{"product_id":"iced-cuban-link-chain-22mm-flip-clasp","title":"22 mm Iced Cuban Link Chain – Curved Flip Clasp","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 22 mm Miami Cuban link chain, fully micro-pavé set in cubic zirconia and finished in a bright white plating, closed with a curved flip-buckle clasp shaped to follow the line of the links. It comes in one length, at 22 inches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe flip-buckle clasp\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe closure is what sets this chain apart. Instead of a straight box clasp, it uses a hinged buckle that folds over and locks flat, and the buckle is curved to match the arc of the links on either side of it. Its face is pavé-set in the same pattern as the chain, so from the front the clasp reads as part of the chain rather than a break in it. Worn at the front it is a deliberate centrepiece; worn at the back it disappears.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA flip buckle also handles weight well. It closes with a positive snap and holds along its whole length rather than at a single tongue, which is what you want on a chain this size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat 22 mm actually looks like\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMost Cuban chains sit between 8 and 12 mm. At 22 mm this one sits on the collarbone as a broad band, wide enough for each link to read on its own from across a room. The links are rounded and domed, uniform from end to end, and every one is covered in tidy rows of small stones set flush into the metal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause a Miami Cuban lies flat in a single plane, the link faces stay pointed forward as the chain moves, which is what keeps a piece this wide firing along its whole length. At 22 inches it sits at the top of the chest with room for the links to lie flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eStyling and when to wear it\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 22 mm iced chain is a single-piece statement. It does not layer and it does not want company at the neck. Give it a plain crew neck or an open collar and let the width do the work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe bright white finish holds the same register as steel and white-gold, so a watch or a ring in a cool tone ties in naturally. It suits men and women, and it photographs exceptionally well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAbout the stones\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stones 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 that catch the eye from across a room. That fire is what makes an iced piece read from a distance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe plating gives a bright surface that resists tarnishing and keeps its shine with very little effort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStore your jewellery dry and away from perfume and household cleaners, and a soft polishing cloth will bring the finish straight back. Slipping pieces off before you swim keeps them looking their best.\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":"22 Inches","offer_id":52918426435813,"sku":"AGJ-CN-FLIP-01","price":279.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/4043\/3893\/files\/18_worn_thumbnail_model.jpg?v=1790008812","url":"https:\/\/aquagoldjewellery.shop\/products\/iced-cuban-link-chain-22mm-flip-clasp","provider":"Aqua Gold Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
