Should I be worried about this small hole and that crack? Now that it’s zoomed in it looks like there’s another one forming too

Wtf, where'd you get that from?

I got it from Daniels. It’s 18k and I’ve been wearing it 24/7 since 2017

I would hit them up for a repair asap, only going to get worse.

 

[frank mucus]

That shouldn't happen. Looks like daniels is using some crusty *** gold to make their jewelry. I don't have that on any of my jewelry, at all.

 

[cs02132]

Damn
Yea this was right around when Rey’s first started popping up in here. I only went with Daniels because they took returns and I was deciding between 2 sizes

 

[stunnaman]

holy sh*t

 

[Dhizzle]

Yea the links themselves look to be rushed and of poor quality

So my mom went to the phillippines and I asked for a rope chain because jewelery is cheaper there. She got me a chain and it looks nice, but it's extremely light. Makes me believe its hollow. It's an 18k rope chain and supposedly 3mm and 22". She said they don't really do solid chains and a search lead me to another post on this thread from a few years ago where someone said other countries usually don't do solid chains. Especially after 18k+. Any validity to it? I'm grateful for the chain, but I need to be careful not to break it considering its hollow. Stamps show its 18k Italian gold.

Do you swim in chlorine pools or get in hot tubs with your jewelry on?

Yea I actually go back and forth from the hot tub to the pool every so often
I shower with it on too

 

[Dhizzle]

Bro you need to send that to maxair59 asap for repair to fill in the holes and polish it

Yeah... thats called pitting, and unfortunately there is no easy fix. The gold actually needs to be melted down to remove all the impurities.

Is this just happening on the lock area? Because I'm pretty sure these few links are cast and this could be porosity from bad casting.

If it is on other areas on other links around the bracelet than it is probably caused by wearing it in a chlorine pool like slaughterx said. Chlorine eats away at the other alloys in gold. I would only swim in chlorine pools with 24k. Showering would not have caused this issue.

 

[stunnaman]

honestly you should prolly chop those few links and get a new clasp..unless you have pitting in the middle of chain as well

 

[MrClean510]

Yup that chain is ruined time to throw it away and upgrade. Holla at me I got you at spot price.

Just find somewhere that can melt it down and add with it to get something brolic

 

[Dhizzle]

That’s the right answer

 

[cs02132]

Lol thanks yall for the info

That's some wild ish right there.

I understand inflation, but it seems like the price of Cubans have skyrocketed, right?

 

[Lurk_Hard]

Probably has something to do w good being at an all time high.

It seems to be specific to Cubans though from what I’ve seen. For example I bought a 14k 22” 6mm last year for $2900. Same chain today, $3400. I’ve been tracking francos and I’ve seen a slight increase, but not that much. Checked a couple other jewelers and their Cubans also went up, whereas the francos increase seems more linear.

 

[stunnaman]

Idk why but i feel like you get your moneys worth on cubans over franco's and ropes. maybe its the "personalization" feel that its hand made
I like francos more now a days, but the price is starting to sky rocket to cubans price as far as i can tell
