      I bought a 14k solid gold necklace in 2003 and its value today is up crazy. Also, I wear it every single day. Looks, ocean, wherever… doesn’t tarnish, doesn’t fade. That’s what I’d pay for. I got a Jaxxon chai recently for $100+- and it faded quick over the summer. Doesn’t look nice anymore.

I'm not sure why someone would make a 10k plated silver chain though tbh because it wouldn't be much more expensive at all to make it 14k plated

    Would you do a review as through as this on Imperium jewelry? They advertise 18k gold over stainless steel.

    This why I chose to buy my GOS Cuban from you, because you keep it 1hundun Gus.

    How many wears before it turns? Seems you were able to scrub the plating off very easily.

    I purchased the iced 10mm Cuban from them but it’s only for a once in a blue moon wear. I already have two solid Cuban chains a 10k 7.7 mm 93 grams and a micro Cuban 14k 4mm plus a 9mm bracelet 50 or 52 grams so I’m not worried how this new Jaxson will turn out lol

    Heres a question, what do you do with the chains after the review ? Cause you sanded the chain and i wonder if there is any replating done or its sold as is ?
