Chain making is an easy task.I made so many chains as an apprentice bench jeweller in JOHANNESBURG.twisting,soldering,filing and sanding does take time.Making sure the chain LIES STRAIGHT is the way to check your workmanship.I did my 5 years apprenticeship in IGOLI,The place of gold.I started my career in 1982.
You guys make these chains works of art. Almost All other cuban link chains I've seen (except for a few other makers who are cuban) made by other companies look like straight garbage. La verdad my friends! Stay blessed!
954 Broward all day my heart is born and raised! But if you’re from down here you know we’re always chilling in the 305! Who the EFFF lol thought they’d be watching a damn jewelry channel and show! OG here I relate to your pops 💯 much respect to you guys and nothing but more blessings! #crmlife #love
Always wanted a nice link, cuban ofcourse.. after seeing this craftsman rocking that pre-finish sand with the old Milwaukee sheet sander.. want one even more lol🙌⚡️🙌
Doesn’t matter the color it’s just 14kt he showed u with the X-ray gun all the alloys in the necklace and my guess the necklace would be heavier if done in 18k
It's nickel, palladium and silver, white precious metals mixed with 24k gold, obviously you'll need more silver and palladium than gold to give it the white tone depending what karat the customer wants the piece to be.
Seriously, maybe somebody can answer why take gold which is so beautiful and make it “white?“ Why not just silver or something? It’s like buying a blue diamond, why not just get a sapphire (I’m not a gemstone person so maybe that’s obvious, just not to me), I’m sure you get the point.
Its something about the value in it too, its worth more than silver and gold alone, even tho 99% of us cant see the difference from this and silver unless its really close up
I bought a wg watch once. I liked the weight of it, and that it was gold but didn’t scream look I wanna look rich, like gold does. It looked more like polished stainless steel, but had this glimmer to it.
“White,” is not GOLD, I never understood that, what not just get platinum if you want “white,” metal? Palladium is also becoming popular, more expensive that Platnium as well? and wonder if they make jewelry out of that. I think I will go check.
Platinum is extremely difficult to work with. 14k white gold made from palladium (no nickel) is easier. More Intricate designs can be made with less labor. Platinum also has a higher premium in jewelry if you ever sell it. White gold is simply easier. In addition, gold does not look good on pale skin.
This is all construction work , this is not fine jewelry making all this stupid huge chains is like doing constrution is like a job for a plumber or someone preparing concrete to make a wall , the people that dont know how to make jewelry get impress by this , make a video of doing a 2mm or a 3mm chain by hand to see if you can pull that off not using laser or any modern soldering equipment thats a real challenge not this stupid huge chains a plumber could make

Wow, the artistry behind this chain is mind-blowing! 🤯
Thank you very much!
It's not only the chains that are gold, these videos are 24kt gold. Well done guys!
Thank you for the feedback! 👍🙏
That's definitely not 24kt. They alloy it in the beginning of the video lol
@@David-xg3sq The chains have alloys, but the content is prue class.
@@francofiore8517sorry, it was a bad attempt at sarcasm. I should have said "this video isn't 24K, they alloy (ads) at the beginning".
It never gets old watching these. Art.
Perfection ! Matches Carlos's silver/grey beard perfectly, awesome look. Much love London Uk.

Thank you for making the jewelry you enjoy.
I wouldn't say it's an "easy" task.
Beauty in hard work!

This video was awesome. No fluff just artistry.

Hello, What size of wire should we choose to wrap according to the thickness of the gold wire?
I'm not a jewelry guy, but this is very impressive. Would the white gold be heavier or lighter than 18k gold for this size necklace?
White good cause they use a lot more alloy to create the white/silvery color.
Doesn’t matter the color it’s just 14kt he showed u with the X-ray gun all the alloys in the necklace and my guess the necklace would be heavier if done in 18k
@@boutstaxx guess that confirms how much I am NOT a jewelry guy. 😀
Great content! Fun to see you using a palm sander instead of a buff stick.
Nice. Old world craftsman at work.
Your work is perfect, you are a professional
Width and Length?
What do you use to weld the ends together? Is that gold too?
Gold solder.
BIG W
I appreciate the hard work and skills involved in the manufacturing process but I'd want my gold to look...Gold 💛
Yes, most people either want yellow or rose gold.
Nice chain I'll be to buy one from yous one day much love from chicago 💙💯🙏💪
Looking good 👍
Thanks!
Very cool!
How much does a chain like that cost
Amazing 😍
what are the white beads?
Silver. That's used as an alloy to take the gold from 24kt to 14kt. The final necklace will be podium plated to give the final white look.
It's nickel, palladium and silver, white precious metals mixed with 24k gold, obviously you'll need more silver and palladium than gold to give it the white tone depending what karat the customer wants the piece to be.
wow so nice
Thank you very much!
Doesn't look like there's a rhodium plating on it. Looks beautiful. You can see the pale yellow as the light hits it.
After twisting with the machine why do you still hand twist after that? Why not just run it through the rolling mill after twisting???
Make sure each link is tight. The machine only holds either end which may not perfectly tighten the centre links
It's to help it stay straight and lay flat. Once it comes out of the rolling mill, it's stiff.
@@David-xg3sq I thought you were supposed to over twist it then run through the rolling Mill to flatten and loosen the links
the main thing I learned in this video is that Carlos has gotten fat
Funny!

Because silver oxidizes…they turn black and would need another thorough cleaning.
Its something about the value in it too, its worth more than silver and gold alone, even tho 99% of us cant see the difference from this and silver unless its really close up

White gold = quiet luxury
Durability. Silver oxidizes and is generally a more reactive mental.
Why do they call these Cubans? Just curious
Thank you for the %s.
What about an American chain?

Platinum is super expensive. White gold is more affordable with the same look.
