How do I find my cuban link chain size?

by Amy Momoye Marketing

When it comes to best size cuban link chain, besides the qualtiy, it is all about cuban link sizes.

When we see hip hop stars like Jay Z and reggaeton singers like Daddy Yankee wear big gold cuban chains in excess of 10 pounds, it is not surprising to see the fans are aiming high on the size scale as well

What size chain should a man wear?

If you answered "sort of big," "kind of small" or "umm ... I have no clue," then read on to forever solve this mystery.

Laie Jewelry is here to help make jewelry shopping a snap with the easiest explanation of how to find your best cuban link length and width.

Part I: How thick shoud my Cuban Chain be?

Let's start with width. Most Cuban chains range from 3mm to 19mm in width.

How big of a chain should we buy to look cool? It is a matter of personal taste and style.

To choose the right size, here are a few factors it may depends on.

For one, how bold of a statement are you looking to make? Some people prefer a thicker width or millimeter (MM) to command a room based on appearances alone. But keep in mind that with a thicker width comes a heavier weight (grams.)

Please choose 15mm pieces in width and above if you want to stand out and make the biggest statements.

But if you're one who appreciates the power of a chain but doesn't want it to distract from the rest of your look, then stick with smaller widths. We suggest you wear multiple, smaller chains than one large “kilo” chain.

If you are not familiar with what the width/mm, don't worry, below is a simple picture which illustrates what the width of the chains would look like as compared to the size of a quarter...

Parth II: How to choose the best length of cuban chain for you?

Though dangling chains from 80s and 90s come back into style every now and then, now chains just below the neck tend to be popular. In this case, we recommend shorter length chains for the time being.

For example, you can go for a cuban link with length between 18 and 22 inches, which will hang down between the bottom of your neck and the bottom of your chest.

This is a recommendation for those who still want to look fashionable. Anything shorter will start to look like a choker, and anything longer might look a bit dated for the current trends.

Check our easy-to-use sizing chart below:

To estimate your size, locate a piece of string and cut it to the desired length. Measure the string and select the closest chain length. Remember, the final length may be slightly longer as the chain length on our website does not include the pendant.

Q: What happens if I get the wrong size? Can I exchange it for another size?

A: If you need to change size, remember to mail us after you bought it within 24 hours, as long as the cuban link chain is not shipped, we could exchange.

Unfortunately, you won’t likely be able to exchange your cuban chain for another size if it is shipped already.

At last, just keep in mind that wearing cuban chains is a great way to make yourself stand out, but you'll want to make sure you're wearing properly to enhance your look instead of bringing it down.

The best way to do this is by knowing which types of chains are in style right now. Check our new arrivals here.
