Gold Cuban chain or another gold link? How the Cuban compares
Many men searching for a gold Cuban chain have seen one on someone else and want the same look. Before ordering, it helps to know what the Cuban does better than other gold links, and where another link would suit you more. This page compares our gold-tone Cuban chains with the other gold-tone links we offer: curb, Franco, rope, Figaro and Byzantine. Every chain here is stainless steel or titanium steel with gold-tone plating; gold is the color, not the metal.
Gold-tone links side by side
| Link | Look | Gold-tone widths | Lengths |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cuban | Flat, dense links that read as one band | 4 to 18 mm | 18" to 30" |
| Heavy curb | Same family, a little more open | 6 to 12 mm | 16" to 30" |
| Franco | Square profile, four faces | 6, 9 or 13 mm | 22" to 30" |
| Rope | Twisted, rounded, textured | 3, 4 or 5 mm | 20" to 26" |
| Figaro | Flat, three short links and one long | 3 to 6 mm | 16" to 26" |
| Byzantine | Woven, three-dimensional | 8 mm | 22" |
When the Cuban is the right choice
Choose a Cuban if you want the chain itself to be the piece, worn alone. Its links are twisted and flattened until they lie flat and reflect light in one clean line, which is why it looks smooth and solid rather than busy. It also covers the widest range: the Cuban Link Chain Necklace starts at a discreet 4 mm, and the Gold-Tone Cuban Link Chain goes from 8 to 18 mm, up to 30". To choose between plain links and cubic zirconia, see our gold Cuban necklaces, polished or set with stones.
When another gold link suits you better
- You want to hang a heavy pendant: the Franco Link Chain. Its four-sided links turn as you move without twisting, and it is the strongest base we have for a heavy pendant.
- You want a chain under a shirt: a 3 or 4 mm Figaro sits flatter and quieter than a Cuban of the same width.
- You want texture rather than shine: a rope or a Byzantine chain catches light from every angle instead of in one line.
- You like the Cuban look but want a slightly more open link: the heavy curb, from 6 to 12 mm in gold-tone.
Every link above in gold-tone is on our main gold-tone chains page.
Wearing and care
Showers, the sea and the pool are fine with any of these chains. Rinse in fresh water afterwards and dry. The flat faces of a Cuban show friction first, so keep perfume off it and wipe it with a soft dry cloth.
FAQ
Is a Cuban chain the same as a curb chain?
The Cuban is a curb link, tightened and flattened so the links sit closer. It looks denser than a standard curb of the same width.
Which gold chain is best with a pendant?
The Franco for a heavy pendant. A 4 mm Cuban in 22" also carries a light one well.
Is a gold Cuban chain made of gold?
No. It is stainless steel or titanium steel with gold-tone plating.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 30 days. Every chain has a 1-year warranty against defects, and shipping is free over $60.
