Cuban Link Chains

The cuban link is the backbone of statement jewellery — a tight, interlocking flat-link chain that sits heavy and catches light beautifully. It comes plain (polished metal) or iced-out (pavé-set with stones), in every width from subtle to full-on statement.

When judging a cuban link, width and link tightness are everything: a good one lies flat and feels substantial, a cheap one twists and gaps. The clasp matters too — a box clasp with a safety catch is worth having on a heavier piece. Our chain-styles guide covers how cuban compares to rope, figaro and box links. Below is a curated selection.
