Just speaking on my personal interactions on here brother. I'm pretty sure I'm out of the loop, Daniel's was the guy that I kept getting referred to last time I was in this thread.. Do the other two have an online site?

I still think daniels is a good n fair priced Miami Cuban maker. It’s great for a lot of people that don’t get into the trenches about Miami’s. There are better options but Daniels website gives so much more than just a text/ig Dm/ the next mans word.
so I will usually tell people to go to daniels.

Thanks brother. While we here, I was thinking about copping this pendant. I have a 7mm 22" cuban from Daniel's. Would the bale on this pendant be too small to fit around that chain? If so what's your opinion on the optimal sized chain for a pendant of this size?

A 7mm gonna be to big for that. Unless u get the bale modified.

You think 5mm would be the way to go?

 

[SplinterMatic319]

For the people who sold to jewelers, do they give yall melt/spot price or a bit under it?

Depends on the lock of the Cuban. But lobster clasp chains should be good. U should really try it out tho.

On the road now. I'm just gonna do some measurements when I get home and ask them to do a custom bale.

For what it’s worth the width on my box lock is 13mm is while my chain is 7.5mm.

If you’re going to buy something online to go on a Cuban with a box lock I highly advise buying something with a bail you don’t mind replacing or stretching. With bails with diamonds or designs I personally would be wary of chopping up. It’s best to take a trip to the store with your chain in hand for test fitting since weight is also important for pendants on Cubans.

They want to make a profit that makes it worth doing business . Most jewelry stores will try and give you with 27-31 per gram for 14k

even less if they see desperation in your eyes

It depends on were you go , most jewelers are selling 18k at around 54-56 per gram brand new since gold went up .

If you try to sell them 70 grams of 18k , the will try give you around 40 - 44 per gram

Daniel jewelry be having inexperienced employees doing all the order works. He should atleast double check before sending them out to customers.

Reys himself actually does all the work.
quality >>> Quantity

Reys >>>>>>

my chains wont be done / in hand till early Sept shouldnt have slept so long on gettin em

Hey yall, a friend just got a new 3.5MM franco chain from a reputable site (seen it mentioned here), and there may be an issue, so I was hoping to get your input. He noticed that one end has a slight bend. Is this normal for francos or should he reach out to the jeweler and see if they will replace it? I know the hang straight test is important for cubans, I'm just not sure if it applies to new francos. I can get a pic if needed. Thanks for any help.

Good luck man, I lost my old angel piece, and it took me over a year to find a replacement cause I hate all the ones that are out there For me, an angel MUST have a hidden bale, otherwise, even if the angel perfect, it’s a no go for me. mine was a lucky eBay purchase. I was looking on the right day. But my favorite all time angel piece, I can’t afford rn. And that’s Icebox’s angel, so If you got the bread. Buy my dream piece
