12mm Lab-Grown Diamond Cuban Chain: The Perfect Balance of Luxury
The 12mm VVS lab-grown diamond Cuban chain combines poise and practicality: a wide, luminous link, genuine ethical diamonds, and a controlled price. The signature accessory that goes with everything.
VVS Lab-grown diamond: Real diamond, without the mining
Pure crystallized carbon, 10/10 hardness, fire identical to natural diamonds: lab-grown diamonds are diamonds in every sense of the word. Cultivated via CVD/HPHT, VVS clarity, D-F color, 100% traceable origin.
An elegant and fluid Cuban link
The 12mm Cuban weave offers a supple drape and a generous contour. The full pavé setting catches light along the entire length, for constant shimmer.

Which length and width should you choose?
Two measurements determine the look: the length in centimeters and the link width in millimeters. This page offers a single width of 12 mm and 5 actual lengths, from 40 cm to 60 cm.
Length, in centimeters
-
40 cm: sits at the base of the neck, choker effect.
-
45 cm: the versatile length, just below the collarbone.
-
50 cm: the men's standard, visible over a crew neck.
-
55 cm: falls below the shirt collar, ideal with a pendant.
-
60 cm: the street length, the link sits comfortably over a hoodie.
Checking is easy: lay a necklace you already wear flat and measure it. A query like men's silver chain 60 cm is searched constantly: it's the question that precedes every order. Our jewelry size guide provides the reference points.
Width, in millimeters
At 12 mm, you enter the category of the chunky men's silver chain: the link commands the chest and becomes the centerpiece of the outfit.
925 Silver or gold: which base material?
-
925 Silver: the most requested material in the men's department, to the point that men's 925 silver chain is a search in its own right. Cool white, it highlights the stones through contrast.
-
10K and 14K Gold: the intermediate tones, the everyday compromise.
-
18K Gold: the warmest tone, the one sought by buyers of men's 18-karat gold chain.
The metal is hallmarked and a certificate can be requested for gold versions, as indicated earlier on this page.
How to wear and layer it
The Cuban link is worn alone nine times out of ten: its weave is already a pattern. On a dark plain t-shirt, it stands out immediately.
Layering two lengths
The rule that always works: at least 5 cm of difference between two chains, and two different thicknesses. Two identical chains overlap and clutter the look. Keep to one family of tones: white with white, gold with gold.
Adding a pendant
A men's gold chain with a pendant requires one length step up, so the motif rests on the chest. Our pendants are designed to be attached to them.

Care: maintaining the stones' sparkle
A film of grease is enough to dull the fire of the stones.
- Put on jewelry last, after perfume and lotions have dried.
- Remove before showering, swimming, or exercising.
- Use a soft toothbrush and warm soapy water between the links, then wipe with a soft cloth.
- Store flat in its box, never loose against other jewelry.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a lab-grown diamond a real diamond?
Chemically, yes: crystallized carbon with the same hardness and fire, but cultivated rather than mined.
Can I give it as a gift without knowing the size?
Yes: if in doubt, the middle length on the list remains the safest choice.
Is it a unisex piece?
Yes: the 12mm width and lengths from 40 cm to 60 cm cover both uses.
