The Miami Cuban is the signature statement chain, with flat, tightly interlocked links and serious presence. Superior Silver's are made in solid 925 sterling silver, in widths from a wearable 3.5mm up to a bold 12mm, with box-lock, frosted, black and gold-plated finishes. Prices range from about $27 for a slim everyday link to over $1,400 for a heavy statement piece.
How to choose a Miami Cuban chain
Width sets the whole look. A 3.5 to 5mm Cuban is your everyday option, clearly there but still easy to wear daily and to layer. 6 to 8mm steps into statement territory with real weight and shine, and 9mm and up is a full flex piece. Because it's solid silver sold by weight, width is also what drives the price.
Then choose the clasp and finish. A box-lock clasp sits flush and secure, which adds to the seamless iced-out look, while a standard lobster clasp is lighter and easy to use. Frosted and diamond-cut finishes catch more light, and black and gold-plated options change the color over the sterling core.
Last, think about length and care. 20 to 22 inches is the common everyday length, and you can go 24 inches or longer for a lower drape or to pair with a pendant. Sterling can tarnish over time, but a polishing cloth brings the shine right back. See the full range in all chains, or set one off with a pendant.
Miami Cuban FAQs
What width Miami Cuban should I get?
3.5 to 5mm is the everyday sweet spot, visible but easy to wear and layer. 6 to 8mm is a clear statement, and 9mm and up is a bold flex piece.
What is a box-lock clasp?
A box-lock is an integrated clasp that snaps flush into the links, so the chain looks seamless all the way around and locks securely. It's the premium closure for a Cuban chain.
Are these solid silver?
Yes. They're solid 925 sterling silver. Black and gold-plated versions add a finish over that solid silver core, and each product title tells you which.
Will a Cuban chain hold a pendant?
Yes. A Cuban's flat, sturdy links carry a pendant well. For heavier pendants, choose 5mm or wider so the chain balances the weight.
