The amount of work and attention to detail that making a Cuban chain like this is absurd, as you'll see on the video.
Here are the main steps to making the chain:
00:00 Mixing gold with other metals to make 14K gold.
00:22 Melting gold with torch and pouring into ingot mold to make bar.
01:17 Scanning bar with XRF Analyzer to show gold alloy details.
01:31 Stretching gold bar to form wire (includes annealing).
02:45 Forming and cutting the links for the chain.
04:09 Connecting and soldering links.
05:30 Twisting chain to align links.
07:18 Filing the links to give chain the characteristic flat look.
09:05 Polishing chain.
10:01 Attaching and welding last link of Cuban chain.
11:06 Final chain weigh in (approximately 1000 grams of 14K gold).
12:07 Finished chain!

Price and carats
The chain is 14k and at today's gold prices, it'll be just shy of $50,000.
@@Crmjewelers If you got 50 racks to drop, why not just spend a little more and get it made in 18k?
It's based on personal preference. Most clients come with a set gold quality in mind. 🤷♂️
@@Crmjewelers so the weight is meaning less cause it's not high in gold content, correct?
For some reason, whenever I’ve seen chains before I’ve always just thought of them as being made mostly by machines, but after watching this I really appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship, and just how human this process really is. The jewelry and expensive clothes have never been my cup of tea, but from now on I was take time to appreciate the craftsmanship of these fine pieces.
These are much higher quality than machine made chains. Thank you for watching! Stay tuned for our 2-kilo chain video. Coming soon!
Most definitely
Agreed
Most mass merchant jewelry chains are by machine, but you can never get this gauge by machine
@@Crmjewelers is that a commissioned piece or will it be for sale?
3:57 those pan seared links look amazing, perfectly golden brown all the way through, enough oil to prevent sticking, Gordon Ramsey would be proud
It's our secret recipe 😜
😆
those links also look like the gold rings from the sonic games
😂 cookies 😎 #🥇
Bro, I was thinking the same thing. "wow, those seared rings are going to come out nice. Thats an expensive dinner."
This took me back to my preteen yrs. My father made me go to work every summer vacation at his shop back in the 70s. Taught me all these techniques. Hated it so much I still won’t wear jewelry to this day. But I am grateful fir it. Taught me how to work!!! And saved enough to buy myself a motorcycle.
Awesome Isaiah. Thanks for sharing that story. 👍🙇
The part when the bycicle chain looking chain is rotated into a beautiful necklace shape is magical. love it
Where did you see a bicycle chained??
This is like the ring from lord of the rings but instead of going invisible when you put it on, you just get robbed.
😭😂 funniest comment ever

Make it quick release and practise handing it off before you go out of an evening.

Yes you are

Whatever the price is, the amount of care and craftsmanship pays for every penny
About $25,000 for the raw material and add another 10k for labor. About 35k for a chain. I agree though. Nice craftsmanship
It's 14k gold, which is higher than your figure. The actual chain is around $47,000 including labor.
@@alexdimov3623 the Gold alone is almost 35k at today's spot price of 1844. 14k is 58.5% pure.
You said it! This is a artist! Beautiful
@@Crmjewelers 14k gold???!!!
It's not pure gold.

@@Crmjewelers I dont think the realise that you don't get the gold for free
I'm very impressed with your ability to work such a large chain with so little use of machines. Healthy greetings👍

Clever folks
2000? We've been crafting gold for over 5000.
Old is gold.
Wow. Skilled, Professional, Craftsmanship. Amazing to watch, well done.
The process of this gold is amazing. I am a avid buyer of platinum and the process takes so much more. Don’t argue the price pay what it weigh. 💪🏾
i dont see much platinum jewelry. my impression is that men like to wear platinum but most men dont wear jewelry apart from their wedding bands and sometimes watches
Never wanted a gold chain, until I saw this video.
Ha, I'm glad 😉
@@checkmate2111 damn here I gave u a response
You don't buy these chains from Cuba. Cuban is just a name thing not to be taken literally.
@@Crmjewelers yall are fast to reply huh
Ha Ha, we try.
This is the first time I've ever wanted a gold chain.
Ha, then our job is done!
@@Crmjewelers yess good job bro the only thing is i can't afford it, so this time i did not do a good job

I didn't realize how much had to go into making a cuban link, impressed I must say
Yes man, it's pretty crazy the account of work and craftsmanship behind it.
🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
My man really cooked some gold like he was making eggs for breakfast.
Ha Ha, frying them golden eggs. All kidding aside, that white powdery substance added to the pan with the links is Borax. Borax helps the solder to flow better when the gold links are welded together.
Rofl! Couldn't have worded that any better man! Damn I want one of these chains! Especially after watching how they're made !
Thanks man. Yes, these chains are amazing! 👍

@Gabriel Renovalles all you can eat gold buffet!
I grew up in Brooklyn and always got my jewelry from some very respected jewelers on Canal St.. Fernando's jewelers on 70 Bowery was where I got my piece made, a 14k cooking spatula patterned after a real spatula I gave the jeweler to make for me.. It came out gorgeous 3 in long and 35 dwt or 55 grams and had paid $600 back then.. I always respected the talent of jewelry craftsman!

lol at all these people who can't afford one talking about 'not my thing'. Just show your appreciation and keep it moving. No one cares that you can't afford one. If it is not your thing, even less reason to comment imho. Now to the video, excellent craftsmanship.
Thank you my friend 🙏

@@Elbaz8 thanks and you're right. These chains are like a work of art.

@Bill Zussman huh? I wish 🤣🤣🤣
I`ve never knew the quantity of work involved in making this cain. Always imagine that there is a machine doing it automatically. Thanks for sharing this wonderful craft !
Thank you Jack. There are machine made chains as well, but never as good as these handmade Cuban links.
Most gold chains are made by a machine.
That takes so much skill to even pour the gold into the mold, and not loose any by spilling or even overflow.
1000% respect for your hard work. Beautiful 🤛🏻

As a welder and machinist, this looks like a really rewarding profession.
It's a lot of work, but seeing the finalize chain at the end makes it all worthwhile!
i completely second that and i love my jewelry as well.
@@2StrokeMadness.88 welcome to the club my friend.
Devin Clark -Nothing like using ur hands ❤️ and Fire 😍 hot fiah ! Mmmmmm
@DJDeezy ThaTruth definitely a hot combo! 🔥😉
What scares me the most is this is the level of craftsmanship to just make the chain. I can’t even imagine the level of patience and dedication it takes to get that chain covered in diamonds as I’m assuming someone would need to place each and every diamond on it.
Yes Luis, this takes A LOT of work and skill to make. Adding disconsolate to it add yet another level of complexity and labor.
I really loved watching this video till the end. That’s when I got sad because I then remembered, I’ll never be able to afford something like that Masterpiece… Walking away sad now. Hahaha!
Finally something for my brutally deep insecurity to balance it out.
Commercialism has ruined craftsmanship , this is super underrated .
It takes about 10 total hours to finish a chain like this after you acquire the gold necessary to make it. It's quite labor intensive, not counting the skills required to make it high quality.
Gold Smith's are literally translating the methods taught by the gods as per the Sumerian & angelic teachings .
I agree how much labour and eye for detail is required .. it's fascinating and a form of art to forge a beauty from a raw form.
Many try to create what you have and don't cone close , thoroughly enjoyed this feature .
Thank you for the support my friend 🙇
Same brother ,we also make these type of chain in gold and silver but machine made chain have snatched the value of our hardwork on making these from us
Yes
I can not believe that you can make such a luxurious golden masterpiece . This is conclusively clear that human's creation and their talent is unlimited.
Artist. Master Goldsmiths. Kudos fantastic craftsmanship:) who knew those golden looking little doughnuts would be turned into a majestic golden piece of jewelery:) Very talented guys :) I would have used a piece of Black velvet to show it off! Other than that Bravo, you guys Rock :)
And to think the ancient civilizations all over the world did this and so much more with gold and other metals. Amazing video thank you

This was really amazing .I'm in love with that chain .the craftsmanship is second to none . beautiful.
Thank you Tim.
I like it too but not with the price of gold today, had one slightly smaller in early 2000s.
Do you Need Accounts Services , Transaction Handle , Payment Handle All Over world?
I can appreciate the exorbitant price of items like this when seeing the craftsmanship that goes into making them.
You are still paying mostly for the gold. Most of the people who own this jewelery don't hold their cash in banks so it needs to be held somewhere.
I think you're generalizing my friend.
@@Crmjewelers how much does it cost?
Given its 1kg of gold or 31.25 ounces which is worth just on the gold value at around$US 60,000 plus the manufacture.
Around $47,000 including labor and materials. The one on the video is 14k gold.
Lindo demais,pura perfeição
Com certeza é uma obra de arte !!!
Muito obrigado.
I’m impressed ! I need an upgrade.. I really like the idea of not having the lock when the Cuban reaches a certain size Looks perfect 👌🏽
Thanks Anthony. I like the continuous non lock design as well for long enough chains, but everyone is different. Some clients prefer the lock though, like the one who bought this Cuban chain.
man theres something on cuban chain's that attracts me everytime.
im a simple man i see cuban i click.
LOL maybe you're more of a sophisticated man that you think 😜
Always fun watching masters of their craft kick ass in real time =)
Necklace of 1kg of cuban gold exposed on a piece ofTOILET PAPER is priceless! XD
We're into viral sh*t like that 😜
Man thats a TON of work
A ton is putting it lightly 😜
Big money involved in it.
You know it Lex 😉
@@Crmjewelers xdz
A ton of work is a ton of money bro 👍
Very nice! The public can now see why a chain like that would cost upwards of 45k. Craftsmanship at it's finest. Wonderfull video documenting how it's done. Bravo!
.... read about gold and what the reserve did to double tripple quad their mula. They took OUR bars n coins and turned it into crap and asked too much then its only worth scrap half the time. Bitchin chain. But 14k? No. Pause when he checked the reading of purity. Its a pot metal chain with gold added too it. BUT DAMN THEY DID A BITCHIN JOB! Looked like pamp gold before melting
More like $63,000...1 Kilo=2.2 lb's...16 ounces per lb=34 ounces...34 ounces × $1,850.00 spot price per ounce=$62,900 not including Mark up for labor and profit...!!!
@@colindavis1496 damn, you're on it. I can tell, coz you just did the math for me. Lol
@@colindavis1496 the owner of this channel said that this one goes for $47k
That's correct, because the chain was made with 14k gold.
This is awesome. I thought about getting into goldsmithing but there are no schools near me! You guys make a lot of cuban link chains, I assume you're in Miami?
Thank you! Yes, we're in Downtown Miami.
Do you put copper in there to get better color or whats the purpose in using different golds or metals in the melt? Just noticing the brass colored pellets on the bottom of your scale shot.
14k is 14 parts 24k gold and 10 parts other metals, of which copper is the most common.
Beautiful final product! Stellar craftsmanship! Tons of hard work going in and i hope people can appreciate the craftsmanship that is still alive in 2020.
Fan for life from San Antonio Texas
Wish i could afford you're art
Thank you so much for your support and kind works Mike 🙇
The process is almost as dope as the chain is.
That's definitely a good way to put it LOL.
Wow that Cuban Link came out Beautiful 🤩 awesome 👏 JOB real Miami style.
Thank you Damian. 👍
What machine was that for cutting links? I have never seen that one before
Wow I had always wondered how flat chain links were connected together with no apparent seams. What a clever process!
Glad you like it. Thanks for watching!
You don't really know the amount of work it takes to make a chain by just looking at it! Amazing work! Respect!
Thank you so much Jefferson.

500 best i can do.
Get your chain and resale it for more than you originally paid for it. Pawn shop: 20k, This is pure gold ND was worn by Elvis presley. Lol

This has got to be one of those rare cases when then cost of the gold is more than the labor. That is one heavy chain. Nice work fellas.
Yes, the cost of the gold is the biggest part of the total cost. It's always like this unless a vendor rips you off with the price.
@@Crmjewelers or the quality of the materials
@@MarkarthCityGuard gold is gold. The quality of the labor is also important, but it'll never be more than the cost of the gold...or at least shouldn't be.
Keep ìiiiii
Well duh, I heard of auto mechanic
I’ve always wondered how these chains were made. I was perplexed thinking how each link was put together. And too top it off, it’s an Andre The Giant chain. Cool video.

Gold is the only money where you can literally wear your life savings on your neck! Let's go!
Not really. I wonder how much he paid for the labour. A 70k chain might cost 75k total so you are already down 5k you won't get back when you sell the chain.
Also gold is soft so it wears down. Your kilo chain will become lighter the more the wear it.
Indead... gold is the real and origineel money
Don't wear your life savings around your neck
You can wear it some of the time and the other times let it rest in a safe 😉
@@Crmjewelers hahaha if I had a chain it would be staying around my neck 24/7. But it wouldn't be the value of my life savings is what I mean 😂 maybe just a sizable chunk

Just a question , how much gold is lost in the whole process. Like how much gold u take in the starting and at the end how much is left?
6:15 finally I know how the chain that looks like a normal big chain turns into something that looks like the silver Bengal
