Real Grams vs. Fake Grams — What Jewelers Don’t Tell You

The Gram Game in the Cuban Link World

Ask anyone in the Cuban link scene — grams matter. That’s how you know if a chain is real or just smoke and mirrors. But here’s the problem: too many jewelers play the gram game dirty.

They’ll advertise one weight, then the chain you get in the mail is lighter, thinner, or worse — hollow. You think you’re buying 200 grams, but when you throw it on the scale, it barely cracks 170. That’s a straight-up hustle.

Solid vs. Hollow

A hollow chain looks big but weighs light. That’s why some jewelers push them — bigger profit for them, less gold for you. Solid links? That’s where the weight lives. A solid Miami Cuban link feels different when you put it in your hand. Heavy. Strong. Built to last.

Why We Don’t Play Games With Grams

At Pochy Jewelry, what you see is what you get. If we say the chain is 220 grams, it’s 220 grams when it lands on your scale. We don’t undercut, we don’t hollow out, and we don’t round numbers to make it look better.

Our customers put their chains on scales all the time — and the numbers hit. That’s why people who used to shop Daniel, Gus, even Trax are switching to us. We don’t sell fake grams.

Why Grams = Value

Gold is money. Every gram is worth real cash based on the market price. When you buy a Cuban link, you’re not just buying jewelry — you’re stacking gold that holds value. Why let someone rob you of 20, 30, even 50 grams just because they think you won’t notice?

Final Word

Real grams = real value. If your Cuban doesn’t weigh what the jeweler promised, you got played.
