Mike, I’ve asked this a while ago, but wanted to see if your opinion changed. Do you find a difference in wearing a diamond cut Franco versus a plain Franco in terms of comfort? A lot of people, including Braden state that the plain Franco is just smoother and more comfortable to wear. You’ve had so many chains your opinion means a lot. Thanks!
oh man I was in the same situation when i was buying my 3mm franco. I went with the plain version because it shines better IMO and is INSANELY smooth, super super luxurious feeling chain, I couldn't be happier with it and would never consider the D/C version. I had a DC rope before this and found that snagged on hair and clothing way too often which is never nice when you're wearing it all day everyday and plan to hand it down to your kids someday. I would without a doubt only recommend the plain version if you're in the market for a franco plus you get a couple extra grams of gold!
@@pancakesociety743 really good info! I’m buying this chain for the exact same reason… Eventually, passing this to my son. Comfort is paramount when wearing a chain, to me, every day, and I agree, the plain Franco looks great! Thanks so much for your response here. Continue wearing your chain in the best of health and happiness.
@@neobooger Love to hear that bro! that's the amazing thing about gold jewellery, the fact that it will last multiple lifetimes. one more thing I forgot to mention is the plain franco will always be cool and a classic whereas a diamond cut is a little more trendy and might look outdated someday. we're already seeing it with the new "prism cut" style franco. I promise you wont be disappointed or underwhelmed with a plain cut whatsoever!! wear your new franco in the best of happiness and health to you too my man!
What are your thoughts on a 2mm Franco for a daily solitary wear? It's so hard to tell from videos if this is too thin of a chain for everyday use, I'm wondering if you'd consider it "dainty" for a man. I'm thinking of it with or without pendant. Any help is appreciated.
@@TheTriedTruth I have my eyes on a 2mm 23k Franco but it's an online purchase, so I don't know how small it really will be. I'm thinking I may be able to get more bang for my buck going down in carat and going bigger mm. The chain is really nice but I think I may regret not going up in mm.
I went for Franco. didn't seem to like it all that much in person. got a 2mm box. 15g for a 1.8. very dense. here's the thing, it seems stiff on the curvature, right at the bottom where the pendent sits. now I may want a Franco again. does the Franco do the same thing Mike? kinda get stiff where pendent sits. I almost feel like the box chain is going to bend...
@@TheTriedTruth okay. I thought so. I’m thinking a 3mm jacoje link actually coming back at 2.7mm on calipers. My bracelet. Chain will be for my mini crucifix. Or… a 2.7 jacoje curb. Any suggestions? Appreciate you. Or just keep this box.
are these the only chains you gave at the moment? something tells me you'll be selling something soon

It’s very small
But if it is all you have then rock it proudly.
I’d try to go 2.5 or 3 if at all possible

The Cross wears fine on the rope

Probably will be the case, the JACOJE link or heavy link or rope or round box chain may be a better option

@@pooch805 the ropes are pendant gods at any size but I personally like the small size heavy links for pendants
Time to cop a real camera boss you’ve been at this for a while. Content is great tho. 🍻
Maybe buy some chains that cost more than $200 too 😂
@nightmares2night77
Thanks for the advice.
@@nightmares2night77get a life
@@nightmares2night77lmfaooo you must be new to gold jewelry specifically Franco’s if you sound this goofy. And he’s on the jacoje vip
@@nightmares2night77u lame
What Jacoje crosses do you currently have?
I fresh out!
Of crosses!
@@TheTriedTruthIf you were to get another which one would it be. I got baptized last week, looking to get a cross but on a budget.
@@RRChains a mini boss cross with a 1.5 mm chain
@@TheTriedTruthThat’s what I was thinking!
I like the 24 inch look!
24" is the best it's long enough to fit over your head and its not too long and not too short.
Diamond flooded box cross is dope I been wanting to get it but haven't saved up enough to get it
Love it!
3.5mm will b perfect for the standard pendant
If you're ever selling this, let me know.
nice
