The truth of Jacoje and Daniel's Jewelry Inc.?

Intro

Article Pertains to Francos; however, may apply to more of the chains with "nova" imprint.

Hello! I recently purchased a solid gold 2.5mm 20" chain in downtown LA. I spent around $47/gram on the chain and it's 18.5 grams. I love the chain however, I noticed a few things which may lead to the truth of where Jacoje and Daniel's Jewelry Inc. get their chains from.

Here is the key identifier of my chain:

1) The front side of my chain is the exact same as the Jacoje diamond-cut plain and according to Cubaknow, is the same as DJI.

LA District 47/g 2.5mm Plain Franco

2) The backside has the same identifier which I believe says "Nova"

I linked the screenshot of Cubaknow showing the exact same identifiers of Jacoje and DJI. This then made me realize, after purchasing, Jacoje and DJI drop ship their chains. They charge relatively the same price as well, which I'm guessing, is to maintain the market.

What now?

I looked online to find exactly where they get their gold from. It looks like it comes from

Nova Gold Imports:

You can see what I am talking about by going to the "Basic Chains" section and looking at the specifications. Jacoje has the approximate weight of each chain which is almost exactly the same specifications as this website.

The Yelp reviews sometimes say the customer service is bad; however, prices are very good. I have come to the conclusion that it is the same jewelry based on insane similarities.

Reason for writing this:

I believe it's okay to make a profit off individuals and I respect what these companies do. They're master marketers and make it seem as if their chains come from factories that are unique to them.

I urge you to do more research, I could be wrong so this is why I made this, I want to get your opinions! I hope people can see this and save money while shopping for chains! I did not write this with any negative intent! Please let me know if I am wrong!
