This channel focuses on jewelry types, widths and lengths in order to help you make a great purchase when it comes to online shopping. I've always found it so hard to shop online and to think about what type of stacks I would like to buy without having a good and clear reference which is why we do things the way we do them on this channel from 12 ft away. Please keep in mind that this is not a gold purity channel. The jewelry that you see on this channel is a mixture of gold purities as well as gold-plated jewelry. The point of this channel is not to showcase expensive jewelry but to help you make a good decision before you make a purchase.
Grateful to know that this channel has been helping and I look forward to continuing to do what we can do to help you with your purchases! Thanks for your support! 😀✊

From my 20 year machining career which includes blue prints obviously, if I were to make a print of a chain you could take 3 points to measure the chain. For ease sake we'll do a line on the bottom of the chain, the top, and through the middle. The middle line is the length and from the middle up is a width and middle down is the other half of the width. So then take same length chains and different MMs. You'll see that the middle line stays the same for length, but the thicker or thinner the chain will adjust the look of how it sits. But it won't shorten or lengthen the look only one way. It'll do half the mm on top and half in bottom. So two 20" chains one at 5mm and one at 10mm. Lain on top of each other you'll see the middle line representing the 20" length is the same, but you'll have 2.5mm added to top look length and 2.5mm added to bottom look length. Making it appear both shorter to the neck and also longer down the chest.
Bro, you just blew my mind 🤯 🤣🤣🤣 very, very cool!!
I don't understand this explanation.
@@matthewdavis9437 YOU MAY UNDERSTAND BETTER WITH PICTURES THAN WITH WORDS
Great video Bro and a very important topic that I feel lots of people do not even consider when they are deciding on which mm to go with.
Thanks so much man, I really appreciate it! I'm so grateful to know that it was a worthwhile topic to cover! Thank you so much for the input ✊🙌
Wow i never would have imagined the width affected it so much thanks man for all the real deal scenario reviews love em
Isn't that crazy!? It's a privilege to help, thanks for letting me know that the content is beneficial! 🙌
@@FromADistanceJewelry hey man I'm buying a chain but I don't know what a 14mm 50 cm chain in Cuban would look like... Is it big or what can I reference it to in this video?
Super informative, great realistic demo, thank you so much for this!
My privilege, happy to help!
this is a really cool video. I’ve always wondered this but never bothered to experiment myself. the neck trick is also something I thought only I knew 😂 hope all is well dude you’re looking much healthier again👍
Hey bro! I'm so glad you liked the video! And yes, I LOVE the neck trick! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who uses it! And thanks again man, I'm feeling pretty good so far! 😀🙌🙏
I'm 5'7" 155lbs with a 15in neck. I wear a 20in figaro necklace that's 3.5mm thick. It's perfect. Comfortable enough to never feel like you're wearing it, can be worn inside or outside the shirt, and most importantly, doesn't get in the way when I'm working out.
That's what I'm talking about! Comfortable, clean, versatile and fits the bill for a daily wear!
This is crucial. I bought a 3mm Cuban years ago 24” and just recently bought a 8mm Cuban 24”. And the 3mm feels so much longer. I could’ve gone 26” on the 8mm
Love these videos keep it up 😊💯
This video helped a lot! I got a 20in 14mm and the jeweler called back to be sure about this!! I’m glad I stuck with it!
14mm is insane 😂
24 inches is my favorite length. I own everything between 20 and 30 inches. 24 no matter the width is my favorite because it’s a good wear alone size and ideal for pendants as well.
how many mm for a 24 inch?
The video I never knew I needed to watch. Bought a 5mm 18 inch. Thanks man
My privilege!! 👊
Thinking of getting a 5mm 18inch too, how do u like it?
Back in black! My longest chain is a 24 inch 5mm Miami Cuban. If I take my glasses off, I can put it on without unlatching it. It has a tendency to get in the way while I work out. Even when it’s tucked, it can get tangled up with other chains especially on the bench press. I like the length regardless although it has problems laying down flat. It almost tries to twist at the very bottom of the loop. I think a wider width would lay down flat at that length. I’m 5’11 178 pounds.
Gary, my man! Way to break it down brother! Thanks for taking the time to leave this bro, great info!! Good to hear from you man!
I seem to have the same twisting issue on my sterling silver 8.5mm 24” miami cuban. can be quite annoying for sure, do you think having links removed would help the twist?
@@pancakesociety743 When I shorten mine to around 22 inches, it seems to help it lay down flat. Or when I wear it lower down on my neck to allow it to have more surface area to contact with. I think that a 24 inch Miami cuban is subject to the laws of gravity. I was disappointed at first bc it came from Daniel Jewelers inc and was hand made but I think that’s just the way it goes with longer chains. They almost want to roll downhill like a snowball.
@@garybrownlee7319 I hear ya on that, for now I'll stick to 22" and under. have you considered taking it back to daniels to have it shortened? that's an awful lot of money to spend just to ultimately not be happy with it?
@@pancakesociety743 I’m happy with it. If anything I wish I had spent a little more and got an 8 or 9mm. I think I would like to have a larger sized franco or rope in 22.
I've gone odd lengths for this reason on thicker chains. My wife's silver 12mm miami cuban link choker I had made at 17 inch rather than 16 inch to get the correct look. Shout out to MARV it came out prefect. For the same reason I ordered my new miami cuban at 25 inch even though the look I like is normally 24 inch. I should have it by the beginning of June. I am also hoping that 25 inch will also allow me to get it over my head easily.
Hey, Roy! I think it's so fantastic that you typically customize your chains lengths in this way! Absolutely phenomenal 👌👌👌🔥 Thanks for sharing your message with the community! It will definitely benefit the viewers ✊✊✊
25" is perfect in my opinion
Hey I’m 5,1 and I agree with you joe the bigger the mm the shorter looking the chain. Like to me a 2 mm chain at 19 inches looks like 20 inches and a 13 mm chain at 20 inches looks like a 18 inch. But still even if you have a 13 mm and you put it inside the shirt I think you should size up to 21 inches for comfort but that’s just my opinion.
Hey, Amel! I agree, you're right bro! Not only about the references you made to the lengths and millimeters but also about the comfort, it's very important! ✊🙌
I dig the 24-26 inch 9-10mm size chains. Those are my favorite.
Amazing content. What is s the weight of 10 and 13 mm chain if they were of 22k gold? Kindly mention weight in grams. Thank you
22 in 10 mm Cuban for me. I’m 5’9” this helped me a lot!
this was super helpful!
I'm late to the party but could you do a video comparing with a button down shirt? Like how many buttons need undone to show how much of each chain length. I usually wear button down shirts when I would wear a chain not a Tshirt
Hey just wanted to ask you about why some websites charge more and some charge less (been looking at saints gold and proclamation jewelry) for a 5 mm 18k d/c Franco chain. Saints gold states theirs is about 98 grams for 6,700$ for yellow gold and proclamation is saying their 5 mm is about 90 grams for 6,900$ of yellow gold why do you think saints gold charges less ?
im 5'11 200lb 17" neck and have a 20" 8mm.. recently noticed my chain lays around my neck almost like a circle, doesnt have much of a taper like if i put a pendant on it, that chain hang if you will.. wanting to go up to a 10mm and am torn between 20 and 22, I dont want it to slide all across my chest when i walk (waddle) but i do want it to wear like it has a small pendant on it and not look like a solid circle around my neck.. do you think the added weight going from 8mm-10mm will help this or should i bump up to a 22"
Me personally I prefer 22in @3-5mm width. But I also understand why some guys like choker style or even an 18-20 to keep it moderate. I just like a dot more length. My 2mm rope is a 26 and I wear my grandfathers ring on it. But 22 is my happy medium. I would’ve likely been very happy with a 20 as well which this video made me realize. Thank you
So is length or girth more important??
Bruh, may I know how tall you are.... I'm 6ft and I feel, with a 22" 12mm thick cuban chain, it would be "just nice".
20" is most likely a sweet spot length for most men but I suspect taller men from 1.8m onwards can afford a slightly longer, thick chain
to fill the chest space a little more and look better-balanced. I'm inclined to a 22" 12mm chain which I will swear hidden beneath my shirt.
The chain show will just peep out from the t-shirt rim line and its girth for me will display a tinge of masculinity to an extent. I don't think
a polo tee will suit a thicker -assed 10mm or 12mm chain, nor a long sleeve business shirt. It depends on the style of shirt won.
I also like thin 1.5 to 2mm chains for a different look altogether. These I am thinking to wear both 20" and 24-26" inches in a different style.
@@openranks4519 Neither... it's what you can do that counts. Just saying.... 😅
Thanks for the informative video 💯👍
Ok so first of all thank you for making this video and giving legit informations 👊, I think i got the point about the thickness and mm of the chain, but i am 6 feet tall what kind of lenght would you recommend for me if i would like my chain to be middle one not so long and not short like your preference ?
I got a 6.5 mm franco bracelet. 7.5 inch didn't fit my wrist but a 5mm franco 7.5 inch fits perfect
Niice! My man! ✊👌🔥
You made some good points, my 8mm Figaro 20in actually looks shorter on me than say my 3mm Valentino 20in✌️
My man! Thanks for confirming this! Good to know I'm not completely crazy 🤪 🙌
How many grams are those. I just bought a 20 inch 104 gram chino link.
what is your neck size? is 3.5mm cuban link 20inch ok for everyday use?. i'm about 5 10 and almost 200lbs. with about 16.5 inch neck
I bought a 22in L by 20mm W Diamond Cuban Link im trying to fit them on hoodies so i always look for longer can you help?
What length should I buy if a wanna remove my chain above my head ???
Perfect explained, thanks
So happy to help!
where can I suggest a chain combo?
So is length or girth more important??
Yeah man you just really schooled me in knowledge about millimeters in etc because I started off with the Cuban link 4 oz I think it's about 20 to 24 in from there I've gotten I got like seven box chains summer rhodium plated some of them with diamond cut it and some of them are regular a regular color stone silver five or six different bracelets I got Sterling base Red Sox earrings I just got actually bought an eagle pendant from somewhere on Amazon it's coming in soon I love sylvio it's amazing but I I have a lot of different sizes like you I got probably everything from 18 all the way to a 30-in chain you know what I mean so I just mix and match them and wear pendants with them and just have fun you know it's not gold you don't have to worry about getting robbed but still you might because if you keep your stuff shiny it looks like white gold stay safe out there
Great analysis.
Happy to help!! Thank you!
Same height and same weight here, Sir.. later I'll check my neck circumference😊
informative video thanks
Needed this
So glad to know it bro! So happy to help when I can. Appreciate your kind words & support! ✊
This deserve a million views
I’m 6 foot 1 and 230lbs. A 10mm on me looks like a ladies size chain. And a 20” is a choker on me and is way too small. 24” is my minimum length and I prefer 26”. A nice size on me is 12mm and 24” long. If I go to a 14mm or 15mm wide then I go to a 26”.
I’m 6’1” and 196lbs - your comment helped convince me to get a 24 inch chain that now fits me spectacularly (my first time buying a chain and it was a home run!). Got the 15mm but was going to get a smaller length which would’ve not been nearly as impressive. Wanted to come back here and thank you for your help!
Hey I need help on making cuban link how sizes the wire shouldbe
If i have 2mm wire how much the thik of the wire im rollin the wire on
6mm 22inch and I'm 5.5 but i got a bulkier neck looks like a 20inch i bought another 8mm 24 inch
Love the videos mate. Great help. Sorry if you've mentioned this, but can I ask how many inches your neck/collar size is? Trying to see how it compared to me and how various lengths will sit on me. Cheers!
Literally saw you said 14.5" as I was writing that haha
Great video keep it up
Thank you so much my friend! Truly appreciate your kind words and support!
What’s your neck size because that’s more relevant than anything else. 5mm 20” fits no wear near how it looks on you than me, can barely keep it under the collar
I wear 30 inch to 42 inch and wear outside my shirt. Thanks for making the video.
Ill go for an 18 inch 12 mm silver chain.
I’m 15 years old and am 5’10”. Can’t pick between 8-11mm. 18-20in. I want a daily wear for my baseball games and going to school. Please help me.
What did you decide on? Same situation for me
I’m always on the fence about getting either a 22 inch or 24 inch chain… Regardless of millimeter, I’m almost 6’1” and about 200 pounds. In your opinion, between a 22 inch and a 24 inch chain, which would be the more ideal length. I wear chains anywhere from 4 mm up to 8.5 mm in width mainly Francos and Cubans. I know a lot of it comes down to personal taste, but I really would appreciate your insight.
24 minimum
Hey bro! Obviously the size millimeter you choose will have an impact visually when it comes to the length but personally I would probably go with the 24 in if you were going with a larger width and maybe a 22-in if you're going with a smaller width. Hope that makes sense!
So is length or girth more important??
@@FromADistanceJewelry Thanks for the response. What would you consider a larger width? Let’s say anything over 5mm? I know it also depend on the style of chain. I find Francos tend to look shorter because of their design. What about a 5.5 mm Cuban link style chain? 22 or 24 inches? For someone like myself.
Get a size that will fit over your head without having to use the clasp .
That's funny you said 21" I just ordered my 10mm at 21" which I feel is that sweet spot. I've had length from 28"-20 and 21 I feel is perfect👌
May I know your height bro? i'm 6ft. Athletic build. Thinking of 22" 12mm cuban but your comment has gotten me thinking.
Can you do a video on plating silver in Rhodium? I had two of Luke zions chains plated by a local jeweler. They came back significantly darker than they were originally. Is this normal??
Very interesting... Last time I checked rhodium was whiter than silver. I'll see what I can do.
@@FromADistanceJewelry I would greatly appreciate it. I thought that also, not sure why they came back darker
@@JIanniello0 you got it bro. I'm not sure why either
What do you think about a 12mm and 20inch Cuban for Daily?
Hey my friend! Personally I think 12 mm for a daily wear is a little bit large but you're talking to somebody who has 5 ft 6 in at 155lbs. It all depends on what you like at the end of the day regardless of your shape or size but personally I think it's a little bit large. I'll try to throw a video out on it!
Watch your videos before i bought necklace
Nice content
20" is good all around you can run with it no problem
So happy to help, Niko! And thanks for taking the time to leave this comment, it'll help others!! 🙏👊
@@FromADistanceJewelry do you have fb page i can follow?
@@nikooliver1 hey my friend, currently only an Instagram page but I should definitely start up a Facebook one soon. The Instagram page is linked in the description of every video.
Hope you had a great weekend my friend.
Ditto brother!! It's not over yet! Enjoy! 😀🙌
@@FromADistanceJewelry no doubt brotha🙏🏾🙏🏾
The thickness or your neck affects size as well u can have two guys same height but one with a thicker neck and the sane chain will look completely different
9mm on a 18inch is 🔥
I personally prefer 20 inch the most. 22 inch is pretty good too but I would pick 20.
I know this is off topic but do you work out often? You look in great shape 💪🏻
Thank you so much, yes I in fact do exercise very often and I have a bodybuilding channel if you would like to check it out. Just put in CZcams, "Joey Bee" and you should see me pop up. Thanks for the compliment, you are very kind!
Hey man, been watching some of your videos over the past month or so. I appreciate the attention to detail and all the info you’re putting out there. I recently ordered an 18” and a 21” 10mm from DJI for my wife and I. I went to the mall and tried on different sizes and decided those would probably work perfectly for us and sit pretty tight but not a choker. I’m 5’7” about 190, so I initially was going to do an 18” but after realizing my 16.5” neck and traps would make a chain that length a choker. Patiently waiting for our chains to arrive in a couple months and considering doing a CZcams video for people who have a build like mine. Would you ever consider bringing some friends into your videos who are different weights and sizes?
Hey brother! I would definitely consider that my friend! Thanks for reaching out by the way. Yeah it's really hard because everybody's built so different to give everyone the best idea of the length that would be good for them. It would be really cool to be able to collaborate! 👍
You know what's funny though, I actually did a video showing an 18-in 10 mm Miami I believe. And in all honesty if you would have asked me initially I never would have told you to get an 18 in. I do believe that an 18 in is definitely along the lines of choker region for most men. I'm so glad you realized before you got your piece! 👌
Out of these 3, I like the 10mm. The 5mm looks too thin and the 13 is too gaudy for my taste.
i allway bought the heaviest chain i can afford. wearing a 28" 10.3mm cuban, 28s are perfect 26s are too small to take them off over my head
Tell me about it.🥴I have a cuban link coming that's a 30mm with a 28" length! Hopefully, it hangs well.😂🤞🏽🤣
I hope so too bro!
Thanks from India🥳
I prefer same as you said at the end of the video. 20inch inside the shirt. That’s all.
@@cinnamon4605 thanks so much for letting us know and great to hear from you all the way from, India!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The 10 mm looked 100% visibly shorter at 20 inch than the smaller one but not 2 full inches shorter. So, no it doesn't look like an 18. I think that it's also ridiculously thick for a chain. I don't understand the appeal of really fat chains.
I think over 6 mm is probably too much.
I think 22 inch is the perfect length for chains. If you want to wear it out of the shirt that is.
I do agree with a 20 if you tuck it like you prefer.
I am 15 years old 5’10” 180 lbs. prolly gonna be 6’2 - 6’4. I can’t choose between 8-11mm. 18-20in. Miami Cuban. Love the vids. Can you get please help me choose?
Honestly I would wait till you are the height you will be forever. You never know and you don't want to spend a bunch of money on something that won't work because you "probably" were going to be something, you know. But I am 6'3 and 188lbs and I rock a 22" 4.5mm cuban with a 24" 5mm rope and they sit about where his 20" sits on him. It's about neck thickness and torso length.
I agree with fartylipjucie you should probably wait for your permanent size cuz you never know. And if you play baseball for the rest of your life maybe get something slightly smaller but again you never know if you don’t play for the rest of your life so you should a little bit.
I was done growing at 15 but everybody’s different. Gotta agree with fartylipjuice here. either way I’d go with an 8mm 18inch; it’s a hell of a lot of weight even at 8mm depending on where you shop it should be around the 100g mark and would definitely get annoying any higher mm width for use when training etc. maybe you should try buying some gold plated or silver joints to get a feel for it and make your decision then
I'm so glad that the fantastic people on this channel were able to weigh in with this great question! Personally Isaiah, I feel as though it would be best to probably save the money if you're looking to purchase a real solid piece until later on in life.
I'm actually going to do a video in regards to this specifically for you as well as some of the other fantastic younger people who have reached out regarding the same things. Keep an eye out for that video, I will also include my opinion on what you should get if you do decide to go forward anyway! Talk soon bro!
Perhaps do videos with different outfits on showing chains on a dressed up guy not in a basement.
I don’t like anything longer than a 20 on me personally
I hear you 100% bro!! I love the 20" 👌
10MM
20inch chain stops it hitting me in the mouth when bending over lol
True I had my chains hitting me right on the lip, chin when bending
Chain gonna chip my tooth if I don’t brace for chain impact lol
Idk… u have a pencil neck & thicker chains are gonna look way different on someone with a thicker neck…
Excellent point!
24 for big dudes,,,
They all look the same length
Guys who wear anything shorter than 22 is too femenine. But im old school.
