Cuban link chains, explained
A Cuban link chain is a thick curb chain with rounded links pressed tightly together, so it lies flat and reads as one continuous band. It is one of the strongest chain styles and is made to be worn alone.
How to choose a Cuban chain
Width: about 3 mm for a fine or women's Cuban, 4 to 6 mm for the classic everyday chain, 7 mm and up for a statement. Length: 20 to 22 inches sits around the collarbone for most men; 16 to 18 inches for women. Construction: a solid Cuban is gold all the way through and can be repaired; a semi-solid Cuban keeps the width with less gold and a lower price. Clasp: look for a box clasp with a safety catch, and close it every time.
Is a Cuban chain strong?
Yes. In solid gold it is one of the strongest chain styles.
What is the difference between solid and semi-solid Cuban chains?
A solid Cuban is gold all the way through; a semi-solid one has partially hollowed links and carries less gold.
What is the difference between a Cuban and a curb chain?
A Cuban is a heavier, thicker, more tightly interlocked curb chain.
