A gold Cuban necklace as a gift: choosing without knowing his size

A gold-tone Cuban necklace is one of the easiest chains to give a man: the link is familiar, it goes with what he already wears, and it does not need a pendant. The hard part is choosing a width and a length when you cannot measure him. This page gives you safe choices. To be clear about what you are giving: all four necklaces here are stainless steel or titanium steel with a gold-tone plating, not gold, and where there are stones, they are cubic zirconia.

The safe default

If you know nothing about his taste, take the Cuban Link Chain Necklace in gold-tone, 4 or 6 mm, at 20" or 22". 20" sits at the collarbone; 22" sits a little lower and suits a broader neck. 4 mm is discreet enough for a man who rarely wears jewelry; 6 mm is visible over a t-shirt.

A middle option: the Cuban Link Chain with Pave Clasp. In gold-tone its links are plain and only the clasp is set with cubic zirconia, so it stays calm from the front.

Three clues to his size

  • A chain he already owns: lay it flat and measure it end to end, clasp included.
  • His shirts: a large collar size usually means 22" rather than 20".
  • When in doubt: go one length longer. A chain slightly long looks relaxed; a chain too short feels tight.

FAQ

Gold Cuban gift FAQ

What if the size is wrong?

He has 30 days to return it, and every necklace has a 1-year warranty against defects. Shipping is free on orders over $60.

Can he wear it every day?

Yes, in the shower, at the gym, at the sea or in the pool. Rinsing it in clean water after the sea or the pool helps, and perfume and chlorine wear the gold-tone plating over time.

Is it made of gold?

No. It is steel with a gold-tone plating, and we say so plainly so the gift holds no surprise.
