Cuban Link Chain Silver ICED OUT (6mm, 8mm & 10mm) With Every Link Set Individually
Where a tennis chain has a single row of stones, here every Cuban link is set individually. Light therefore breaks per link rather than along a continuous line, and you get blocks of sparkle that travel with the movement of the chain. In silver tone the finish runs seamlessly into the VVS CZ stones, so the whole looks like one unbroken surface rather than separate stone and metal. The finish is applied in five layers of PVD. We explain exactly what the term means in what iced out means.

Why a Copper Alloy and Not Stainless Steel
On an iced out Cuban every link has to be set separately, with settings that follow the curve of the link. Copper can be worked more finely than stainless steel, so that setting closes tightly around each stone and almost no metal stays visible between them. On steel you do not get that density, which is why virtually every serious iced out piece is built on a copper base. Copper is also denser than hollow steel, which at 10mm is the difference between a chain that genuinely weighs and one that feels hollow.
Five Layers of PVD Over the Copper Base
The silver color is applied with PVD, physical vapor deposition: the material is bonded at molecular level inside a vacuum chamber rather than electroplated on top, and Carpe Ice applies it in five layers. That makes the finish noticeably harder and more scratch-resistant than an ordinary coating. In silver tone that matters even more: the links move against each other, and if the layer wore there the warmer copper undertone would show straight away. That is exactly what the PVD layer prevents. The alloy underneath is nickel-free.
6mm, 8mm or 10mm
The 6mm is the everyday version: iced out, but quiet enough to wear under a collar. The 8mm is our best-selling width and hits the point where the chain is clearly noticed without taking over. The 10mm is a statement and nothing else, with the heaviest links and the broadest field of stones. At 50 cm (20 in) the chain stays high, 55 cm (22 in) falls just below the collarbone and 60 cm (24 in) hangs on the chest.
The width also shifts which length you want: at 6mm our best-selling length is 50 cm (20 in), at 10mm it is 60 cm (24 in). A wider link stays higher on your chest instead of following its curve. We work out which combination suits you, width by width, in which length goes with an iced out Cuban.
Keeping It Sparkling
A copper alloy is more sensitive to moisture than steel, so this is a piece for going out rather than for the gym. Take the chain off before showering, swimming and training, apply fragrance and deodorant before you put it on, and store it dry in the box it came in. There is a layer on it, including on the silver-tone version, because that color is PVD over copper here; only the silver-tone pieces in bare steel have no layer and can stay on. Dust gathers between the links faster than on a smooth chain; lift it out with a dry, soft toothbrush. That is what dulls the sparkle first, not the stones themselves.
Styling
Silver-tone iced out is easier to combine than gold, because it matches the case and bracelet of almost any steel watch. If you want a set, the Cuban link bracelet in the same width and finish is the logical addition. If you wear a second chain alongside it, leave at least 10 cm difference in length so they do not catch on each other.
