Can yall help me with a few questions? Lookin to put together a real simple look with my patron saint Jude. Looking to cop his medal from Sarraf:
www.sarraf.com
Joint is only 3 grams, so not super heavy. Two quick questions:
1. For a medal this small what thickness would be appropriate? My gut tells me like a 2.4mm should be cool, but I would go bigger if it wouldnt look dumb (2.7)?
2. Ive been thinking about this baby curb from jacoje
jacoje.com
HE is fairly expensive, does this link go by another name somewhere else? When I google it, I dont see it anywhere else. I like the look from his videos, and its much better than a flat curb. Any thoughts on this style chain? Thinking about this look in a 22", and it should hang to the top of my wifebeater. Thoughts?

Just listen to the OG's here and get a cuban from a trusted Miami Shops. No one is going to beat the price and the craftsmanship when it comes to cubans.

Not acting like anything, it's just the reality of the situation ben is known, you over pay when you shop with them but the work is always on point and you don't have any second thoughts about authenticity. That was my original point it's easier to shop with them and have the peace of mind that your goods won't have fake stones or the metal wont have porosity.You acting like spending money with Ben is gonna have you have him make a blog post about what you copped and have you all up in the videos or something for good PR

The piece of mind that you got ripped off
TA jewelers post some fire. really goo stuff if you want to go above 18k gold. i could be wrong, but it looks like some of the if&co or old icee fresh jewelers broke off and are doing their own thing? all the stuff they post looks like TA jewelers quality.

They farm it out. They had my chain done very quickly it was done in under 2 weeks. I also found them to have the best customer service compared to the others I spoke with and price wise they were also the lowest at the time as well.

IF does have good quality but go to the store and see it there for yourself. The only times I've been to their store was when it was still in the hood in Slauson. The pieces they have used the smallest stones I've ever seen. The craftsmanship is there but you can tell where they finnessed the customer with the little dinky rink pebbles/diamonds

Franks right on the money. If you don't mind overpaying for quality, feel free to buy. If you want to get back anything second hand market forget it.
I went into trade in a bitcoin pendant,
Micro Bitcoin Piece (Fully Iced)
Diamond Bitcoin necklace, crafted in the gold color of your choice. Total carat weight about 1.50 carats. Total height approximately 1.2" tall.
www.ifandco.com
They offered me $1,000 store credit.

Just like most jewelers, they want you to buy from them. They do not necessarily want to buy from you(even if they made it/sold it to you). Hence the $1K offer

All this.
so I got a6.5mm 20inch 14k Miami cuban fron Leon. I realized it was a little long for my wife. Leon doesn’t do returns or exchanges, but offered to shorten it at no charge and purchase the scrap if I choose to sell it.
The Quality is A1. Links are tight and even. I still think Reys is better in regards to craftsmanship. But then again these are smaller mm sized chains. Leon’s 6.5mm 14k is on the left and Reys 8mm 10k is on the right.
I will be returning Leon’s chain to get shortened this wk. if anyone is interested in purchasing the chain for $2,350($300 cheaper than what I paid) PM me.

Anybody ever had a plain Cuban diamond paved? Any idea on what to expect to be paying for labor for each stone set if I already have the stones?
