History of the Cuban Link Chain

The history of the Cuban Link chain is shrouded in mystery. This iconic Cuban chain does not have a clearly documented origin, but its popularity exploded in the 1970s and 1980s.

The name suggests a connection to Cuba, but there is no concrete evidence that it originated on the island. Many experts believe that the Cuban chain originated in the Cuban neighborhood of Miami, Florida, from where it spread within Latin and hip-hop communities.

The unique style of the Cuban Link chain is characterized by interlocked, uniformly flat links lying atop one another.

The Cuban Link style is often associated with the Iced Out finish.

The difference between the two is that the Cuban Link refers to the gold chain itself, while the Iced Out finish refers to the setting of precious stones, usually diamonds.

The Cuban Link chain has been worn by artists such as Jay-Z, DJ Khaled and Rihanna and has become a highly coveted piece in international fashion.

Cuban Link Chain: The Most Famous Cuban Necklace in the World

The Cuban Link Chain is the world’s most famous Cuban necklace! These Cuban chains have become iconic, appreciated by both men and women.

Their main feature is the design of interconnected rectangular gold links, giving them a robust, braided rope-like appearance: the “Cuban link.”

What sets the Cuban chain apart is not only its unique and versatile style but also its remarkable durability.

Cuban chains come in various widths, from thin chains of 1.5–2 mm to larger, more imposing versions up to 24–25 mm. Regardless of width, a Cuban chain is designed to fit perfectly with different styles.

Depending on the model, Cuban Link chains in the Gioielli di Valenza collection have link widths ranging from 8 mm to 10.3 mm. In white gold and diamonds (diamond Cuban link chain), our Cuban chains are available in four lengths:

• 40 cm
• 42 cm
• 45 cm
• 50 cm

Cuban Bracelet: The Cuban Bracelet with Unique Shine

Cuban Link bracelets with diamonds are exclusive jewelry pieces, featuring classic interlocked links, enhanced with white or black diamonds that highlight their elegance and value.

Cuban bracelets with black diamonds create fascinating contrasts of light with different gold alloys. White gold emphasizes the mysterious intensity of black diamonds, offering a balance between modernity and mystery. Rose gold adds a sophisticated touch that softens the enigmatic character of the stone.

White diamond bracelets, on the other hand, find their classic expression when paired with white gold. With yellow gold, the bracelet gains warmth and radiance, while rose gold gives the Cuban Link bracelet a romantic and contemporary touch.

Cuban Link Rings: A Burst of Color

The hallmark of Cuban Link rings is the interlocked chain-like design.

In the Cuban Link collection, you’ll find luxurious rings with VS quality diamonds in white and rose gold. Black diamond Cuban rings offer a bold, modern touch, complemented by rings featuring blue and pink sapphire and rubies.

A burst of color: the Cuban link pattern highlights the combination of colorful gemstones in the gourmette style rings.
