Miami Cuban

A Miami Cuban is a type of jewelry chain characterized by thick, flat, and tightly interlocked links.

It has a dense, substantial feel and a sleek, luxurious appearance that is distinct from a traditional Cuban link chain due to its more uniform and closely spaced links.

The style is rooted in Cuban-American culture in Miami and is popular in hip-hop fashion.

 

  • Design: Miami Cuban links are rounder and more closely interlocked, creating a compact and flat surface. This tight construction makes the chain more durable and gives it a heavier, more polished look.
  • Origin: The style is associated with Miami's Cuban community and gained popularity through hip-hop culture in the late 20th century.
  • Materials: These chains are commonly made from precious metals like gold (in various karats, such as 10k, 14k, or 18k) and silver, though they can also be found in stainless steel.
  • Appearance: The close spacing and flat links give it a substantial and luxurious appearance that lies smoothly on the skin, unlike the more varied or rounded links of a traditional Cuban link chain.
