A curb chain is made of uniform links that lie flat and interlock in one plane, which gives it a clean, bold, modern line. Superior Silver curb chains run heavy, from 8.8mm up to a statement 15mm, in solid 925 sterling silver, starting around $69.
What a curb chain is
A curb chain uses identical oval links that are twisted and often flattened so they lie flush against each other and against the skin. The result is a flat, uniform surface with a strong, architectural look. It is a favorite for bold solo wear and for carrying heavier pendants, since the flat link keeps a pendant sitting straight.
Choosing a width
The curb chains here are built for presence. Even the smallest is substantial, and the widest reads as a true statement piece. Pick the width by how bold you want the look and how heavy your pendant is: a wider curb both looks bigger and better supports a large iced pendant.
Curb compared to Cuban and Figaro
A Miami Cuban link is a curb chain taken heavier and more rounded, with a domed, luxury feel. A Figaro chain alternates one long link with a few short curb links for a patterned look. A plain curb keeps every link the same size for the cleanest, most uniform line.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a curb chain and a Cuban link?
A Miami Cuban link is a heavier, more rounded version of a curb chain, with thicker, domed links for a luxury look. A standard curb chain is flatter and lighter while keeping the same uniform link pattern.
Do curb chains hold pendants well?
Yes. The flat, uniform links keep a pendant sitting straight and support weight well, which is why curb and Cuban chains are popular for larger pendants.
Are these curb chains solid silver?
Yes. They are solid 925 sterling silver, not plated. Wider widths carry real weight, which is part of the bold look.
