The Guide

How to Choose a Cuban Link Chain

Start with width, because it sets how the chain reads: 2.60 mm is a fine everyday line, 4.0 to 5.50 mm holds its own worn alone, and 7.00 to 8.00 mm makes the chain the statement. Then choose the build. A solid chain carries the most gold for its width, and the 4.0 mm solid Cuban weighs 21.9 grams at 18 inches; a semi-solid chain gives the wider look at a lighter weight. Length comes last: 18 to 20 inches sits at the collarbone, 22 to 24 inches falls mid-chest, and the 16-inch Cuban choker sits close to the neck. Check the clasp as well, since the wider chains close on a box clasp or a lobster clasp with end caps.

FAQ

What is a Miami Cuban link chain?

A Miami Cuban is a Cuban link chain whose oval links are set close and tight, so the chain lies flat as one dense, rounded line. DEEVE's Miami Cuban chains are 14K gold, never plated or filled, from 2.60 to 8.00 mm wide, in yellow, white and two-tone gold.

What is the difference between a solid and a semi-solid Cuban chain?

Construction. A solid Cuban has gold all the way through each link; semi-solid links are formed from thicker-walled gold tube, so the chain carries the width at a lighter weight. Both are 14K gold, never plated or filled. The weight shows it: at 24 inches the 4.0 mm solid chain weighs 29.1 grams and the 4.50 mm semi-solid chain 13.3 grams. Each listing names its build in the title and gives the approximate weight at every length.

What width Cuban link chain should I get?

Choose by how you want it to read. At 2.60 mm a Cuban is a fine everyday chain that layers easily; 4.0 to 5.50 mm holds its own worn alone; 7.00 to 8.00 mm makes the chain the statement. Wider chains are heavier, so the gram weight on each listing is worth reading alongside the width.

Do you carry white gold or two-tone Cuban chains?

Yes. Alongside yellow gold, the semi-solid Miami Cuban comes in 14K white gold at 5.50 and 7.00 mm, and the 8.00 mm pavé-cut Cuban is two-tone: yellow gold with white-gold links faceted to a pavé-like texture, with no stones set.

About this collection

A Cuban link chain is built from oval links twisted so each one lies flat against the next, which gives a dense, continuous line that rests flat on the chest. Every DEEVE Cuban chain is 14K gold, never plated or filled, from a 2.60 mm everyday chain to an 8.00 mm statement piece, in yellow, white and two-tone gold. Free worldwide shipping, with delivery in 5–7 business days.

Solid or Semi-Solid

The same pattern comes in different builds, and the weight tells them apart. A solid Cuban has gold all the way through each link: the 4.0 mm solid chain weighs 29.1 grams at 24 inches. Semi-solid links are formed from thicker-walled gold tube, so the chain keeps the width the pattern needs at a lighter weight; the 4.50 mm semi-solid chain weighs 13.3 grams at the same length. Both are 14K gold, never plated or filled. The two-tone 8.00 mm chain is pavé-cut: its white-gold links are faceted to a pavé-like texture, with no stones set.

Width, Length and Clasp

Width decides how a Cuban reads. At 2.60 mm it is a fine everyday chain, 4.0 to 5.50 mm holds its own worn alone, and 7.00 to 8.00 mm makes the chain the statement. Lengths run from the 16-inch Cuban choker to 26 inches: 18 to 20 inches sits at the collarbone, 22 to 24 inches falls mid-chest. Each chain closes on a box clasp or a lobster clasp, several with end caps, and the 4.0 mm solid chain's box clasp carries two safety latches.
