Cuban Chain Features

Cuban Link Chains are renowned for their bold and distinctive design, featuring a series of interlocking, uniform links that create a sleek, rope like pattern. These links are typically oval and lie flat against the skin, giving the necklace a smooth and polished appearance. Often crafted from high quality materials such as silver stainless steel. Cuban link necklaces are celebrated for their durability and luxurious feel.
With lengths available from 35cm to 80cm and an extension chain option, you can find the perfect fit that comfortably hugs your neckline. Effortlessly stylish and versatile, these pieces are designed to elevate any outfit, providing the finishing touch that makes you stand out with confidence. The necklaces come in various thicknesses allowing for a range of styles from subtle dainty elegance to chunky statement chains.

What material are your Cuban link chains made from?

Our Cuban link chains are made from high quality 316L stainless steel, a premium grade of stainless steel known for its durability, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting shine. It’s commonly used in jewellery because it resists tarnishing and holds up well to daily wear.

Are the gold Cuban chains real gold?

Our gold chains are gold plated over 316L stainless steel. This gives them the rich look of gold while maintaining the strength and durability of stainless steel.

Will the gold plating fade?

Gold plating can slowly wear over time with heavy use, friction, or exposure to chemicals. However, with proper care your chain should maintain its colour for a long time, usually years. From time to time wash with mild soapy water and pat dry to help extend the life of the plating.

What Necklace lengths and Thicknesses are available?

Our Cuban link chains come in a range of lengths to suit different styles:

35cm – Short / choker style
40–45cm – Close fit around the neck
50–55cm – Standard necklace length
60–65cm – Slightly longer streetwear look
70–80cm – Long statement chain

What thickness options do you offer?

Our chains are available in multiple thicknesses to match your style:

2–3mm – Dainty, minimal look
4–6mm – Classic everyday chain
7–9mm – Bold statement piece
10–12mm – Chunky, heavyweight Cuban style

Are the Cuban chains suitable for sensitive skin?

Our Cuban link chains are made from 316L stainless steel, which is widely used in jewellery because it is generally considered hypoallergenic and suitable for most skin types. This grade of stainless steel is often called surgical steel and is designed to be highly resistant to corrosion, sweat, and moisture, making it comfortable for everyday wear.

Most people with sensitive skin can wear 316L stainless steel jewellery without any issues. However, skin sensitivity can vary from person to person, and it’s impossible for any jewellery material to guarantee zero chance of a reaction for every individual.

If you have very sensitive skin or known metal allergies, we recommend monitoring how your skin responds when wearing the chain and removing it if any irritation occurs. In general, though, 316L stainless steel is one of the most skin friendly and reliable metals used in modern jewellery.

Do stainless steel Cuban link chains tarnish?

No. 316L stainless steel Cuban link chains are highly resistant to tarnishing, rust, and corrosion. Unlike many other jewellery metals, stainless steel keeps its shine even with regular wear, making it a popular choice for everyday chains.
