Reviewing my 20 inch, 6mm 14k Jacoje Rope Chain after a year of owning it. Also discuss the Heavy Link, Franco, & Standard Boss Cross #Jacoje #Gold #Jewelry #Fashion #Style #Silver
I have this same chain. I used to have it in a 22-inch, but tbh the 20-inch is perfect with no pendant. I pair mine with a 4mm 22-inch franco with a pendant, but the 6mm rope is the biggest I will go for a rope because of how flashy it is.
For the standard boss cross, you want a franco chain. You might even want a plain franco vs diamond cut. I just got a favorite memento Mori pendant from proclamation, and the diamond cut francos I have steel the show away from the pendant. If the standard boss cross weighs 7.5g, you might want a 2.5mm franco vs. a 3mm. I have 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4.5 franco chains now, and have a couple pendants in the 7-8 gram range. The pendant doesn't pull the 3mm franco to a nice "V". The franco is pulled down, but still a bit rounded. For a pendant I like the chain to comply with the weight, and my 2.5mm franco (bought used from a Tried Truth member) is perfect for 7-8 grams. Again, consider "plain" over diamond cut to go with the subdued polish on the boss cross.
Trust me brother, get you an ultra sonic cleaner. Best way to clean any jewelry but especially for a rope chain. It’s about impossible to get down into the twists of a rope chain when cleaning but the vibrations in the ultra sonic cleaner will have it looking brand new every time! Nice chain bud!
Dont listen to them man wear what you like if you like shorter chains wear those i wear a 30 inch chain with mexican libertad coin which lays around 33 inches and i dont like anything under 24 thats the smallest ill go cause thats what i like i see alot of people saying 20-22 is best i dont understand why they say that. its a chain on you not them so why do they feel the need to say anything.
I'm trying to decide between a 6 or 6.5mm chain but I need to know the ACTUAL in hand width. Have you ever measured it? I have a DC rope now that's 5.5mm and I want one that's slightly bigger. But I don't want to buy a 6mm rope and it measures 5.5 when I get it in hand.
Diamond cut ropes are usually + or - .5mm. I’d recommend going with the 6.5mm if you want a noticeable difference than your current 5.5mm. My 5.5mm looks the exact same size as my 6mm rope.
The same folks clowning smaller chains/pendants are the same ones wearing big silver and moissanite chasing the rapper look. They take theirs to the pawn shop after falling on hard times they'll get .75 cents per gram of silver. I shake my head when I see folks wearing big hollow silver fake diamond jewelry.
