Completely new to jewelry but been meaning to buy something for the past year.

I'm currently looking at a 3.5MM-4MM width cuban around 24 inches in 14K gold. I'm not really looking for anything too flashy..is there that much of a difference between the 2 in size? I'm a small dude (5'7 @ 150) so i didn't want the chain looking too big. What size should I go for if I also have plans on adding a small pendant in the future (2" x 2").

Jewelers I'm looking at:
Jacoje (3.5MM 24" 24 grams for $1050)
Daniel Jewelry (4MM 24" 31 grams for $1250)

Also looking for recommendations in NYC that's priced around the same.

Thanks!

I'd go into a few places local to you and try on the different sizes, you might feel 4mm to small once you try it on
 
id recommend a 6.5mm cuban chain... that was my first chain and its not too thin and not too thick and flashy... the size is perfect actually...but like others have said you have to try it on to see which you like best

You should save up for for the next size up go with a 5mm handmade from daniels or any of the other miami shops. I got mine from daniels
20180524_081414.jpg
for $1950 for 64grams over twice the weight than that machine made 4mm. Imo 5mm not too flashy but still stands out people know what it is especially you being a smaller guy it will standout. Dont shop jacojes for cubans with that extra money you will spend with him you might as well fly to miami for a weekend and pick up a cuban.

Thanks, I got a quote the other day and it was $31/gram for the size I asked about. Looks like I gotta haggle a bit to get that $30/gram price. The buyout price she offered for my old chain was kinda low though, I might need to shop it around for a slightly higher price.

Need a simple 22” 3mm rope chain. Is this my best option?

$755 for 14 kt gold. Approximately 17.5 grams
https://www.jacoje.com/shop/32mm-rope-chain


Thoughts on this eBay listing?
$581.74 for 14 kt gold. Approximately 14.9 grams
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/172153233385


If they’re both supposedly solid gold, 3mm, and 22”, why are the weights different? Shouldn’t they theoretically be the same? Forgive my newb questions.

Chains probably came from 2 diff sources, most weights vary from jeweler to jeweler as well.i have shopped with both Jacoje and Jumpy the ebay dealer is more of a wholesaler as well so his prices are a bit better, as for Jacoje taxes a bit on his pieces.

I got quoted 31 as well, and placed my order last week.

I see Daniel has the same 22” 3mm at 16.1g so it’s somewhat in the middle, but he’s charging the most at $935. I guess i’m leaning toward the eBay link, just because it seems to be the better cost per gram value.

Any other recommended alternatives?
