It’s a beautiful chain. 3.5-4 is perfection in Franco Anything bigger looks gaudy Easily the most versatile chain Pendant or no pendant, you can wear it to the club , a concert or a gala
Congrats on your purchase my brotha. Very happy to finally see somebody review the 3.5mm because that's definitely the size that I want to end up grabbing. Enjoy your new piece🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@MrDaleVerde you're more than welcome brotha and yes that's definitely a great size. It was either a 3mm or a 3.5mm but I think you just convinced me to grab the 3.5mm. Once again enjoy your new peace my brotha🙏🏾
Much appreciated! Jacoje definitely has some of the better quality franco chains I’ve seen. If you’re looking for a solid franco for everyday wear the 3.5 from Jacoje is the way to go IMO.
Fire pick up brotha!! I ordered 2 ropes diamond cut 2.5mm 20 inch and 4mm 20 inch along with 1/2 oz gold bar pendant and mini Buddha pendant. I already received the chains and they are fucking amazing, I can’t wait for my pendants to arrive. My next purchase will be that 3.5mm Franco it looks so good.
Thanks! You definitely can’t go wrong with the 2mm either so solid choice! Franco is just so clean overall, no matter the size. Enjoy your piece as well 👌🏾
@@goldbytheounce4411 facts. Oh and based on your latest vid you might’ve convinced me to make a rope & cross my next setup. Super simple yet fire look 🔥
Great review. I ordered the 3mm Franco yesterday. Already have a 5 mm rope in 22 inch. The France will be in a 20 inch. I was going for the small to bigger look. Also I have a wing pendant on rope
I appreciate it! I was torn between the 3, 3.5 & 4mm, and I don’t regret settling in the middle. Feel like I would’ve regretted getting the smaller 3mm and would’ve been just fine with the larger 4mm, but I’m definitely content with the 3.5. Hopefully this vid helps with your decision
Just wanted to let you know... that this chain man... looks perfect on you! Chain is D.O.P.E. looking🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Maybe you get one day yourself a Pamp pendant to round the appearance up but for now... alone the chain is lit brother💪🏽 Shoutouts from 🇩🇪
Much appreciated! I love the solitary look with no pendant, but definitely been thinking about whether or not I want to add a pendant to it. I’m leaning more toward a double chain though, where the 2nd chain will be shorter and have a small pendant
@@MrDaleVerde Aaaah I understand! That double look! Maybe it's a tad to much for you but I used to go with tripple look. Like two really thin 2mm 20" and 22" and then a 24" 5mm "heavy" chain with an cross pendant. But that's just me 👌
@@Mthusiast4life yeah I could see that triple chain look being fire, but it might be a tad too much for my taste personally. A double chain is already pushing it a bit lol
Im glad someone made another rare 3.5mm franco review. Was gonna get the 3 but i think the 3.5 would be a wiser choice. Thinking of getting mines in 24 in tho here in the next couple months. Prolly gonna pair it with a boss cross alil after that. Nice vid tho (:
Thanks fam! If you’re indecisive between the 3 & the 3.5, I’d definitely say go up! It’s definitely worth it IMO. The boss cross would be a dope setup with a 3.5mm franco. And 24” isn’t a bad length at all, but just be mindful the pendant is gonna drop it a bit and the bottom of the cross might hang it down an extra 2” or so. If you like long chain setups tho go for it, still would be a fire combo regardless
@@MrDaleVerde you’re welcome brother (: ,yeah i just want something im gonna slip over my head. But yeah 3.5 i think its where its at cuz Braden said the 3.5 is more closer to a 4mm & i was thinking of getting a standard boss cross. I dont think it should weigh it down too much & its not too long of a pendant which i like. I want my setup to be subtle & not too flashy. I dont like too much attention. Id mainly wear the boss cross at certain nice events & just the solitaire franco for everyday wear/use for like work or working out & such. Cant wait to join u in the jacoje fam. 5mm franco bracelet would be choice too 👍🏽
Can't wait for my joint I think I'm gonna pull the trigger on the 7mm franco I was gonna do the 5 or 6mm I'm going in on the 7 not sure what pendant though or if I should wait on the pendant. Congratulations on your purchase enjoy brotha
Much appreciated! A 7mm franco would definitely be a big flex! I’d say feel out the chain first before going with a pendant, you might like the solitary look. And if you do go with a pendant keep in mind you’d need one with a sizable bale for the chain’s thickness. I know either way you’d enjoy it when you get it tho 🔥
Much appreciated! I see a Miami Cuban bracelet from Daniel in my near future... the one you have is fire 🔥 how are you feeling about that 7mm? You upgraded yet or do you still have it? Looks like a good size to go with but been thinking about starting with at least the 8mm
Good review. I was looking at this exact chain. I ended up ordering the 22" 2.5mm D/C Franco and might grab a small pendant. Think the 20" 18kt 3.5 mm Plain Franco is my next buy!
Much appreciated! You can never go wrong with the Franco & pendant pair. Pretty sure you’re as anxious as I was waiting for the chain after finally ordering. That 18k 3.5 mm is gonna hit different tho once you secure it!
I got the 3mm DC same time as you, this was my first 14K piece of jewelry and can’t go with another company! Amazing quality, shine and true gold weight. The plain in 4mm is my next purchase what do you think of the plain style?
All facts!! Definitely a dope idea to go bigger for your 2nd one, been thinking about eventually copping either a bigger & longer rope or franco to couple with the one I have too. I do like the plain style too, but I personally prefer the roundedness and extra shimmer of the diamond cut.
Totally up to you at the end of the day, but I would suggest if your budget allows it, go with the bigger size! If you get the smaller size you stand the chance of wishing you went with the larger one. Haven’t heard of too many ppl going larger & wished they hadn’t.
If you had the 1.5 you’d def appreciate the thickness of the 3.5. Go ahead & grab it so you & your son can have a matching set. My son always wants to wear mine & he’s only 2 lol might have to end up getting him his own
Appreciate it!! I haven’t paired it up with a pendant. I have gotten an 18” 2.5 mm rope tho & really like the double chain look. I do often play around with the thought of getting matching pendants for both tho. Maybe sometime down the line
How’s the presence? I’m being convinced I should save up for the 3.5 instead of just getting the 3 right now. I want a good ammount of shine but nothing too much, is it a good size to you? How does it look ? Great chain!
Much appreciated! If you’re tryna choose between the 3 & 3.5 I would definitely say it’ll be worth it to save for the 3.5. That was my dilemma too & I’m glad I went up. Personally feel like I wouldn’t have been satisfied with the 3mm. As far as presence, for me I feel it’s not too small to where it pops just enough to where it’s still subtle, but not too big to where I can wear it comfortably in almost any situation (work, formal occasion, party, etc).
Crazy you mention pairing it with a 2.5mm rope bc that’s exactly what my plans are in the near future. That’s said, I don’t think it would be too much at all. Wanna eventually get an 18” 2.5mm rope with a mini cross. Can’t decide yet if I want a regular mini cross or pay extra for the mini diamond cross.
@@MrDaleVerde hell ya, I was gonna buy a diamond cross as well, tryna get in that 1.5 inch range if I can, I like some on trax although they aren’t solid but said after I get the Franco I’ll determine that. Lmk if u get that rope man that’s a fire setup glad we could relate I’m also like 5’5” not too tall so this gives me the best size reference I can find.
@@MrDaleVerde sounds good I’ll be on the lookout, I also have a 2.5 18k rope review on my channel it’s a 20 inch but decided to start doing reviews of what I have. Stay up man
Exactly the chain im getting 3.5mm 22 is long enough to look relax but short enough for a daily. Can you please check if the size is a real 3.5mm and not 3.8mm cause quite often stores say one size and they sell you a different size almost identical lol
Wearing it daily was my thought exactly, and I do just that, now paired with an 18” 2.5mm rope chain. The size is slightly bigger than 3.5mm, which is completely fine with me bc I’d rather get more than what I paid for than less.
Thanks man! Franco with a standard boss cross is definitely a fire setup too. Tryna decide whether to eventually get a cross for mine or layer it with a shorter chain & mini cross
That Franco is beautiful man I wanna get a Franco soon same size as you have I have a few jacoje chain reviews check them out if ur interested great video 👍
Much appreciated man! Checked your channel & realized I’ve seen a few of em. Solid reviews, keep up the great work 👌🏾 Definitely gonna check more out, notice you got a nice collection & plan on adding at least a few more to mine
I feel like I would definitely appreciate extra thickness of the 4mm, but as far as an everyday chain (for me) I still think the 3.5 would be more ideal. Can’t go wrong either way tho, the 4 def doesn’t seem overly thick
Great chain! Is that a diamond cut Franco? If it is diamond cut, can you tell me what you've noticed as far as if it grabs on the material of your shirts and how comfortable is it on your skin? Does it feel scratchy on your skin at all? Thanks in advance and again, that is a VERY nice chain!! 👍
Much appreciated! Yup, it’s a diamond cut franco. I do notice it snags my shirt sometimes but very rarely to where it’s almost negligible (seems to happen only with non-cotton shirts). Same goes for neck snags... sometimes I’d get a short hair snag on my neck, but that doesn’t happen too often either. Neither one makes me wanna wear the chain any less. Only time I take it off is to shower or hoop, otherwise it’s on all day every day.
@@MrChangeordie good question. Showering shouldn’t harm the gold or anything, but I just feel like showering with it would cause it to lose its shine quicker & require more frequent polishing to get the shine back, with all the chemicals in shower water.
It’s still holding just as strong as when I first got it. I don’t see this chain breaking or becoming less durable anytime soon, as the franco link is one of the strongest. If anything, the lobster clasp may wear over time or the links that connect the clasp to the franco.
Nice chain, fam! 💥🚀 How are you digging the 3.5mm Franco after almost 2 1/2 years? I leaning towards 20” 3mm dc Franco 18k white gold. I have a 20” 2mm dc Franco 18k white gold that I wear solely with a pendant. It is about 15g. The 3mm Franco is ~30.4g so that is a nice jump in weight for only going up 1mm. It is a nice size and weight for an everyday, stand-alone chain. That being said, the 3.5mm dc Franco 18k white gold is tempting (~53.5g), but I don’t want to drop that kind of coin. It’s crazy the jump in total grams going up 1/2mm in the Francos, especially in 18k. I could get 3.5mm dc Franco in 14k white gold (~44.7g), but I am pretty much set on 18k white gold. Argh, what a dilemma! I only do white gold jewelry and prefer 18k for the extra density and heft. And subtle flex as you stated. Jacoje has an informative video on UA-cam - 14 vs. 18k white gold. Braden’s quote nails the description of 18k white gold: “More gold around the neck for that spec”
Much appreciated! 2 1/2 yrs later I’m still loving my Franco, still glad I made the decision on these specs as I still feel comfy wearing it all day every day, coupled with an 18” 14k 2.5mm rope chain. I really think I wanna add a matching pendant to both, but no rush on that as I like the paired look without one. Are you thinking of replacing your current 2mm Franco with the 3mm or possibly the 3.5mm? If so, you can never go wrong to upsize imo. Also, I feel like if you’re torn between two sizes go with the bigger one! Less chance of regrets that way. Although I fully understand that price starts adding up quickly! If 18k is your thing, I’d say stick with it. 14k for me personally is a sweet spot & I never wanna drop down lower than that when shopping around for jewelry, so if 18k is your standard then that’s what it is if you ask me
I am going to keep the 2mm Franco to pair with my pendant (custom Bobby White diamond lion pendant) and add the 3mm Franco which will be worn as a standalone chain. The 20” 3mm Franco in 18k white gold is about 30-31g and a nice weight for an everyday chain. I never take my chains off. Sleep, shower, workout, etc. with them on. 18kt is my thing, so gonna stick with it.
I don’t have a good pendant right now to really showcase one on it unfortunately, but I keep going back & forth with myself on whether or not I wanna get a solid pendant to put on it. The 22” works perfectly for my intentions currently just as a solitary chain. The 20” would serve you well too, but it might unintentionally tuck into a crew neck shirt much easier than a 22”, which is why I prefer the 22”.
I love the extra shine of the DC. The extra shine is subtle tho, so I don’t think you’d be overdoing it with a DC chain in a longer size to couple it with a smaller one. Still can’t lose by matching with a longer plain tho. It all comes down to personal preference!
@@MrDaleVerde got it bro. How about the thickness? We have the same height although I'm more muscular than you. Do you think I should get 3.5 or 4mm? My neck size is 16
@@M0stBlunt3d for an everyday any situation chain, 3.5 is perfect (for ME of course). However I do think the 4 would’ve been just fine too and possibly would’ve given just a little more, given it’s a tad bit bigger. If you’re a bigger frame than me, I’d say go for the 4. I don’t think you’d have any regrets going a lil bigger.
Much appreciated! When it comes to chain length, it all comes down to personal preference honestly. Gotta ask yourself if you prefer longer or shorter chains, do you want an “all purpose” length, how thick is your neck, do you want to layer it with other chains, etc. Some ppl go 24” and up bc for most head sizes you can take your chain off & on without using the clasp. At the end of the day it all boils down to how you plan on wearing your chain. That said tho, I do feel like 22” is a versatile & ideal length for any type of person.
@@MrDaleVerde thankyou for the deatiled response! appreciate it. if you go for the 2 chain layered look with a 20 inch what length would the other one have to be and would they have to be the same width?
@@pinoyams it could be whatever length you want it to be. General rule of thumb tho is if you’re spacing them out & adding a pendant to the shorter chain, keep at least a 4” difference so the pendant & longer chain don’t overlap. If no pendant, 2” or 4” gap are both clean looks, so depends on how much of a gap you’d want. Some people even get the same length and it comes out looking good. Also, folks normally make the longer chain the thicker one. Keep in mind though, this is all opinion & personal preference. Go with what you think you’d like best
Im about ur complexion and I’m considering buying the rose gold in the same mm size 3.5.. how do u like to rose gold version of this compared to the yellow gold version from jacoje??
From what I’ve seen, I think the rose gold franco from Jacoje looks good too. I personally prefer the yellow gold tho, but that’s just me. If rose gold is your thing, you’d definitely be pleased in my opinion.
@@kwameg.114 man I wish I did have one to share with you. I’m not sponsored by Jacoje or anything, just an everyday honest reviewer who genuinely enjoys the product.
@@keeferdog5617 thanks! 3 yrs later I still have it & still wear it every single day paired with a 2.5mm 18 inch DC rope chain. Both are still holding up strong!
I’m 6’2”. Depends on what you feel works for you & what your intentions are tho. But if you feel it’s a good size in your opinion for me at my height, this size should work just fine for you.
It does snag my neck hairs, but rarely. It even more rarely snags my shirt. The weight of the chain helps it to consistently hang down for the most part
I don’t wanna mislead you by saying “yes it’s a decent size” bc it’s subjective. I would say for me, the thickness is just enough. Any smaller (the 3mm) I might’ve regretted it. If you’re thinking about getting the 3.5mm, it might be a safe bet to save a bit more & go up to a 4mm. That way you’d more than likely be satisfied with the thickness.
@@MrDaleVerde thank you for replying back k bro.I liked ur video appreciated the info I will definitely go with the 4mm the 3.5 u have is a beautiful chain....
I still love it, still wear it all day every day, now paired with an 18” 2.5mm 14k rope chain. I would say tho, if you’re torn between a 3.5mm & a 4mm, go larger. That way you’d be much less likely to have buyer’s remorse bc of the size
@@MrDaleVerde Good to hear. I ordered the 3.5 in a 24". Planning on buying a 5 mm in a few months probably 18 carrot. If not a 7 mm rope. So I bought myself the 3.5 and and my wife a 2.5 rope in 18 carrot
Yeah that’s no problem at all. I paid $2,870 for it, which as of today is still the asking price on the website for the chain I chose. After taxes & delivery fees my full total was $2,895
Nah I decided to go with the 5mm Miami Cuban, 14 kt 22 inch. I have to pay extra for taxes and duties because I'm in Australia, but his prices are so good it doesn't really matter.
@@Razlazl666 wise choice with the Miami Cuban, you can never go wrong there 👌🏾 I plan on eventually getting a Cuban bracelet, after I get a 2nd chain to layer with this one. Hope you enjoy it man
@@MrDaleVerde Would you ever consider the same chain in 18kt? I only want 18kt for the deeper gold color, but maybe I just need to calm it down and get the exact chain you got.. What do you think? I trust you bc that chain looks dope af on you. I'm 6'2" athletic build like u so we probably got similar proportions. Also, what do you think about the 20" with this chain for a daily wear vs 22"? Basically, for a daily chain that won't ever come off, 14kt or 18kt? and 20" or 22"?
@@jaredtop_ I love my setup (14k 22”), but at the end of the day it’s all up to the person who’s wearing it. 18k would be good too, clearly a richer gold, one thing to consider is the purer the gold the softer the metal will be. Although I doubt there would be any concern of a daily 3.5mm 18k solid Franco being too soft, since the Franco style is so dense. Also the price… for the 3.5mm Franco the 18k is a bit of a jump for most people, but if price isn’t a concern 18k is definitely not a bad choice. Regarding 20” length, that’s not a bad choice either but there are a few things to consider. One thing is the fact that the 20” may have a tendency to unintentionally tuck into your shirt much easier than 22”. Another thing to consider is planning your setup for the future. If you plan on layering chains, gotta think about what lengths would suit your style best. For me, I got a 22” with intentions of later getting a thinner 18” chain, which I did and I love it. I also plan on getting a pendant for both my 18” and 22” chains too, and keeping that 4” gap in chain length is critical to the look of the smaller length having a pendant, so it doesn’t overlap the longer. Honestly I could go on and on about why I consider this chain & length, but don’t wanna make this reply super long lol end of the day tho, 20” 18k 3.5mm Franco is still a great everyday setup in my opinion. Just remember to consider your future setup and determine whether or not you think it will fit it.
@@MrDaleVerde Dale!!! This is the most in depth and well thought out reply I've ever gotten on YT! I really really appreciate it man, and you addressed every single thing I'm worried about. I just pulled the trigger on the 20" 14kt 3.5mm. I figured that I want to wear this chain 24/7, whether I'm sleeping, showering, swimming, working out, etc. So 14kt >>> 18kt for that 100%. I literally only wanted 18kt for the color.. And I get to save a fat chunk of cash.
14 karat gold is garbage. You’re getting ripped off going through that company. Anybody wearing Jacoby I laugh , do you know nothing about gold or jewelry.
I personally only buy 18kt+ and I’ll buy 14kt at a little over melting price via eBay or something, but it’s not like everyone can afford 18kt or 23kt. Anyone can know the fact that 18kt-24kt is better value than 14kt, not being able to pay for it doesn’t mean you know nothing about jewelry. Judging someone for their choice in jewelry is honestly lame af tho 😂 like does saying “14 karat gold is garbage” so people on the internet can know your opinion make your day better? Gold is a game of baby steps. You work your way up.

Much appreciated!
Thanks for the the video.
And thanks for watching!
Damn that’s nice
Much appreciated! 💪🏾
THAT CHAIN IS OFF THE CHAIN!!!! damn
Much appreciated! I see a Miami Cuban bracelet from Daniel in my near future... the one you have is fire 🔥 how are you feeling about that 7mm? You upgraded yet or do you still have it? Looks like a good size to go with but been thinking about starting with at least the 8mm
24" 5mm is my top choice 👌🏻
Not a bad choice, that 5mm def gets more attention!!
🔥🔥🔥

Good review. I was looking at this exact chain. I ended up ordering the 22" 2.5mm D/C Franco and might grab a small pendant. Think the 20" 18kt 3.5 mm Plain Franco is my next buy!
Much appreciated! You can never go wrong with the Franco & pendant pair. Pretty sure you’re as anxious as I was waiting for the chain after finally ordering. That 18k 3.5 mm is gonna hit different tho once you secure it!
@@MrDaleVerde ended up ordering the 3.5 plain Franco in 14k instead of 18. Looking forward to it!
@@jdmuc13 nice! Do you plan on doubling up with your 2.5 franco?
I got the 3mm DC same time as you, this was my first 14K piece of jewelry and can’t go with another company! Amazing quality, shine and true gold weight.
The plain in 4mm is my next purchase what do you think of the plain style?
All facts!! Definitely a dope idea to go bigger for your 2nd one, been thinking about eventually copping either a bigger & longer rope or franco to couple with the one I have too. I do like the plain style too, but I personally prefer the roundedness and extra shimmer of the diamond cut.
going to get the dc franco eventually. not sure 3 or 3.5 mm- probably 22". ive got the 3.2 cuban 20" to pair it with
Totally up to you at the end of the day, but I would suggest if your budget allows it, go with the bigger size! If you get the smaller size you stand the chance of wishing you went with the larger one. Haven’t heard of too many ppl going larger & wished they hadn’t.
@@MrDaleVerde I appreciate the insight. Might end up going with the 3.5 then. Thanks
Yeah I i got the 1.5 but for me its too small gave it to my son for school lol I need that 3.5 that thing looks drippy
If you had the 1.5 you’d def appreciate the thickness of the 3.5. Go ahead & grab it so you & your son can have a matching set. My son always wants to wear mine & he’s only 2 lol might have to end up getting him his own
that's a beautiful piece, bro. i know the size is perfect stand-alone or with pendant, but did you ever pair it up with a pendant?
Appreciate it!! I haven’t paired it up with a pendant. I have gotten an 18” 2.5 mm rope tho & really like the double chain look. I do often play around with the thought of getting matching pendants for both tho. Maybe sometime down the line
Very nice 👌
Thank you Grace! Gonna most likely couple it with a rope & pendant down the line. You convinced me a while ago the two pair beautifully 🙌🏾
@@MrDaleVerde you will be so happy. I actually wear the two paired up more than my cuban
@@amazinggrace313 and to think you almost sold the rope 🥴 lol
stupid nice quality that’s a nice chain
Dale magnificent bout his cash
💯
How’s the presence? I’m being convinced I should save up for the 3.5 instead of just getting the 3 right now. I want a good ammount of shine but nothing too much, is it a good size to you? How does it look ? Great chain!
Much appreciated! If you’re tryna choose between the 3 & 3.5 I would definitely say it’ll be worth it to save for the 3.5. That was my dilemma too & I’m glad I went up. Personally feel like I wouldn’t have been satisfied with the 3mm.
As far as presence, for me I feel it’s not too small to where it pops just enough to where it’s still subtle, but not too big to where I can wear it comfortably in almost any situation (work, formal occasion, party, etc).
@@MrDaleVerde appreciate, thank you man
Man seeing this making me think ion need no 24 inch 22inch look just right
If you have a similar build to me & are planning to wear it all day every day, I’d def say 22” is the way to go!
50 grams is just a nice little flex I might have to go up to this 3.5! I wanna pair it with a 2.5 rope that I have tho and don’t know if it’s too much
Crazy you mention pairing it with a 2.5mm rope bc that’s exactly what my plans are in the near future. That’s said, I don’t think it would be too much at all. Wanna eventually get an 18” 2.5mm rope with a mini cross. Can’t decide yet if I want a regular mini cross or pay extra for the mini diamond cross.
@@MrDaleVerde hell ya, I was gonna buy a diamond cross as well, tryna get in that 1.5 inch range if I can, I like some on trax although they aren’t solid but said after I get the Franco I’ll determine that. Lmk if u get that rope man that’s a fire setup glad we could relate I’m also like 5’5” not too tall so this gives me the best size reference I can find.
@@jaydens2756 for sure man, I’ll most likely do another review once I get that rope
@@MrDaleVerde sounds good I’ll be on the lookout, I also have a 2.5 18k rope review on my channel it’s a 20 inch but decided to start doing reviews of what I have. Stay up man
@DaleVerde Do you still wear it every day? And did you ever get the rope to stack with it?
Exactly the chain im getting 3.5mm 22 is long enough to look relax but short enough for a daily. Can you please check if the size is a real 3.5mm and not 3.8mm cause quite often stores say one size and they sell you a different size almost identical lol
Wearing it daily was my thought exactly, and I do just that, now paired with an 18” 2.5mm rope chain. The size is slightly bigger than 3.5mm, which is completely fine with me bc I’d rather get more than what I paid for than less.
Thats a dope chain man imma get a jacoje franco too soon im think the 2.5 mm diamond cut w the standard boss cross
Thanks man! Franco with a standard boss cross is definitely a fire setup too. Tryna decide whether to eventually get a cross for mine or layer it with a shorter chain & mini cross
@@MrDaleVerde i think the layer w smaller cross could be dope
@@MrDaleVerde time to get a miami cuban bracelet to go w it too
@@nick-vq1ef and that’s a fact 💯 crazy bc I’ve been thinking the exact same thing. Miami Cuban bracelet is in the near future for sure
@@MrDaleVerde yeah if i wasnt such a broke boy I would’ve been got that chain an bracelet lol
That Franco is beautiful man I wanna get a Franco soon same size as you have I have a few jacoje chain reviews check them out if ur interested great video 👍
Much appreciated man! Checked your channel & realized I’ve seen a few of em. Solid reviews, keep up the great work 👌🏾 Definitely gonna check more out, notice you got a nice collection & plan on adding at least a few more to mine
Looks good. I was looking at 4mm. Would you take the 3.5 over the 4?
I feel like I would definitely appreciate extra thickness of the 4mm, but as far as an everyday chain (for me) I still think the 3.5 would be more ideal. Can’t go wrong either way tho, the 4 def doesn’t seem overly thick
I think you got the right idea bruh 3-4m is perfect. Not too thick. Looking for a 22k in that thickness
Great chain! Is that a diamond cut Franco? If it is diamond cut, can you tell me what you've noticed as far as if it grabs on the material of your shirts and how comfortable is it on your skin? Does it feel scratchy on your skin at all? Thanks in advance and again, that is a VERY nice chain!! 👍
Much appreciated! Yup, it’s a diamond cut franco. I do notice it snags my shirt sometimes but very rarely to where it’s almost negligible (seems to happen only with non-cotton shirts). Same goes for neck snags... sometimes I’d get a short hair snag on my neck, but that doesn’t happen too often either. Neither one makes me wanna wear the chain any less. Only time I take it off is to shower or hoop, otherwise it’s on all day every day.
@@MrDaleVerde Awesome - thank you very much for the reply.
@@MrDaleVerde
I'm just curious Bro why take it off for showering ?
@@MrChangeordie good question. Showering shouldn’t harm the gold or anything, but I just feel like showering with it would cause it to lose its shine quicker & require more frequent polishing to get the shine back, with all the chemicals in shower water.
Thinking of picking this one up. How has the chain lasted over these past 2 years? Is it still durable.
It’s still holding just as strong as when I first got it. I don’t see this chain breaking or becoming less durable anytime soon, as the franco link is one of the strongest. If anything, the lobster clasp may wear over time or the links that connect the clasp to the franco.
heat i gotta upgrade my lil 2mm franco
Keep the 2mm & stack it if you can!
@@MrDaleVerde stacked it with a 5.5 flat curb but want a bigger Franco
Nice chain, fam! 💥🚀 How are you digging the 3.5mm Franco after almost 2 1/2 years?
I leaning towards 20” 3mm dc Franco 18k white gold. I have a 20” 2mm dc Franco 18k white gold that I wear solely with a pendant. It is about 15g. The 3mm Franco is ~30.4g so that is a nice jump in weight for only going up 1mm. It is a nice size and weight for an everyday, stand-alone chain. That being said, the 3.5mm dc Franco 18k white gold is tempting (~53.5g), but I don’t want to drop that kind of coin. It’s crazy the jump in total grams going up 1/2mm in the Francos, especially in 18k. I could get 3.5mm dc Franco in 14k white gold (~44.7g), but I am pretty much set on 18k white gold. Argh, what a dilemma!
I only do white gold jewelry and prefer 18k for the extra density and heft. And subtle flex as you stated. Jacoje has an informative video on UA-cam - 14 vs. 18k white gold. Braden’s quote nails the description of 18k white gold:
“More gold around the neck for that spec”
Much appreciated! 2 1/2 yrs later I’m still loving my Franco, still glad I made the decision on these specs as I still feel comfy wearing it all day every day, coupled with an 18” 14k 2.5mm rope chain. I really think I wanna add a matching pendant to both, but no rush on that as I like the paired look without one.
Are you thinking of replacing your current 2mm Franco with the 3mm or possibly the 3.5mm? If so, you can never go wrong to upsize imo. Also, I feel like if you’re torn between two sizes go with the bigger one! Less chance of regrets that way. Although I fully understand that price starts adding up quickly!
If 18k is your thing, I’d say stick with it. 14k for me personally is a sweet spot & I never wanna drop down lower than that when shopping around for jewelry, so if 18k is your standard then that’s what it is if you ask me
I am going to keep the 2mm Franco to pair with my pendant (custom Bobby White diamond lion pendant) and add the 3mm Franco which will be worn as a standalone chain. The 20” 3mm Franco in 18k white gold is about 30-31g and a nice weight for an everyday chain. I never take my chains off. Sleep, shower, workout, etc. with them on.
18kt is my thing, so gonna stick with it.
Nice look bro, is it diamond or plain cut?
Much appreciated! It’s diamond cut. 💎
Nice chain! Is this plain or DC?
Much appreciated! It’s DC
Yo can you do a video with a Pendant on it? Are you liking that 22? Not sure to get 20 or 22
I don’t have a good pendant right now to really showcase one on it unfortunately, but I keep going back & forth with myself on whether or not I wanna get a solid pendant to put on it. The 22” works perfectly for my intentions currently just as a solitary chain. The 20” would serve you well too, but it might unintentionally tuck into a crew neck shirt much easier than a 22”, which is why I prefer the 22”.
How do you like the D/C bro? I may spring for a plain and layer it with a smaller dc. I feel like the DC in a longer size may be too flashy?
I love the extra shine of the DC. The extra shine is subtle tho, so I don’t think you’d be overdoing it with a DC chain in a longer size to couple it with a smaller one. Still can’t lose by matching with a longer plain tho. It all comes down to personal preference!
@@MrDaleVerde got it bro. How about the thickness? We have the same height although I'm more muscular than you. Do you think I should get 3.5 or 4mm? My neck size is 16
@@M0stBlunt3d for an everyday any situation chain, 3.5 is perfect (for ME of course). However I do think the 4 would’ve been just fine too and possibly would’ve given just a little more, given it’s a tad bit bigger. If you’re a bigger frame than me, I’d say go for the 4. I don’t think you’d have any regrets going a lil bigger.
Can 3.5mm franco be to wide to wear with pendant? Could it better to combine it with 3mm?
The 3.5mm shouldn’t be too wide at all for most pendants. You should have enough clearance for the bale to fit comfortably
That chain is so awesome ! what length would you recommend for someone 5'5?
I'm 5'4" and got the 3.5mm 22". I'm gonna get the 3mm 20" for every day and keep this as a show piece w/ a pendant.
Much appreciated! When it comes to chain length, it all comes down to personal preference honestly. Gotta ask yourself if you prefer longer or shorter chains, do you want an “all purpose” length, how thick is your neck, do you want to layer it with other chains, etc. Some ppl go 24” and up bc for most head sizes you can take your chain off & on without using the clasp.
At the end of the day it all boils down to how you plan on wearing your chain. That said tho, I do feel like 22” is a versatile & ideal length for any type of person.
@@MrDaleVerde thankyou for the deatiled response! appreciate it. if you go for the 2 chain layered look with a 20 inch what length would the other one have to be and would they have to be the same width?
@@danzors Hows it going thats awesome! do you like how the 22" length sits? Could the 20" sit untucked?
@@pinoyams it could be whatever length you want it to be. General rule of thumb tho is if you’re spacing them out & adding a pendant to the shorter chain, keep at least a 4” difference so the pendant & longer chain don’t overlap. If no pendant, 2” or 4” gap are both clean looks, so depends on how much of a gap you’d want. Some people even get the same length and it comes out looking good. Also, folks normally make the longer chain the thicker one.
Keep in mind though, this is all opinion & personal preference. Go with what you think you’d like best
Im about ur complexion and I’m considering buying the rose gold in the same mm size 3.5.. how do u like to rose gold version of this compared to the yellow gold version from jacoje??
From what I’ve seen, I think the rose gold franco from Jacoje looks good too. I personally prefer the yellow gold tho, but that’s just me. If rose gold is your thing, you’d definitely be pleased in my opinion.
@@MrDaleVerde nice, got any jacoje coupon code I can use?
@@kwameg.114 man I wish I did have one to share with you. I’m not sponsored by Jacoje or anything, just an everyday honest reviewer who genuinely enjoys the product.
That’s a great looking chain- how’s it holding up 3 years later? Thanks
@@keeferdog5617 thanks! 3 yrs later I still have it & still wear it every single day paired with a 2.5mm 18 inch DC rope chain. Both are still holding up strong!
@@MrDaleVerdeNice man- thinking of popping for the same chain. I’m sure price has gone up in the last 3 years! Wear it in good health!
@@keeferdog5617 much appreciated! Can’t go wrong with it if you ask me!
Do you happen to know the mm size of the endcap? Will the 3.5mm franco work with a standard pendant
Based on reviews from the official Jacoje videos, the 3.5mm franco should definitely work with a standard pendant
@@MrDaleVerde alright thanks, appreciate the help.
I got a 2MM d/c Franco that’ll catch on clothes only without a pendant. I was curious on if your 3.5MM catches at all without a pendant?
It almost never catches. Seems safe to say ~50 grams is a safe bet to hang free on its own
@@MrDaleVerde - but it still catches? All I needed to know, thx
@@Mr-Wade no problem. I should’ve said only with certain material shirts. Regular cotton shirts never, but the blended material shirts it may snag.
Heavier chain ever rarely catches. Got a 3mm d/c franco and it never catches on athletic clothes cotton etc
Hey brother do you think that would look good stacked with a 3mm dc rope 22inch?
I def think pairing this with a slightly smaller rope would be a fire stack. Stacking two round link styles together is hard to mess up!
@@MrDaleVerde thanks brother. I was thinking the same thing
How tall are you? I’m 5 foot 9 and I want to know if this is a good chain size for me.
I’m 6’2”. Depends on what you feel works for you & what your intentions are tho. But if you feel it’s a good size in your opinion for me at my height, this size should work just fine for you.
Does the dc ever get stuck to your shirt or neck hair?
It does snag my neck hairs, but rarely. It even more rarely snags my shirt. The weight of the chain helps it to consistently hang down for the most part
What made you decide to go with the 22 over the 24?
For me personally I didn’t want my everyday chain to hang down too low. Given my neck size, the 22” length is just right imo. But that’s just me
22 is more popular now too
I'm looking to get a 3.5mm franco was wondering does it have so.e decent size in person like some thickness?
I don’t wanna mislead you by saying “yes it’s a decent size” bc it’s subjective. I would say for me, the thickness is just enough. Any smaller (the 3mm) I might’ve regretted it. If you’re thinking about getting the 3.5mm, it might be a safe bet to save a bit more & go up to a 4mm. That way you’d more than likely be satisfied with the thickness.
@@MrDaleVerde thank you for replying back k bro.I liked ur video appreciated the info I will definitely go with the 4mm the 3.5 u have is a beautiful chain....
How's this holding up? Can't make up my mind between 3.5 24" or 4mm. I have a 5mm 24" rope, and a 2.5 franco 22". All 14k dc. Can't make up my mind
I still love it, still wear it all day every day, now paired with an 18” 2.5mm 14k rope chain. I would say tho, if you’re torn between a 3.5mm & a 4mm, go larger. That way you’d be much less likely to have buyer’s remorse bc of the size
@@MrDaleVerde Good to hear. I ordered the 3.5 in a 24". Planning on buying a 5 mm in a few months probably 18 carrot. If not a 7 mm rope. So I bought myself the 3.5 and and my wife a 2.5 rope in 18 carrot
Is it comfortable to wear your chain all day everday?
Absolutely. I wear mine almost all the time. Only times I take it off are to hoop & shower.
Hi bro question how much did it cost you if you’re willing to tell me thank you sow much 🙏🙏
Yeah that’s no problem at all. I paid $2,870 for it, which as of today is still the asking price on the website for the chain I chose. After taxes & delivery fees my full total was $2,895

@@MrDaleVerde Would you ever consider the same chain in 18kt? I only want 18kt for the deeper gold color, but maybe I just need to calm it down and get the exact chain you got.. What do you think? I trust you bc that chain looks dope af on you. I'm 6'2" athletic build like u so we probably got similar proportions. Also, what do you think about the 20" with this chain for a daily wear vs 22"? Basically, for a daily chain that won't ever come off, 14kt or 18kt? and 20" or 22"?
@@jaredtop_ I love my setup (14k 22”), but at the end of the day it’s all up to the person who’s wearing it. 18k would be good too, clearly a richer gold, one thing to consider is the purer the gold the softer the metal will be. Although I doubt there would be any concern of a daily 3.5mm 18k solid Franco being too soft, since the Franco style is so dense. Also the price… for the 3.5mm Franco the 18k is a bit of a jump for most people, but if price isn’t a concern 18k is definitely not a bad choice.
Regarding 20” length, that’s not a bad choice either but there are a few things to consider. One thing is the fact that the 20” may have a tendency to unintentionally tuck into your shirt much easier than 22”. Another thing to consider is planning your setup for the future. If you plan on layering chains, gotta think about what lengths would suit your style best. For me, I got a 22” with intentions of later getting a thinner 18” chain, which I did and I love it. I also plan on getting a pendant for both my 18” and 22” chains too, and keeping that 4” gap in chain length is critical to the look of the smaller length having a pendant, so it doesn’t overlap the longer.
Honestly I could go on and on about why I consider this chain & length, but don’t wanna make this reply super long lol end of the day tho, 20” 18k 3.5mm Franco is still a great everyday setup in my opinion. Just remember to consider your future setup and determine whether or not you think it will fit it.
@@MrDaleVerde Dale!!! This is the most in depth and well thought out reply I've ever gotten on YT! I really really appreciate it man, and you addressed every single thing I'm worried about. I just pulled the trigger on the 20" 14kt 3.5mm. I figured that I want to wear this chain 24/7, whether I'm sleeping, showering, swimming, working out, etc. So 14kt >>> 18kt for that 100%. I literally only wanted 18kt for the color.. And I get to save a fat chunk of cash.
@@jaredtop_ good stuff man, definitely glad I could help! All things considered, you’ll love it!
14k? Lol😂
lmfao what are you rich? 14k is nice
14 karat gold is garbage. You’re getting ripped off going through that company. Anybody wearing Jacoby I laugh , do you know nothing about gold or jewelry.
I know enough to know I got a quality product. To each’s own tho! 🤷🏾♂️
I personally only buy 18kt+ and I’ll buy 14kt at a little over melting price via eBay or something, but it’s not like everyone can afford 18kt or 23kt. Anyone can know the fact that 18kt-24kt is better value than 14kt, not being able to pay for it doesn’t mean you know nothing about jewelry.
Judging someone for their choice in jewelry is honestly lame af tho 😂 like does saying “14 karat gold is garbage” so people on the internet can know your opinion make your day better?
