The Best Cuban Link Chains: A Buying Guide by GOLDZENN
When it comes to jewelry, the Cuban link chain is nothing short of the stuff of legends. From hip-hop culture to the high-fashion runway, Cuban links have become a staple for anyone looking to elevate their style. Be it a person new to jewelry or one who has been collecting for quite some time, a Cuban link chain is timeless in any accessory collection.
But with so many options, how can you be sure you're investing in a high-quality piece?
At GOLDZENN, we're here to guide you through it. Below is a breakdown of the most important qualities to look for when choosing the best Cuban link chain so that you can get one that will outlast others.
- Premium Materials: Quality Starts Here
Any time one goes to choose a Cuban link chain, it is very important to start with the basics: the materials. For a perfect shine, durability, and overall look, high-quality materials play an important role.
Pure Gold: As the mark of luxury, there is nothing greater than pure solid gold Cuban link chains for those desiring to live life in the most opulent style. These solid-gold pieces make more sense, as they are lasting in value and elegance, shining and remaining strong even after many years.
Gold Plating and Vermeil Options: If it's a bit beyond your budget to have a complete, solid chain of gold, then gold-plated or vermeil chains are really good options. Make sure, for durability purposes, that the items are plated with at least 14K gold. This high-karat gold will leave your chain in its substantial color and continuing brilliance.
Watch Out For Low-Quality Finishes: The market has been flooded with low-quality "gold-plated" chains that quickly lose their finish or chip away. Always buy through a reputable seller who not only ensures materials quality but also gives a warranty for craftsmanship - such as GOLDZENN.
- Link Construction: The Foundation of Strength
How each link of your chain is built constitutes the critical difference in durability, style, and overall quality of your chain.
Here is what you should check:
Thick, Sturdy Links: A good-quality Cuban link chain will have thick and well-built links. Those links should be weighty but balanced in a way that speaks of strength.
Smooth Finish: There must not be blemishes or discoloration signs on the chain.
Check the gold coating for any thin spots or bare spots.
Close Link Spacing: The biggest indicator of quality in a Cuban link chain is the spacing between links. These should be packed closely together, small or no gaps. A loose-linked chain risks twisting and tangling, while close links appear full and rich.
Hand-Set Stones for Iced-Out Chains: If you go for a diamond Cuban link, make sure it boasts hand-set stones. The hand-setting enables the precision of spacing and perfect setting. At GOLDZENN, all of our iced-out pieces boast high-quality setting methods to guarantee security and beautiful alignment for every stone.
- Correct Sizing: Getting the Perfect Fit
One of the most overlooked things when buying a Cuban link chain online is selecting your size. A perfect fit is necessary for both comfort and achieving a look of style.
Read Reviews: Check to see if the chain runs true to size via customer reviews. GOLDZENN is prideful in our products meeting expectations in sizing, and we're always here to answer any questions on sizing.
Measure in advance for a proper fit. Usually, the Cuban link sells anywhere from 18 to 30 inches in length. The chain of shorter length sits just right next to your neck, while the longer chain is more relaxed and bold.
Check our sizing guide: For those new to Cuban links, GOLDZENN has given the detailed sizing guide so that you can choose just right. No hassle of returns-just pick the chain that's just right.
Any chain needs a good clasp, but if the Cuban link is for daily wear, then this is a must. You want to choose an item that will keep it secure even when you're wearing it while being active. The clasp has to be integrated into the chain-literally part of the chain-made out of the same material and finish. Cheaper chains try to cut corners by fabricating a clasp out of some cheaper metal and then welding it to the chain, and it almost always happens that such a chain will be worn out far more quickly.
Durability and Functionality: A great clasp will have a safe, easy, and simple mechanism to operate. When one considers the larger clasps that open with ease and also close well, these are those that can be worn daily without any hassle or inconvenience.
Color and Finish Consistency: The color and finish of the clasp should be somewhat similar in appearance to the chain. GOLDZENN's Cuban link chains feature clasps that go along in perfect harmony with the overall design of the chain in terms of providing function and style.
- Shine Level: A Sign of Real Quality
Whether one goes for a regular Cuban link or an iced-out piece, quality of shine says much about the overall quality of the chain.
Quality of Gold: Where a plain Cuban link is concerned, the type of gold used within the chain, whether it is solid or plated, affects its shine. Higher-karat golds, such as 18K, boast a richer and warmer glow that adds to the elegance of the piece.
Stone Quality: If you are selecting an iced-out Cuban link, then go for hand-set stones with even spacing. Machine-set stones are never uniform, resulting in gaps and an irregular shine.
GOLDZENN Diamond Options: You can get Cuban link chains featuring Moissanite, Lab Diamonds, and Natural Diamonds. Moissanite makes for an affordable yet brilliant sparkle; lab diamonds create a look of eco-friendly luxury, and natural diamonds bring that element of timeless elegance to a creation. Each is carefully hand-set to achieve maximum brilliance.
