Wow....I had never seen a Cuban link made; I literally thought a machine made them, so my jaw dropped seeing how labor intensive it is to create a single piece, I love these necklaces and the color of the gold just amazing (I tend to gravitate towards 18k & 24k). All I have to say is BRAVO for such craftmanship!!!
Those rolling mills are the best, I used them as an apprentice 40 years ago and they where old then! I had occasion to visit the old workshop and there they are still being used! Italian Engineering how it used to be..
That is simply beautiful! I'm american but of indian dissent and back in India we only wear 24 carat gold, so I appreciate this especially. I was thinking of having a cuban made in India, but since cuban chains are not a part of the indian culture, I doubt the jewelers there would have the expertise like the person here. I'll seek this gentleman out and have my 24 carat made.
I remember watching my dad make these Cubans back at his shop and it’s nice to see the process has not changed one bit! Besides the machine you use to pull the wire instead of by pulling by hand was cool, and also the disc that cut the links so you don’t have to individually saw each link. Good job guys! One thing I didn’t see was when it got ran through the laminadora to flatten it
Jeez I can't even imagine how much that chain is worth... Goot Lawd... Just the time and patience and skill of making it has to add so so much to it's value!!! Wow, I'm Just Flabbergasted!!!
that's awesome that you made a gold chain that's pure gold. I remember commenting on one of your past videos where you made a gold chain that was one kilo where it was 14 karat gold. thanks for making this.
First time on the lathe? Just kidding, amazing product, amazing attitude, absolutely BEST of the BEST. It literally does not get better than your work, outstanding!
Saludos desde San Jose CA! I ordered my Chain for April 2019 and flew out there to pick it up on my bday. Amazing people, best craftsmen hands down. To this day i wear my chain knowing the quality. They are great hosts too! That cafe cubano is no joke!
I also heard there's an old, short and wanna be comedian guy that needs to get a real job who buys cmg links products and on purpose damages them and makes videos on UA-cam. That's what I heard but I don't know.
I have heard some negative things about cmg regarding the links being crooked and or flipped etc. I want to purchase a cuban link but ultimately will just buy it from icebox because I want it done right I don't mind over paying slightly for the piece of mind provided that my diamonds if I want them vvs and I pay for them that's what I get and if I order a cuban link expertly crafted that's what I get as well.
