Moissanite & Iced Cuban Link Bracelets & Chains

A Miami Cuban is a chain of interlocking links that lie flat in a single plane instead of twisting, so it holds its face forward and reads as a band rather than a rope. That flat plane is also why the style takes stone-setting so well.

Ours run from 8 mm everyday widths up to a 20 mm statement chain, in three treatments: plain polished links, plain links with an iced lock, and fully pavé set edge to edge. Stones are moissanite on 925 sterling silver or cubic zirconia on a plated base — each product page states which. See also iced out.

About this collection

Miami Cuban link bracelets and chains, from Ontario

A Miami Cuban is a chain of interlocking links that lie flat in a single plane instead of twisting. On the wrist or the neck it behaves like a band, holding its face forward as it moves. That flat face is why the style takes stone-setting so well — and why it looks just as good plain. This collection covers both, from a fine 7.5 mm bracelet to a 20 mm chain built to be seen across a room.

The moissanite Cuban link bracelet

Our moissanite Miami Cuban link bracelet is fully set with VVS1 moissanite on rhodium-plated 925 sterling silver, in 8 mm and 10 mm widths and lengths from 6.5 to 8 inches. It is the piece in this collection built to be worn for years: solid silver under the plating, a gemstone that holds its polish, a box clasp with a safety catch, and a GRA certificate in the box. Fully iced Cuban bracelets in this grade from Canadian moissanite specialists routinely cost several times what ours does. Same construction, no showroom.

Iced and plain Cuban links in cubic zirconia and steel

The rest of the collection is cubic zirconia and stainless steel, and we say so plainly on every page. The 10 mm iced Cuban bracelet is set edge to edge in micro-pavé CZ. The halo station bracelet alternates pavé links with round halo settings. For people who want the sparkle in one place, the iced-lock bracelet and its matching gold-plated chain keep the links plain and polished and put the stones on the clasp. And for the neck, the fully iced chain and the 20 mm chain are the statement pieces.

Width, length and how a Cuban sits

On the wrist, 8 mm is the everyday width and layers with a watch; 10 mm is the one to wear alone. On the neck, 8 to 10 mm sits under a collar; 20 mm does not try to. For chain length, 20 inches sits at the base of the neck, 22 inches drops to the top of the chest — the usual choice over a t-shirt — and 24 inches sits lower, over a crew neck or with a pendant.

An iced Cuban has stones set across every link. An iced-lock Cuban has plain polished links and stones only on the box clasp, so the sparkle sits in one place. The iced-lock style layers better with other chains and reads as a plain Cuban from the back.

For a bracelet, 8 mm for everyday and layering with a watch, 10 mm to wear on its own. For a chain, 8 to 10 mm sits under a collar; 20 mm is a statement that does not.
