Truth about your GOLD jewelry SCRATCHING!

I get asked about gold scratching a lot! This is a big concern with many and rightfully so. There's nothing you can do about gold scratching as it is natural and inevitable. I offer some tips and other ways to hide these scratches. It really depends on how picky you are to this issue. Wearing a Franco or rope is a good way to hide scratches. Let me know if you guys have any other questions. Thanks.

This reminds me of what a watch dealer told me when I was making my purchase. "It's going to get scratched, just enjoy wearing it." Can always polish it once in awhile to make it look good again once you get tired of looking at it with all the blemishes.

I layer everyday pretty much, even with the 5mm 24” Byzantine. I can’t see anything noticeable by looking at them(except minuscule scratches)even after years of layering. I love mixing up the layers.

[@edgarallanbroo]

Stop looking. You found your jeweler. The quality is amazing, and prices are extremely competitive. Welds are solid, and pieces hold up very well. Custom pieces are just as good. The shipping is also fast and safe. The videos allow you to see what you’re buying, and were a huge help while making a decision. 💎 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I'm planning on getting a 20 inch 2.5mm rope with the mini crucifix and a 3.5mm d/c franco with a large lion both in 18k for everyday use. I know 18k is softer than 14 but is it too soft to the point that I can't wear it for everyday use? I just love the color of 18k but I'm afraid it will scratch wayyy too much and break. Any advice????

[@lukewalton103]

But...should it be scratched when it comes to you as a "new" piece? Just had a fairly heavy chain delivered, and I've got a decent bracelet too...that wasn't scratched at all except a few extremely light ones...this chain has got them all over :/ so should it get to you flawless?

[@ryanblanchard2508]

Was it the heavy link?

[@lukewalton103]

Um...was what the hewvy link? :S

[@ryanblanchard2508]

Uh the chain you said you received that came with scratches

[@lukewalton103]

Yeah I already said in the first comment it was fairly heavy. The way you said it made it sound like you were asking if one link was heavy 😂. Since been told it's the way they have them transported from Italy...obviously not on the top of their game, if it were me I'd be making sure they were wrapped or somthing so they get to people in as pristine condition as possible.

[@ryanblanchard2508]

I agree. I received a 5mm heavy link and it was all scratched which was disappointing. I’m getting rid of it. I just got a 4mm white gold franco and it looks way better in comparison.

[@TranceForLyfe]

Awesome advice from the man himself! SMASHHHH!

[@chadlinkhart755]

If you have a pendant on your chain will it scratch off the diamond cut on a 925 sterling silver diamond cut chain custom made with 24 inch chain and bracelet added because at the time I bought it 15 years ago that's the only way you could do it

[@chadlinkhart755]

So if true change on at the same time rubbing together will scratch it will a chain that has a pendant on it at all times end up rubbing the diamond cuts to where it's not so shiny anymore or is that just because it needs to be cleaned better I don't like using the red container of stuff at all greens or Walmart I didn't say the other store y'all know that red container that they say is safer diamond cut jewelry well I don't think it is I think it made messed up my really nice 15-year-old custom-made out of a bracelet and a chain Fargo 929 sterling silver pure solid diamond cut need help getting something fixed and getting it cleaned properly and not have to worry about not getting the right necklace back meaning they take mine because it's worth more and give me the cheap one who do you trust to to clean up your expensive and somewhat not easy to find anymore necklaces bracelets rings who do you trust to get it cleaned to get them to steam it to get all the impurities out of it all your sweat out of it everything that is collected in the gold or the silver or whatever I need that jeweler and that also does custom grills for implant plates please message me back on either occasion let me know what your messaging about

Do you know how to get the black spots on the chains I have a rope chain somewhere to what you’re wearing around your neck and I bought it from a true gold guy in my area it’s 14 karat and ever since the day I bought it it had two small little black spots on it like within the links and I don’t know if it’s between me working in the warehouse cause I work around car parts and maybe I touched it with Greece but he detailed it or cleaned it more than once for me and still can’t seem to get those two spots out and can’t figure out what they are

Does wearing a pendant produce scratches on the chain or inside of the bale?

Sad truth is yea it does. Definitely wouldn’t wear a pendant doing anything active where it’s sliding around a lot. I have an 18k chain n pendant and have always been extremely careful with my jewelry and haven’t noticed anything personally. But I know if I wore as frequently and careless as most then absolutely it would slide around and scratch
