Got a Jaxxon 5mm Cuban and it was faded out in 8 months flat. Local jewelers want more to plate it than it’s worth. It’s a chain and better than nothing but I’ll be going with at least 10k chain before getting another from Jaxxon. Customer service said to make it last you cannot wear in the shower, pool, do not expose to sweat, do not wear in the shower and don’t sleep in. So you basically can just look at it
@@Onethou they will replace one time for the life of the chain. I was told I couldn’t wear in the shower, pool, ocean, any activities where I would sweat… basically let it live in the jewelry box. What’s the point of having it if you don’t wear it? I don’t ever take mine off.
It is a good comparison and great way to tell them side by side but I bet it would've been even better to do a Jaxxon rope chain (not solid gold) and solid 14k rope chain from Jacoje or a Cuban from both, since I thought the style and shine of the links between a Cuban & rope are sort of different as it is.
First of all, the "color" of gold is by the manufactures, it has nothing to do with ANYTHING. Some places will make sure their pendents match their chains so it doesn't look funny. This girl is a complete idiot and cranks out misinformation every time she speaks. I've never seen somebody say things with such confidence and be a complete airhead and have no idea what they are talking about. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME
Great video! I was wondering if you sleep in your chains? The reason being I own a 3mm solid 10k gold rope chain. I only took it off to shower other wise it was around my neck, including when I was sleeping but unfortunately after around the 2 year mark it was completely wore out and broke on 3 different occasions. Any idea what I was doing wrong?
I bought ONE piece from Jaxxon. Got clowned for buying it before I even put it on my neck. It looks cheddar cheesey on camera, but in person it so WAY worse!
I only wear 14kt gold. I've had my bangles for over 30 yrs. Then I paid 300 to 400.00. Now my bangles run about 1,600.00 and up. I have 8 on my arm I have always worn. Now I have to be careful of getting robbed so I add 3 costume bangles to throw ppl off. I've been lucky so far....
I recently ordered my 5mm 22 inch solid gold cuban with the box lock. I’ve been wanted it for years. If you can afford it Melissa, go ahead and get you one.
Thanks! You make really great videos which are concise, clear, practical, simplistic, and yet still packing a mean punch of info! Thanks also for your genuineness in your product opinions and descriptions. Thank God I found your channel to add to my favs! Keep it going Melissa and get sis back on here for another visit soon as you guys make a great duo! Take care!
I would like to purchase a 14k chain. I sweat a lot, so I don't want to buy hunk of junk. I know a gold-plated chain is the lowest quality and priced. There is a company on E-Bay that gets solid reviews and are quite reputable. Their name is "Shine Brite With a Diamond." They are selling a Semi solid 14k Gold chain. Is that considered two toned or hollow? There are so many variations of gold chains, and I want to make sure I use some discernment if I purchase one.
Once you go solid gold, you can't go back. I would recommend people to save their money to get the solid gold. Over time the plate gold will fade over time. Even when the plated gold is new, you can still see the difference b/t solid gold.
Actually, no you can't because gold can be different colors. It has no bearing on anything. This girl is an idiot. All gold has plating on it, that plating can be MANY different colors. Even the SAME KARAT can be DIFFERENT colors.
How does that make sense? The gold doesn’t mix with the metal under it because of the difference in the melting points yet they have a different color from plated then pure? And metal isn’t even transparent, it reflects, so how would you see a mix of colour? Wouldn’t the difference be overtime when the gold rubs off.
wow that’s a night and day difference. a solid cuban is certainly the dream for me too one day, not for a while though lmao for now I’m gonna give the 5mm jaxxon cuban a shot and hope it fades a little over time
you guys are 100% right I ended up backing out of getting the cuban because honestly I'd probably feel stupid walking around with a plated piece. I got a 4mm 22" solid gold rope instead and couldn't be happier with it!
Jaxxon chain looks more like 18k or 20k gold. It only looks "cheasy" because Westerners don't usually spend money on 20k+ jewelry. They're used to the cheap 10k and 14k stuff.
Yeah 10-14k is def more common here. What throws people off with Jaxxon chains is the fact that it says it’s 14k plating and it looks like this. Real high purity 22k+ looks noticeably different from these plated ones
The funny thing is that they are not cheap. There are so many jewelry stores markup the price at least 3 times the gold price lol versus Thai 23k chain in Thai selling at 5% markup. Crazy.
@@danielhdz123 You don't know anything either. Gold can be many different colors holy shit why are you people so dumb? At least your not making videos like this moron up above. Even the same karat can be different colors. It has absolutely no bearing. You can even have 14k with 18k plating and etc. But again, even if it was ALL the same karat different colors can be achieved for different looks.
Not to hate on your video at all but the information your spreading is not true. 1st as someone else pointed out there 2 different type of chains and the gold content would be lower in a smaller chain. Also the mix for the gold that was used to make the gold can be different. I have two 6mm 24" cuban link chains both 14k solid gold and they have two different hues. Never base your decision on the color! Acid or gun test always!
Uhh well first give it some wear and the jaxxon chain will look more natural like real gold duh lol. And 2 you cant compare both when there not same chain lol smh
As someone who also owns 14K solid gold pieces I agree 100% the Jaxxon looks fake/corny and would never wear it based on that horrible color. Great vid👍🏻
The plating literally looks identical to solid gold, only reason it looks different in the video is theyre two different types of links, the rope dont got flat surfaces and its cut all crazy

Does the extended warranty not cover fading?

@@mxcurtis978weird they advertise u sweating and all that durability. False marketing
😂😂
Plz don't get 10kt. It will eventually tarnish.Go with 14kt if you can.its very pricey especially now but it won't tarnish nor will it deprecate.
Most definitely appreciate the breakdown 😊
Thanks for watching :)

u cant do a rope chain vs a cuban link chain regardless real or plated.. do a rope vs rope bc jaxxon rope chains are slightly diamond cut

Nice gold chain love the Melissa stay motivated dream big 1 mill on the way
Thanks Antwain!
Which brand is better for cuban?
Recently order a 3mm Franco D/C in 20inch to pair it with my 5mm rope 22inch D/C.
Nice pairing! Ropes and Francos are a match made in Heaven

Same, lesson learned never again

Rope chains pop a lot more in the light in general…not a great comparison

Nice pick up! I’ve definitely been eyeing a 4mm for a minute. Thanks for sharing Jason :)
@@melissanacional9662 If you’re wanting a Cuban with the box lock you the smallest one I’ve seen is 4.5mm…just an FYI

Idk, it could be like comparing a diamond that has been polished vs one that has been cut.
Where could I get real but cheapest gold at

Plated looks so much better

The 5mm is definitely nice but I agree. If it faded a bit it would look better lol
Save your money this video shows how blatantly fake/corny it looks compared to real solid gold.
You’re gonna feel bad walking around with it and everyone else got a solid gold chain.

Solid gold is deep yellow almost orange like the jaxxxon chain…
Lol looks like you don't know anything 14k is light yellow 18k is dark yellow

So its 100% real not fake seeing that the base is sterling silver
I like your small mustache 🤗😇
Jaxxon does not use silver. It says 316L stainless as their base material
Mine says 925
@@melissanacional9662 weird. I dnt own any. Im going off what the site says under “material”
I still see it say 925 sterling silver on their website

Gold defers in color bro for example 24k gold most of the time will have the same color as the jaxxon chain study your golds
@@BronxFinest23 no it doesnt, get a jaxxon rope chain plated in 14k and it would look the same, at the end of tha day anything plated is ass tho
@@rico.p bro look up 24k gold and tell me it’s not that bold yellow color
