Your GOLD chain is most likely plated..here's why...

I wanted to make a video explaining mass produced gold chains and how they are most likely plated. If you have had some experience with gold chains or jewelry, you'll know that there's different colors. Even though the karat % is the same. This is because of the top plating applied from the manufacturer. Hope this helps. Thank you for watching.

Back to the educational videos. Love it when you put these types of videos out.

[@joaquinbarreto9398]

This is an issue for people that haven't ever really owned a pure solid gold chain. I get why people start freaking out and its because of misconceptions. But it's basically like buying a new car. When you buy a car it may have been waxed or sealed by the manufacturer. The month after you bought it it'll never look as good as the day you took it home. It's still the same car that you bought but it's just not as sparkly clean as the day you bought it. This is normal for gold chains. When it's been around your neck for a decade the wow factor that it had the first few years just won't be the same. The thing is still gold and always has been nothing has changed just how ultra shiny clean it looks out the gate. People need to chill just focus and make sure it's SOLID PURE 10K,14K,18K 22K 24K.

[@allenbraun7300]

The purer coating is just a selling point, super faster then black hands and fingers polishing every chain by hand. Their shiney and gorgeous. Sold. Then it wears and it looks even more amazing, love the dull gold worn look. Must be the Irish in me. Just as the fresh wax on a brand new car, they never look as good as in the store or case, to some. But gold is gold and that's why it sells, dull, shiney, scratched, old, new as long as it's real it's for me. Good video Braden

Finally someone with a real explanatnion of why this is done. it was baffling me why any manufacturer would plate 18k over solid 14k. Especially when nowadays that darker looks is considered fake looking. But when you gave the lobster clasp which they outsource as an example as to why, to make the color uniformed on the chain, it makes perfect sense.

I bought a 4.5mm yacht link a couple weeks ago. It’s a beautiful chain. Is it plated ???

[@rubenmarquez9966]

Im sorry to say but clearly he said doesnt matter where you buy, everything is plated

[@richyrich-zz4li]

So I'm a bit confused....so you're saying some of jacoje chains are plated???even solid 14k?? Or are you just comparing other chains to yours?

[@seankiesling2054]

Im confused too and this video has haulted me from buying from him

[@jussel349]

A lot of people on here complaining when they can’t even afford a 10k chain Ive worn my franco/lion for 2 years 24/7 and it still looks brand new.

[@RellJefe90]

Same.. 6mm rope.. Shower and all.. No change

[@nicholasnoriega1205]

I got the 3mm dc Franco 18k from him and large lion 18k. I had no idea it was plated though, but as long as it's solid 18k with same weight I don't care as much. Do wonder how it would look without that plating now though. Plating is not stated on the site. Good to know quality holds up though.

[@budgetingyourfinances]

What length is the chain you are wearing in this video?

[@RellJefe90]

20"

[@1madmike813]

Thanks clears up why my 14k chain looks like 22k color

[@seankiesling2054]

That's my worse fear of buying online and after seeing this will not be buying from him. I do noooottt like the color of 18 or 22k. Did you return it?

[@1madmike813]

@@seankiesling2054 no I bought it from a jewelry store not here. I bought it as no returns. I don’t mind the 22k it’ll eventually rub off back to 14k after a few polishes

[@seankiesling2054]

@@1madmike813 as long as you're cool with it...I depise 22k...it looks like copper

[@1madmike813]

@@seankiesling2054 nope looks like gold 14k looks like copper

[@1madmike813]

@@seankiesling2054 you can hardly call 14k real gold. Mixed ass bullshit I wouldn’t buy a chain unless it’s solid 22k now 14k is crap 💩

[@chadgiella]

So is a Jacoje 18kt 3.5mm Franco just a 14kt chain plated with 18kt finish???

[@Thomas-uw4ot]

No, it’s a solid 18k chain plated in extra 18k.

[@estebanh2025]

Soo let’s say one day I’ll buy a 3mm Franco chain from you guys but i want the 22kt gold. Will it actually be 22kt or 14kt gold instead of the 22kt gold? I’m confused here.

[@tlo7730]

It will be Solid 22kt with an additional 22kt plating so the chain, end caps and clasp are uniform color...not 14kt with a 22kt plating

[@THR36IX]

@@tlo7730 thats also what i was thinking.22kt plating over 14kt chain. glad thats wasnt the case. thanks for clearing that up

[@seankiesling2054]

What if I order a 14k chain ...he mentioned they plate it in 18k? I don't want the 18k look. The sole reason I got the 14k was for its color

[@brockglaze]

I watched this *before* I decided to order my chain from Jacoje. TBH, I couldn't care less if there is gold plating on top of my 14k solid gold chain. I mean, if I ever wanted to, I could simply polish the chain a little and remove the plating. But, I'd rather just wear it and let it naturally age to that point.
