inch rope chain 22 K gold

[@CD-sz7tf]

5 mm 24 inch rope in 22k is 4,000 dollars. 54.8 grams. 18k is $3,250 and 49.9 grams and 14k is $2,590 at 43.5 grams. All prices are for 24 inch 5mm diamond cut rope.

[@MrJimmyWiles]

Ohhhh the 6mm is so pretty but 4mm is also a perfect everyday

[@frankbeatzu]

I have an 18k 3mm Franco I bought from jacoje almost a year ago to date on my birthday! Absolutely zero issues with 18k and I don’t think I’ll never go below it. Maybe I’ll get a 22k this year🤔🤔. I’ve been watching your videos for a while now and idk if you ever talked about where the name “Jacoje” actually came from?

[@abriyahyasha-rahla2656]

I would love to see 21K/22K curb links, perhaps Figaros, and/or some of the other popular links🤞🏾❣️

Love the facts

Can we get another promo code? I got stuff to buy :D

Talk about different gold stamps. K and KT

[@sinesaii]

Here is the thing: if you cannot wear 22k, you probably should not wear gold at all. I wear a 10k wedding ring because I am brutal on it, but with necklaces, just do not wear it when you are playing sports or messing around. If you never know when they will happen, perhaps wait to get a chain (and save more to get a better one). I think 14k is pretty durable, but so is 22k. The latter will get scratched up as a bracelet there. I would say 22k yellow is amazing, but for rose 18k is fine. With white gold, making sure it is palladium white gold is far more important than 18k. Avoid any chain that is rhodium plated or “dipped.” Those are garbage. Real white gold NEVER turns yellow. It is pure white. It may or may not be nickel free, but nickel free is a good sign for white gold.

Jacoje is best👍

[@landonnuttal1653]

So can I have one

[@roringusanda2837]

I've never understood why ppl buy low k gold, it's so pale and dull. But you're right, if they never see it anywhere, then they can't see the difference. America is a strange place, regarding "choice"...it's like they don't even realize how limited their choices are!

[@CatfishHeaven777]

I wear all 10k. I prefer the yellow gold look of 10/14 k over the orangish look of the 19/22. And I don’t have to skimp on size because of my budget

[@roringusanda2837]

@@CatfishHeaven777 ahh, see, I like the stronger, deeper color of high karat gold. Also I like some red gold, if it's not cheesy pink toned stuff. And while I like Sterling silver, I don't much care for white gold or platinum, I don't know how, but they don't look the same as silver.
