If you're buying a chain for someone else, here's everything you need to know about this one. This Cuban chain is 3mm wide. Cuban links interlock and are pressed flat, so the chain lies close against the skin. It's made from 316L stainless steel. We cut it to the length you order in our UK workshop and finish it by hand.

It's non tarnish and water resistant, and 316L stainless steel is hypoallergenic for most users. It fastens with a lobster clasp, which we fit ourselves.

It comes in lengths from 16" (41cm) to 26" (66cm) in 2" steps, with an optional 4" (10cm) extender chain. Hold a tape measure round your neck where you'd like it to sit, and read off the length before you choose. Once it's on, the only reason to take it off is because you want to.
