yes

 

[Sonny Corinthos]

yes

The Miami jewelers have better prices and give you the length you ask for . You should get something between 24-27 inches , the chain in your pic looks 21-22 inches

Would you guys consider 18-karat gold suitable for everyday wear or just stick to 14k. I always appreciate you guys help because I'm definitely a novice to jewelry.

All my jewelry is 22k. Wear every day no issues.

I am not breaking balls here-merely an observation. It seems to me like a person rocking a 250+ gram chain/pendant over a lengthy period of time(years) would be more prone to neck and back problems. For those that own such and wear regularly feel free to comment.

I had a 203 gram 27 inch chain and it was fine . It's not like your wearing 24/7 and 365 days. At most 3-5 hours a day and not everyday .

its da truth, i could've gotten 18k, but i seen my moms old 18k school ring..looked like a old pot wit wild gouges.

If you had your chain in 18kt

I’m a novice to jewelry, so the only thing I have a proper understanding of is the different types of gold. When it comes to diamonds, I wouldn’t know where to begin. I know I want actual diamonds, and not cubics or anything impersonating a diamond.

IDK the difference between lab made and diamonds that come from the earth. Is there a huge variation in cost and quality?

I don’t mind admitting that I don’t know much about jewelry. That’s why I came in here before pulling the trigger

Your asking for a lot of info.
But a mined diamond of a same size with different gradings could vary in price astronomicalLy. Then there are real diamonds that are enhanced. Then there are lab diamonds which are about 30% cheaper than real diamonds (almost no resale value). Then you got the non diamonds like moissiante that go for waaaay cheaper but perform just like a diamond.
All in all a tennis chain is a luxury that will get about 30-40% resale back from Jewlers.
Diamonds aren’t accepted at banks but gold is.
Diamonds are a luxury and if u got It like that then go for it but there are waaay more ways to get played n ripped off on them.

It’s all scratched up from daily wear

I wanna get a 8mm 28inch 24kt Cuban to match

 

[illmatic kid]

blind leading the blind

More novice than blind. Lol but hey I'd rather ask than spend the money and be upset. I guess it all boils down to preference.

 

[illmatic kid]

Get the 18 it’s way better

No doubt.

 

[illmatic kid]

Id grab the 18k franco hits way harder than 14k and cant see scratch and scuffs unless u look at super close. I upgraded my yellow gold 14k to 18k after about 2 months looked to dull compared to 18k. I also have a white gold 14k franco didnt upgrade that one didnt see a difference in 14k to 18k white gold in franco link atleast.

Good-looking out my man..Sounds like a dope set up. I want a white gold franco only 14k because like you said I don't think 18k in white gold looks much different but for yellow gold I wanted 18k because the purity of color looked richer..What size are yours?

Is there a major difference in color between an 18kt let’s say 5mm Franco or rope and a smaller 14k Jesus that suits said chain??

not huge, but with a set up like mine it would've been infinitely more noticeable.

Yea I was actually gonna mention that. That you’d have to find an 18k piece to match, I wouldn’t want to mis match either
