As a jewelry enthusiast I was instantly drawn to ur channel because even though u have a business, you still give advice even though it might send potential customers to another source. Thats a true jeweler for the people. That attitude and selflessness is the reason folks have chosen you as their jeweler. Because of the trust you have established. Its easy to become a self absorbed douchebag like Ap the Jeweler for example.
+NoKreativeUsername Ya I just couldn't stand the attitudes that these jewelers have. I just want to give my honest opinion and help people out. I really never thought I would gain clients from my UA-cam channel but it's growing like crazy. I put more subscribers before dollars any day.
I have seen some used gold chains that are beat to shit. So no grams are not the only thing to worry about. If you buy a chain that looks terrible now you have to get it resurfaced.
He's 100% correct. I worked in the pawn business for a few years in college and we tested every piece even if it was stamped and whether we were going to sell it for melt or keep for resale. It really does come down to personal preference.
Keep making videos man love them you inspire me to start my own collection and maybe in the future do some business. Keep up the good work. Also you make amazing jewelry
I recently bought a used 14kt gold rope chain at a pawn shop that weighs 20.7 grams of 14kt gold for $530.. so I paid only $90 more than the gold spot value of that chain for that day which is a great deal.. you won't be able to get that good of a price at any jewelry store.. by the way keep up the good videos Braden!
JACOJE LYNX absolutely I have them test the chain right in front me then I test it myself once I get home.. all my jewelry is solid gold! I'll never wear that fake shit!
You're correct it should be less if used. However some jewelers will not tell you it's used. And some will not lower the prices they will sale full price if as new. Yes you just have to do your research.
I wonder if you can do a video on your thoughts about altering or customizing currently owned jewelry, for example if say someone wanted to lengthen a chain they currently own or should they just buy a new one at the desired length or if someone maybe wanted to set stones in a current ring or would it be best to find a ring with the stones already mounted. also it would be cool if you did a video where you show maybe your followers jewelry if they all email it too you or something, just a couple of ideas, keep up the good work!
I think its better to buy an all new chain. As far as remounting goes, remounting is wonderful. I love remounted stones in pieces. Its like a whole new life for jewelry. They say you live 9 lives like a cat, well a good stone can be remounted and have many lives. All new looks, all new pieces.
+NoKreativeUsername I think my screen recording app only allows 15 minutes lol. I'll have a few chains picked out ahead of time that way I can be a little more organized and make my points so people can see how scammers try and scam lol
Some pawn shops are good and some are very over priced but generally cheaper than a jewelry store ,old gold is still as good as it was the day it was made if it's reconditioned and sold buy a expert jewelry deal in a pawn shop. as for ebay you can get any thing and get taken for your hard earned money or any other online dealer.
Nice to see guys interested in real jewelry- There is nothing wrong with used jewelry. There is a good chance that new gold piece in the jeweler case was melted down from Spanish doubloons centuries ago and has assumed many shapes in the course of its existence.
+andrew narain depends on the piece. I like 14kt gold overall. 10kt is good for rings and bracelets. 18kt+ is really nice obviously, I don't work with a lot of 22k.
JACOJE LYNX I'd like to see Cuban link bracelets vs maybe Miami Cuban links or fiagro bracelets, I do enjoy the rope chain as a bracelet but it doesn't seem as many as a good chunky Cuban. Also what a good width is and just things like that in general, I really appreciate the quick response!
+JACOJE LYNX great information on diamonds and jewelry. I am curious to see what you think about clarity enhanced diamonds? I couldn't find any videos you have made on that topic.
+fam robinson depends on the quality of setting. Pace is expensive but if it's done be an amateur, those diamonds will be falling out like crazy. I've seen it happen over and over again with people who buy the cheap flooded pieces
could ya do a vid on Curren$y's jewelry? he doesn't really have "custom" stuff besides his jetlife chain but I think his simplicity would be well worth you takin a look at
quick question and it would really help me out if I bought a chain peice that weighed 103 grams and if I had it remade into a bracelet how much weight would I lose????
+Juan Galarza what length is it? Divide the gram weight to the length of the chain and then multiple that number times the length you want you bracelet
Bro! ive just bought a 33gr 14k solid gold cuban link ...its used , but it cost me 130 bucks!!!!! im on my way to the jewelry store to get it tested.. it is 585 14k stamped and looks legit and weighs legit but im still gettin it tested! if it comes out good this might be the best purchase ive ever made! chain is in mint condition too its 1 year old
You're better off buying in bulk and selling obviously for profit but you don't have a brand or a following you need to find where you shine jakoji advertises small chains and I like his video his quality and price if I was going to buy anything under say 6mm Cuban probably jacoji is best bet
+Derick Ordonez depends on the chain. They weigh differently. I have my 4MM rope chain posted on my website: www.jacoje.com go check it out. It's a very good price for that type of chain.
JACOJE LYNX will nowadays if you go buy jewelry brand new they try sell 10 k for like 30 bucks a gram I mean don't get me wrong all my jewelry I bought brand new but now I see good stuff at the pawn shop 14k black diamonds all kinds of nice stuff so I'm going to try it out when I get money

NoKreativeUsername Agreed, Braden's honesty is why I have purchased from him and will continue to do so. Very fair, friendly, and personable.
At the end of the day gold is gold used are new don't matter a deal a deal as long as u like it it's real and the Grams most important
I have seen some used gold chains that are beat to shit. So no grams are not the only thing to worry about. If you buy a chain that looks terrible now you have to get it resurfaced.
Corona light if you know how you can melt that chain down make a new one and polish it
Facts!! Gotta pay attention to that weight though. Like you said the grams matter too
king tuts tomb gold was new 3000 years ago.. still looks good :)
He's 100% correct. I worked in the pawn business for a few years in college and we tested every piece even if it was stamped and whether we were going to sell it for melt or keep for resale. It really does come down to personal preference.

+Chance Wickham that's definitely a great deal! Pawn shops know what they're doing so you know your chain is legit too.
JACOJE LYNX absolutely I have them test the chain right in front me then I test it myself once I get home.. all my jewelry is solid gold! I'll never wear that fake shit!
Chance Wickham that's the way to do it!
Chance Wickham pawn shop are Rip off they be taxing
Fsu08 Alvarado what do you mean by taxing?
JACOJE VIDEOS IS LIFE!
+Asole Hem haha my guy!
Great video and happy 2k subs🎉
+Abdul thank you bro!
if you buy gold in a jewelry shop the the jewlry is overpriced
yes but the jewelry store does customs so I think I need to go that route
Jacoji is definitely cheaper than the mall or Trax NYC
I always shop Jacoje for my main chains but pawn shops have deals sometimes ill grab a piece if its cheaper or unique and in good shape.
You're correct it should be less if used. However some jewelers will not tell you it's used. And some will not lower the prices they will sale full price if as new. Yes you just have to do your research.

+bosh trew Thank you and you're welcome!
What’s the best lock for a chain
What if the piece or chain is worth more even used not cus of a price spike or saturated price incress due to seller cus it's an old antique piece
Nice to see guys interested in real jewelry- There is nothing wrong with used jewelry. There is a good chance that new gold piece in the jeweler case was melted down from Spanish doubloons centuries ago and has assumed many shapes in the course of its existence.
So much to learn took me 13-15 years to learn what I know and it is still hard. So much junk out there.
I have a preowned silver concave curb
Hi Jacoje,
I wanted to know what your opinion is on buying different Karat of gold, 10k, 14k, 18k and 22k gold jewelry
please and thankyou
+andrew narain depends on the piece. I like 14kt gold overall. 10kt is good for rings and bracelets. 18kt+ is really nice obviously, I don't work with a lot of 22k.
How much less at a pawn shop? Compared to a jewelry shop? Like 20%? Or more?
Another Amazing video, absolutely amazing always look forward to your input! Could you do a video on bracelets?
+Daniel Bell thank you! Which bracelets would you like to see? I did a video on rope chain bracelets. Check it out if you haven't.
JACOJE LYNX gold bracelets in general
JACOJE LYNX I'd like to see Cuban link bracelets vs maybe Miami Cuban links or fiagro bracelets, I do enjoy the rope chain as a bracelet but it doesn't seem as many as a good chunky Cuban. Also what a good width is and just things like that in general, I really appreciate the quick response!
Tupac Shakur I agree :)
One local jeweler here does sell pre owned and new
they do have seperate cabinets
Sell for 30 for 10k pay 11
Sell for 40 for 14k pay 15
What is invisible setting
good advice. now I just gotta get the money lol
+The Diddler yes sir!
How much for a 5 mm tri color
+JACOJE LYNX great information on diamonds and jewelry. I am curious to see what you think about clarity enhanced diamonds? I couldn't find any videos you have made on that topic.
+Rosette Serhal I'm sure a lot of people aren't aware of the clarity enhanced methods. I will make a video on the topic.
What's the deal with pave set or micro pave set? I've seen really inexpensive micro pave pendants, and wonder if they are worth buying?
+fam robinson depends on the quality of setting. Pace is expensive but if it's done be an amateur, those diamonds will be falling out like crazy. I've seen it happen over and over again with people who buy the cheap flooded pieces
could ya do a vid on Curren$y's jewelry? he doesn't really have "custom" stuff besides his jetlife chain but I think his simplicity would be well worth you takin a look at
+Juan Ortiz I'll check it out. I love the simple look.
quick question and it would really help me out if I bought a chain peice that weighed 103 grams and if I had it remade into a bracelet how much weight would I lose????
+Juan Galarza what length is it? Divide the gram weight to the length of the chain and then multiple that number times the length you want you bracelet
JACOJE LYNX thanks helps alot!
fresh donuts alwayssss
+John Jaymes oh yes!
What do u think about old gold chains
What do you mean by old?
Thing is if you make your own jewelry you don’t need no warranty you can fix it hell melt it and make it your own
Your website has a spelling error for earrings. You spelled it wrong.
+Heelcrackbangs thanks! Didn't even catch that
Direct source is the only place on eBay that will try to beat Jacoje on brand new gold.
Dowwwwn at tha pawn shop.
Nice bro
