{"product_id":"gold-plated-miami-cuban-link-chain","title":"18K Iced Lock Gold Plated Miami Cuban Link Chain – Stainless Steel","description":"\u003cp\u003eA Miami Cuban link chain in stainless steel with 18K gold plating, closed with an iced lock: a box clasp with its face set in pavé cubic zirconia. The links themselves carry no stones, so the sparkle lands in one place and everything around it stays clean polished metal. It comes in two widths and three lengths, and the price follows the width you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePlain links, and the lock that carries the stones\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA Miami Cuban is a chain of interlocking links that lie flat in a single plane rather than twisting as they move. Worn on the neck it behaves less like a rope and more like a band, holding its face forward instead of rolling over. The links here are smooth, high-polished and domed, with a completely plain unset surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe lock is the exception. It is a box clasp shaped to the profile of the chain, and its whole face is pavé-set with small round cubic zirconia — rows of stones running right across the box and continuing along the fold-over safety latches on each side. A plain polished push-button sits at the centre, grooved for grip, so there is one piece of clean metal at the middle of all that texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat arrangement is the point of the piece. Turned to the back, the lock disappears and you are wearing a plain gold Cuban chain. Turned to the front, it becomes the feature — a single concentrated flash against an otherwise unbroken run of polished links.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChoosing a width and a length\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 8 mm is the everyday width. It has real presence but still sits under a collar, layers with other chains and works with a shirt. The 10 mm is the statement version, with more surface catching light and more weight to it, and it is the one to wear on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 20 inches the chain sits at the base of the neck, close to the collarbone. At 22 inches it drops to the top of the chest, which is the most common choice for a Cuban chain worn over a t-shirt. At 24 inches it sits lower again, over a crew neckline or with a pendant. Every length within a width is offered at the same price.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStyling and what it pairs with\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause the links are unset, this chain does something a fully iced one cannot: it layers. Run the 8 mm above a longer plain chain or a pendant and the polished gold gives the eye somewhere to rest between the pieces. The 10 mm is better given room of its own, with the lock worn forward.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStainless steel under the plating is what makes it easy to live in. It is light for its size, it handles water and daily wear without fuss, and it keeps its polish with almost no effort. The warm gold tone pairs with yellow-gold rings and watches, and it suits men and women equally. Worn with the matching iced-lock Cuban bracelet it reads as one idea rather than a matched set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the stones\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stones on the lock are cubic zirconia, cut as round brilliants and selected for a colourless white grade rather than the grey cast of cheaper stone. Cubic zirconia scores 8 to 8.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, hard enough to hold a crisp polish through everyday wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt disperses light more strongly than diamond does, roughly 0.060 against diamond's 0.044, which is why a well-cut cubic zirconia throws bright flashes of colour. On a clasp this size that fire is concentrated into one small area, which is exactly what makes it read.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eStainless steel takes daily wear in its stride. It stays bright through showers, workouts and weather, and a soft cloth brings the polish straight back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStore your jewellery dry and away from perfume and household cleaners, and take a little more care around the pavé on the lock, where a soft brush lifts anything caught between the stones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe ship from Canada to addresses in Canada and the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aqua Gold Jewelry","offers":[{"title":"8 mm \/ 20 Inches","offer_id":52751068627173,"sku":"AGJ-CN-GOLD-01","price":79.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 mm \/ 22 Inches","offer_id":52751069151461,"sku":"AGJ-CN-GOLD-02","price":79.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 mm \/ 24 Inches","offer_id":52751069184229,"sku":"AGJ-CN-GOLD-03","price":79.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 mm \/ 20 Inches","offer_id":52751069216997,"sku":"AGJ-CN-GOLD-04","price":94.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 mm \/ 22 Inches","offer_id":52751069249765,"sku":"AGJ-CN-GOLD-05","price":94.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 mm \/ 24 Inches","offer_id":52751069282533,"sku":"AGJ-CN-GOLD-06","price":94.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/4043\/3893\/files\/02_worn_angle.jpg?v=1788990900","url":"https:\/\/aquagoldjewellery.shop\/products\/gold-plated-miami-cuban-link-chain","provider":"Aqua Gold Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
