Lol that's boss hancho type jewelry that's something the boss wears and just walks in the room with a -4 pound chain that fits perfect and doesn't look overboard at the same time I love that chain coming from a big dude
@@bentleygt3716 Here's the thing. Insane to the jeweler? No. Insane to the common folk who will never in their life be in possession of 1lb of 14 karat gold? Yes.
Never seen a gold chain made from scratch before. Cant lie, I wanted to cry a little bit when they put that file to it and started grinding it down 😳 I was pleasantly surprised to see the end result. Absolutely beautiful work. Great job
having watched and admired these videos for years and finally starting to make chains of my own I have discovered a new respect for the sheer craftsmanship and effort that goes into these.
My grandfather when he was alive used to make jewelry. Mostly white gold and sterling silver pieces for Native American jewelry. Still have a old rollo, belcher chain he made and some belt buckles. From someone that knows a little, AMAZING WORK GUYS!
Thanks for watching man. We're working on a video about a 2 kilogram chain right now. It'll be the best video about the making of Cuban links on RU-vid. It's amazing! Stay tuned!
Cuban Link drinking game: Take a shot of Cuban rum when you see a blowtorch. Fantastic work, and an eye-opening process. There's so much artisan work going into this that many people take for granted.
When someone asks why a chain costs more than its spot value...just show them this video. Amazing artistry. Makes me appreciate my chain even more than I did.
@@jamesbizs lots of people, it's been mentioned by Cuba. TRAXX, jacoje etc. Lucky you that you've not encountered morons. Those of us who buy and sell hear bullshit like this all the time.
Educated shoppers who know how to calculate the labor markup over spot price based on karats and weight. Good basis for the negotiation process and to avoid getting ripped off.
I remember as a kid I always wondered about how Cuban chains were made, I think it was probably 10 years ago I'd finally seen one being made and the craft & artistry has never ceased to amaze me.
I love watching jewelry be made. I love my gold chains as they are all hand made and took my guy so much time to make they’re immaculate pieces of art. Every gold chain I have is 30-34in with a kilo of gold.
Man, as a welder-steelworker,, all the years I've worked with lengths of 6mm - 8mm steel round or reo bar that are worth a couple of bucks a length to the company, I'm just imagining working with metal bar that is probably worth at least $1,000Au per foot 😳! About the most expensive metal I've ever worked with in fabricating and welding is Titanium. PS: Your scrap-bin isn't in the yard out the back of the workshop, is it? 😜
This video hit soo hard. Now I know why those chains cost so much money. ITS ALOT OF WORK. HARD WORK GETTING IT OUTTA THE GROUND AND VERY TEDIOUS AND TIME CONSUMING MAKING IT. ⛓️🔥💯
I am on the hunt to get enough gold for me and my fiancé’s wedding bands. Your videos have inspired me to book a course so we can also make them together😀
@@felixlara2945 3,422 °C for melting tungsten. However ya don't need to melt tungsten when ya mixing in gold. Let just say a good flux can merge both together too well. There is saying: only get fooled once.
When I was a kid teacher asked me what’s your favorite color my reply was simple and straight to the point gold and when she looked at me and said that’s not a color it’s a metal or mineral but I was only in third grade I knew nothing of the sort so I opted for yellow and then colored it over with an orange I can tell she wasn’t feeling me but I stand by that my favorite color is gold how pretty it looks😂🇺🇸
All of this money, time, and expert craftsmanship put into this chain, all so Logan Paul can hang a limited edition Charizard off of it at his next boxing match.
I Soo LOVE That You Include The Gold Dust Collection Clips, So Wonderfull, Man, You have A GOLD HANDs, Seriously. What A Champ :) Such A Beautiful Piece of ART !
books, videos, and apprenticeship. or if you wanna get real serious there are collages for jewlery making that can be anything from becoming a precious metal smith, a jeweler, watch smith, and gemologists. look around online and locally for places to learn more. theres a guy that teaches classes at a art institute where i live and he shows you how to recover gold and silver metal from plated items then make it into jewelry (usually a small ring or a setting for a small stone cus its not much) or with just sterling silver.
Big ones like that? Tends to be a symbol of wealth / hard work in the hip-hop community ( legal or otherwise). It's also acts as a sort of silent threat / warning, in that, the person wearing an expensive chain like that openly ( especially in a bad neighborhood ) is very confident of their ability to maintain ownership of it because of their ability to exercise and use lethal force to do that. Very much within the same mentality of the Spartan moto "molon labe", or "Come take it from me".
@@Crmjewelers I cant believe no one has asked what else went in after the pellets the globs that weren't super shiny that the guy grabbed a few and removed.
Imagine going back in time to the Renaissance era wearing something like this. You’d baffle all the jewelers there as to how something like this was made.
