This is the WORST test for GOLD CHAINS but can keep a jeweler HONEST! 

Bro 🤦🏻‍♂️ everyone in the 90s was doing this including myself 🥴 I agree, the dumbest gold test ever DON’T DO IT!!!!

I’m so glad that I understand more about my pieces!! Thank you so much Braden! 💥 💥 💥

another upload!!!! Thanks braden we appreciate you and Raquel.

Great video @Jacoje very educational. Where is the famous pinky ring with diamonds all the way around? When can I get one? I'm waiting on my 7mm 2 row M.C.L. from you now. Really excited! Thanks for another educational video. That is pretty awesome to know that.

Amazing and informative video as always

Braden comin out swingin with that big daddy rope in the final scene sheeeeeesh. Very cool expansion on the gold-plating series. Always appreciate the honesty. Glad we don’t have to worry about this stuff when we shop Jacoje!

Keep up the good work bro ✅

Always educational. Thank you Braden for all the knowledge you have brought throughout the years.

It’s always good to know these things so your not disappointed later on👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

Hey Braden I purchased a 5mm 18kt miami cuban link necklace on Friday. Did you mean that it would be shipped in 2 weeks? Thought necklaces in stocks ship next business day? I'm confused

Thats why i will always trust you. You tell it how it is. Thank you

Wow love the information in this. You never miss bro. And if are looking for something to do with one of the chains you burned (especially the rope), I will do the lords work and take it off your hands lol

That’s why we love you man!!! Facts all the way 💯 respect

The purple and green you are seeing is from the zink and copper. I'm a plumber and before using press fit I use to soldier a ish load. And that color change I use to see all the time

Jo I did. this Test for 2 seconds on my 6mm rope 14 Karat jacoje can something happen to it? I’m now worried pls help 😪

Dude! Thank you! This is the realzies right here!

I tried it on my chain it turned black but returned to its gold color after washing with soap. What does it means?

Thank you for all these advanced details. 😅 saving many humans some bad days. 💯

I bought a 3mm flat curb 2 years ago from jacoje i have no idea if it had plaiting probly did or does it has not left my neck since i got it i use it for work go out stack with other chains and still looks 🔥 just like the day i got it 😎

Wow, I would've assumed a solid 14k (with 14k plating) would not do that. I'm guessing it's only the heat... and with normal wear the "flash plating" would simply fade, leaving behind the solid 14k color underneath? I also wonder how much of that color change is soot from the lighter. Your cross may have been held more in the blue part of the flame, so I wonder what the results would be with a jet lighter -- no soot deposits. Either way, good to know.

HELP : I have a real 14K gold chain that I'm trying to sell but the marking were scratched with time for the claps snapping in....can I go to jeweler to have it stamped and can they know how many karats it is? THANK YOU

Jacoje serving quality and integrity today

It’s crazy comparing your prices with other manufacturers. Wish I would have always got my gold from here haha.

Why do the modern chains have this ‘top gold coating’?

Mad love man!!!

Whats the measurements on the chain you're wearing?

What are the specs of the chain you are wearing in the video????

Yo Braden is there anyway I can place an order and not get that type of top finish. I would rather mine in 14k and look like 14k rather then it look like 18k.

Can I get the burned chains????

Can I get that boss cross you put the flame on??

Sooo if anything, a reason (not like it needed one) to NOT plate natural gold, I don't know why that would be a thing anyway. Why plate 14k gold chains? and why plate those but not the pendant??? How about not plating the chains since (if) they are actually 14k gold!? That's sus af.

I burnt mine. Not for the reason to make sure it was real though lol. One of my older rope chains I burnt the edge next to the clasp cause I had a piece of string from a shirt stuck in there. Couldn’t think of any other way besides burn it out, which it worked. Didn’t think the flame would harm it at that time. Figured it was safe. I only had it burning there 2-3 seconds though. I tried cleaning it every way possible. It wasn’t to bad to begin with. Barely could notice on the chain. The clasp though changed the color a bit. Definitely won’t do that ever again for any reason though

so why is the flat 14k flat curb plated with 14k? I don't get it :

Hey Jacoje I have this continuous rope type chain I inherited with other jewelry of my grandmother. It feels light possibly hollow but it isn't magnetic and passes the gold test 18 k.

I did this test to a chain my brother paid $40 for and it melted fell apart kind of felt a little bad for my brother's L

Hey Braden, I’m actually thinking to do that kind of test on my first gold chain that I bought recently to make sure I got a real gold, but thank you that you make a video about the fire test on gold and didn’t do it on mine coz i will probably will regret it. Hoping next time We want to see a durability test on one of your rope chain or franco’s, I was thinking it will be exciting and fun just to give us idea on what kind of scenario or instances we should only wear our jewelry or how we will limit ourselves not to wear jewelry specifically for the 18kt and above. Thank you, and SMASH!! Dwin

I could Braden's heart breaking every time he clicked that lighter

When are 1.5mm Jacoje curb chains restocking?

What size is that rope u rockin.

So what is the best test for a chain to see if it is 18K

Gold is damn near indestructible. Fire won't hurt it one bit providing you didn't get screwed. If your chain is plated it's because it's a cheap machine made chain and the plating hides the poor finish and poor quality gold. Most chains are plated, because most are poor quality. Zero well made ones are plated. On real gold the soot wipes rite off. If you buy jewelry, atleast buy the quality so you can hopefully get something if you sell. Plated chains bring melt, nothing more.

Hello! So i got a chain from my grand mother who past away its frkm the 70' it says parkerlane . i was told its no gold which i find unbelievable because parkerlane is a Chicago based reputable jewelers

I feel like If you lick the top of the flame across gold or anything plated or not, it will leave black soot on it. Like a Crack heads glass bulb when their flame touches the glass it leaves black soot all over it. But if you use the base of the flame , or like a small butane cigar torch it will not. Would u use like a butane cigar torch instead so its not leaving the black soot? I'd be interested to see just the plating change and not get soot as any thing will get sooty under a flame. Plated or not the top of the flame will soot up the gold or glass etc. And glass isn't plated. I'm very curious to now to changes in spike plate under clean heat. Also rubbing alcohol cleans that soot right up on most things. Prolly works on the gold.

Ah yes. A burning cross. Thanks brayden

I have a question...doesn't plating your chains in gold add weight? Common sense says it adds a substantial amount. I have a few chains from you so no I'm not hating at all just want to learn.

Ouch that hurt burning it. Are u now giving aways those chains n that lovely cross. Lol 🤔😁

Wheres the link

Am I the only one getting Jaxxon ads when I watch theses videos lol

Also where’s the 5mm tricolor chain winner?

What about boiling chains?

Unless it's 24K, you will get some burn mark simply because it's not pure. Do you even have to think?

HEART PENDANTS!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to purchase.

I’m guilty….. LOL

You giving away the charred chains?

🔥🔥🔥with the facts

Wait you didn’t get the dimensions on the chain you’re wearing ☹️

I’d take that cuban link burned but thanks for the info I didn’t know people did this

What about the tricolor chains are they plated on top? Only reason I bought one was because it was supposed to be casted like that... I'd be heartbroken if it isn't 😔

So plating bad?

I don't like the fact that my 14k chains (byzantine and heavy link) are plated with 18k, but imo it's not a big deal if they are solid 14k

It pains me to see the chains handled like that haha. I’m like nooooooo!!!Don’t burn them haha. Y’all have a great one B and dope video man.

That's why you are my new and only jeweler you show tell and prove what you are buying great job nut hate to see you burn them them lol...tell the truth and shame the devil you the man...

I thought if the chain turns black it’s fake?? Makes no sense, that was the old chain test u burn it to see if it’s real because real gold doesn’t turn black like the pendent.

Does anyone know where I can find a 4mm or 5mm rope in sterling I'm not a big gold guy so I was disappointed to see you didn't have any silver on your website

I don’t know man I got trust issues now , seems like either way you look jewelers could just catfish their stuff , that’s why I only shop at jacoje .

let me get that cross! haha

So will a real gold chain still turn black then?

What size is the rope you have on???

Make a video on wearing a heavy chain everyday and neck pain.

How to test Nordic gold

I got a few chains off Jacoje before and it was pretty obvious based on the color difference with other chains from other vendors that they had some extra plating. And that’s fine; I have no complaints about that. Curious how will the chain look once the plating inevitably wears down? And how long does the plating last? Those are the questions people who have concerns about would want to have answered.

NO fuego 🔥🔥🔥 got it !

MM size on neck?

I did the burn test with a 108 g gold chain when i got it. It real

Peace and love

Restock the Mary chains plzzz

Bless you all amen

🔥

This is just gold plated???

All your chains are so amazing some day I’ll save up and get some gold chains but right now all my money is tied up in helping my Fiancé build a store in the Philippines where we will use the profits to help feed her family and the less fortunate who have been affected with the pandemic and the typhoon and now inflation like the rest of the world. I know you made me a more knowledgeable customer for the future and I would Like to thank you for that. Keep up the great work guys and god bless

This test saved me from buying a fake gold chain. All the gold plating burned off. The chain looked like steel . Can you show what happens when the a chain isn’t real? It was completely ruined.

Oh No!!!!!!! Don't punish jewelry like that.

I just imagined lil kim singing the song "lighters up" haha. Great video!

But it wasn't a fair test tho? You used different pieces. Use the same same type of chain/ pendent... for this type of experiment

BRADEN THE GOAT!

I only did that once’s because my wife’s chain (rope chain) had hella hairs on it so I tried to burn them of haha

Too late for 18k ring😢😂

Imma do this lol.

Make me not want to buy gold now.

100kbsubs lets go

I’d still wear them lol

You say plating but your partner says flash coat ... I understand we're yall are getting at but is their a difference between plating and flash coating .. and do all gold chains have the purity it says it is or do some have 10k with 14k coating or plating or some have 14k with 18k coating excedera excedera...

I don’t worry about this I just make sure to buy from trustworthy companies

Why is this dude yelling though his whole video?

You're going to hell for burning that cross..

Jacoby go make me pull out a big barbecue pit lighter on the jewelers at my nearest shopping mall just so I can see their eyes get big and laugh my ass off… Lol! Great video very informative.

Yell louder

Smash👍
