mikebthatsall what kind of chain you going to put it on?
Chinatown in sf? Did you go to kim dahn? $15 a gram for labor isn’t bad but not on top of $64 when spot is $55
That chain style is dope as hell
I used to do that w my 7mm CubanHe wrapped a chain around his wrist?
was in chinatown yesterday and decided on window shopping and came across this chain:
anyone know what style of chain that is? i’ve never seen it before. woman at the shop said it’s from hong kong and that they rarely get them here in the states. the bail had two dragon heads. joint was saucy but she was TAAAAAAXING on the price.
it was 24k but she was charging $64/gram + labor was another $15/gram.
$79/gram just seemed a bit too much for me, especially when gold’s price is pretty low currently. i understand that jewelers don’t adjust pricing day to day according to international prices of gold but still, that sticker shock hit me.
My friend said that is called a toggle link chain, popular in Vietnam

Kim tin at 735 international in oakland is supposed to be known for good prices. Kim danh on 875 o’farrell in sf supposed to be another good one. Never had experience with either.went to a spot in Oakland called Kim-some ****.. bruh there are like 3 or 4 asian jewelers in oakland and they're all called Kim-_______, all within the same vicinity of chinatown -this one was off of 8th street tho. do you have experience with Kim Dahn? I'm thinking about heading out to SF to window shop at their chinatown in the upcoming days
but like you said, it was hard to justify purchasing it when the price of gold has dropped down to $55/gram. I would've felt comfortable paying a total of $70/gram. if it was a 10-15g pendant, I wouldn't think twice, but given the weight of the chain, the difference she was asking for was about $550-$600. I guess if I'm trippin off a few hundred, then maybe that's a sign that my broke *** shouldn't be trying to buy gold...loved the piece, but couldn't let myself buy it on the principal that i don't want someone gouging my pockets.
I got a few things tested at an XRF dealer all the way out in Lockport in 2010 I think it was. was odd since they didn't advertise the service online, I called to axe could you test stuff I have & they were like well we're moar of a dealer of the equipment but sure. when I got there turns out they were a lowballer we buy gold typa business too, really weird. they wouldn't (couldn't?) gimmie detailed results just advised whether stuff was really 10 & 14 carat gold. I offered $$$$ & they said no.Definitely gonna acid test it myself. The second jeweler gave it the loupe test,without me asking. Then basically confirmed when I told him that they’re supposedly VS2 G color. His response was simply, “yeah, those stones are beautiful”where can I get X-ray testing done?

They are entertainers y’all.
lettem entertain us.
I love seeing big gawdy jewls. No matter how goofy.
Link pleaseThere’s a dude accepting offers for this pendant on eBay if anybody likes Egyptian jewelry. The bale on this thing looks so dope. I like the use of different colored stones, whoever came up wit the design did a great job
