My grandma got me a chain for a religious holiday. I wore it for a couple years. In 6th grade I broke a link and went to fix it. The jeweler said “it’s Hollow. You can’t fix it.” It was a sad day for young Matthew. Now I only buy SOLID (thanks for trying grandma 🙏)
You can get it fixed I just called a local jeweler inquiring about a broken hollow chain and they said they could do it Update: my hollow chain is repaired now. 6-26-2024
Braden why do you hate on hollow chains so much I’ve owned both hollow and solid if you take care of your chains they won’t ever break hollow or not some people can’t afford your chains so I say if you want hollow buy hollow it can’t be fixed if it breaks if you don’t like that hollow chain send it to me and I’ll proudly rock it
He hates on it because it's too low of quality for him to sell. He sells products he can stand behind and hollow doesn't cut it. Same with his direct competitor, saints gold where I got mine from. They don't sell hollow either. Jacoje just tells you why he won't sell it. But if you like it, you do you. I almost went with a hollow piece from Macy's and I'm so glad I didn't. The chain I ended up with is actually a good investment with the price I got it for and it should last a life time. No matter how you treat hollow, I don't see it ever lasting a life time.
Hollow gold CAN be fixed! 😒... I have a few hollow peaces and I've seen them get fixed, so idk where all this "you can't fix hollow jewelry" stuff is coming from 😒.
@TankBmore Fuck are you talking about real jewelry😒? Hollow 10k, 14k,18k gold is real jewelry, it's just a cheaper alternative to it's solid counterpart because there's less gold in it when compared to the same exact peace that's solid. I have both hollow and solid REAL jewelry, depending on the peace i don't mind getting it hollow and some things like a cuban link i perfer solid.
They’re charging about $62.40/gram for 14k jewelry in this example, that’s roughly a 1.4x markup over spot, that is an extremely solid price for quality work.
It's just better to buy bullion straight up . 10 karat gold at $30 a gram * 24 is only 720 which is a big difference from 1500 And if you had to scrap that you probably wouldn't get that much per gram , because most states only give you 93% back of spot it seems no matter what the purity . Sorry bro just seems pricey. Side note you can fix a hollow chain @@jacobg6528
@@Drip4Less_ sorry bro you didn't get that great of a deal do the math Google how much 10 karat gold is per gram and 14k per g is 43.43$ do the math nowhere near the value he's trying to claim
Right. This guy jacoby or whatever his name is be telling bullshit. Like how you ganna sell a chain that’s over a hundred grams and it doesn’t even have a lock. It has one of those paper clip ass lobster clasp
Stop the cab you can fix a hollow chain!!! Who cares it's what your pocket say you can afford of course he'll say you can't fix it he sell solid gold chains he trying to push his shit
My first gold chain was a 10k 22in 5.5mm chain that weighed 12g and i paid 800 for it smh. I added a 6g pendant. If I'm moving around the chain would ALWAYS get stuck on the side of my shirt. It was soo light, gravity would couldnt keep it centered
$8000 for 14 karat gold??? I have a chain that’s 18 karat gold and is almost 2 ounces and I paid less than 3000 for it. Don’t buy shit from this person.
10K is absolute trash and does not even qualify as actually being gold. 128 gram, 14K chain is also trash and extremely over-priced. It contains approximately 2 ounces of gold, which is $4895 of gold. Wearing 10k and 14k gold is like advertising that you are poor and an economic ignoramus. Buy some investment-grade gold jewelry that is 22K to 24K and is priced close to the spot price of gold.
Yeah its not even half gold, it even looks red like copper next to real gold. 14k is at least more then half gold and so should actually be classified as gold but I agree that buying 22k or 24k is better. I wouldnt wear a 24k chain often though it would deform and break very easily, 22k is probably best.
@@twotex4235 if you wanna be technical yes it is and so is 18k. It doesn’t even look like gold. But we don’t rely on gold for buying power unlike other countries

2400 for labor is insane

Not true bro let’s say that chain in 14k is worth 1k and weighs 20vrams 38 dollars a gram times to is less then double that’s about fair market

Gold Bullion, Gold Bars and 22KT & 24KT Gold Coins are good investments. Higher purity jewelry is for fashion like any other lower purity of jewelry.
$62.50 a gram for the solid chain😆 guys out of his mind
Everybody do the math $30 for a gram of 10K* 24 and then 43.43 for 14k per gram way overpriced
8k for that chain is crazy lol

Ah love the comments! 8k for 128g is more than 3 grand over spot.
That's crazy. That's highway robbery and those chains are machine made. Very little labor goes into it.
$9800 today just for the gold. You’ll never buy gold at spot price though, so this is now at least a $14k chain.
But, gold is 24k. For $77 you get a gram of pure gold. These chains have less than half pure gold, so either way it’s only worth about $3k
I still have my mom's 18in hollow rope I found and gave her as a kid 🙏
Get what you can afford
If get one if they werent SOLD OUT

Both are equally bad. 22kt gold is the best solid gold to buy as investment and jewelry!
22kt is not as good for daily wear. Scratches very easily. 18kt is a nice medium.

Its solid and hollow
