Cuban Bracelet Collection
A Cuban link bracelet has the same flat link as the Cuban chain and sits close around the wrist. In 925 sterling silver, 18K gold plated, stainless steel or iced out, from 3 to 12 mm wide.
A Cuban link bracelet is the wrist version of the Cuban chain: flat, interlocking links that sit around your wrist like a closed band. Because it does not tilt, the shine stays continuous and it sits quietly.
The right size
Measure your wrist with a tape measure or a strip of paper, just below the wrist bone, and add 1.5 to 2 cm. With a wide Cuban bracelet it is better to err on the roomy side: too tight and it will press on your wrist bone.
Width and combining
Narrower models sit next to a watch without competing for attention. Wider models are a statement in themselves and are best worn on their own. If you want the bracelet and chain as a set, choose the same width and color.
Material and wear
A bracelet rubs against sleeves and tabletops, so wear matters more here than on a necklace. Silver-colored stainless steel is bare, polished steel: no coating that can wear through and no tarnish, so wiping it with a dry cloth is enough and the bracelet can stay on in the shower. The gold-colored steel models and the stone-set models on nickel-free copper alloy carry a five-layer PVD finish. It is harder than ordinary plating, but still a coating, so take those off before the shower and the gym. 925 sterling silver feels heavier and tarnishes slowly; a silver cloth removes that. Take every model off before swimming, because chlorine is harsher than shower water.
