Origin, history, and rise in popularity of the Cuban chain

Cuban link chain blog

The Cuban link chain, also known as Miami Cuban Links, is one of the most popular and sought-after chains in men's jewelry. Never out of fashion and always at the top of the hip-hop jewelry hierarchy, the Cuban link chain is definitely here to stay.

What is a Cuban link chain?

The Cuban link chain is similar in style to a rope chain and is made up of single links arranged in a twisted pattern to give them a thicker appearance. With links slightly thicker than any other chain on the market, the Cuban link chain is undoubtedly the best chain in terms of durability. Chains are also available in a variety of colors and metals: gold, platinum, white gold, yellow gold, sterling silver, platinum, and can even be encrusted with diamonds.

A brief history

Little is known about the origins of the Cuban chain. However, the general public dates the emergence of the Cuban link chain to the 1970s, also known as the birth of hip-hop culture. While the exact origins of this popular chain remain unknown despite claims from various hip-hop figures, one thing is certain: Cuban chains have steadily grown in popularity, rising to the top of the fashion scene over the decades.

How to Wear and Show Off a Cuban Link Chain

Occasional wear

Looking for a chain to complement your casual, everyday look? Cuban links pair well with casual outfits. If you're a jeans-and-t-shirt kind of girl, a Cuban link chain will work just fine. For a dressier look, wear a Cuban link chain with Bermuda shorts, a shirt, and your favorite loafers! Style tip: If you're wearing casual clothes, opt for a shorter chain—one that sits just below your collarbone should do the trick!
