yeah. works way better over white than yellow.

Whenever I'm on those jewelry instagrams there's a hundred thousand million people asking "how much" or equivalent. Why?

the gold eagle is about 33mm diameter.

bet, do they have any chinese marks on them? or just the 9999?

i'm looking to buy a thai baht chain. @theconnect and others, do you know the appropriate proof marks to look for?

I know you guys love fufu jesus pieces so here are the worst most fugaze ones I've seen online at trash jewelry stores this one was done by a bespoke jeweler who actually generally knows what he's doing and has many years in the game. not sure what happened

the trademark is just on the name of the product "micro jesus" not the product itself lol

might not look good to you but i dont think that's in danger of breaking.

this is just one way chain strength is evaluated, yes. another is fatigue strength which is closer to what you're asking about. this info is generally not important to consumers so it's hard to come by.

even if you don't wear a pendant, the chain will stretch on its own. but solid chains in the sizes that niketalk likes are a lot stronger than people give them credit for. check the article out tho it actually quantifies that by testing rope, herringbone, and stampato chains of varying widths.

pendant can definitely be heavier. whether it's a "V" or not kinda depends on the chain itself. Ball chains cannot form a V shape, same goes for Francos and a bunch of other designs. check this out: http://www.ganoksin.com/borisat/nenam/wgc-chains-qs.htm

no beef but krugerrands are 22k... i did this for a friend's chilean gold coin, custom coin pendant. no prongs or screws. channel set directly in the bezel. one piece, heavy construction

damn lmao i gotta quit niketalk. our taste clearly doesn't match up at all.

i take it u dont **** with the design?
