Cuban Chain Necklace in 14K Gold, 8mm

The Cuban chain is a very special type of curb link. Otherwise referred to as the Miami Cuban link, the Cuban is a rounder, bolder, tighter and thicker link than standard curb chains which are flatter and more elongated. In Spanish, the Cuban chain is called Cadena de Eslavon Cubano. While the chain is highly favored in Latin America, it is also very popular in the United States for its substantial and strongly masculine look.

This Cuban chain is semi-solid which means that while it is hollow at its core, its wall thickness is substantial such that the chain feels heavy. There are many benefits to semi-solid chains. This Cuban looks solid and feels luxurious and expensive without the expense or uncomfortable weight of a solid chain. The substantial wall thickness also makes it highly resistant to denting and scratching. Semi-solid also means that unlike regular hollow chains, this Cuban chain does not feel weightless or make a ‘tin-like’ rattling sound when held. As well, you cannot look into the interior links of the chain and see into the hollow area of the link.

This Cuban is 8mm in width which is very generous and substantial and gives a very bold impression of 14 karat gold. High polished to a bright gleam and secured with a large lobster claw clasp, you will enjoy this heirloom-worthy piece years and before you pass it along to the next generation.
