Choose the width by how you will wear it. A 2 mm Cuban is the fine chain for every day and carries a light pendant. A 2.6 mm shows by itself, and it was the gold width bought most here in the year. Then pick the length, since each gold chain comes in one length only. Take 14K for the richer yellow, and compare the grams, because the grams are the gold you get.
Width: 2 mm or 2.6 mm thin Cuban link chain for women
Take 2 mm for a fine chain you wear daily, alone or under a small charm. Take 2.6 mm when the chain should show on its own. Every chain here sits between 1.9 and 2.6 mm, the thin end of the Miami Cuban, with flat links pressed tight together. Among the gold chains, the 2.6 mm sold most in the year, close to six in ten. For 4 or 5 mm and up, see the Miami Cuban chains.
Length: what length Cuban chain a woman wears, 16 to 26 inches
Not sure of your inches? Go with 20 or 22. Among the gold chains, 22 inches went out most in the year, and 20 came next. Each gold listing is one chain at one length, so open the listing with your inches in its title. On most women 16 inches hugs the neck, 18 lands near the collarbone, and 24 or 26 falls onto the chest. The silver chain lets you pick 18 to 24 inches. A chain shortened for you is final, so settle the inches before you pay.
Karat: 14K or 10K gold Cuban chain for women, or silver
14K gives the deeper yellow, at 58.5 percent gold. 10K is 41.7 percent gold, a touch harder and paler, so it shrugs off daily knocks. Most chains here are 14K. Seven are 10K, and one is .925 silver. All the gold chains are yellow, and every gold title says solid. The 2 mm silver Cuban sold more pieces than any gold chain in the year, so start there if you want the look in silver. For 18K, white or rose, ask the live chat whether one can be made.
Grams: how much a thin women's Cuban chain weighs
A 14K chain at 2 mm lists 5.5 grams at 16 inches. At 24 inches it lists 8.8. The 14K chains at 2.6 mm run from under 9 grams at 16 inches up to 17 at 26. Two 14K chains of one width and one length can still list grams a few apart, so set them side by side and ask the live chat when one looks wrong. The silver chain prints one weight for all four lengths, so ask for the grams at yours.
Pendants and layering: can a thin Cuban chain hold a pendant
Yes, a light one. A 2 mm Cuban carries a small charm close to the neck, and a 2.6 mm takes a little more. Hang nothing heavier than the chain itself, and make sure the clasp slips through the pendant's loop. To layer, wear two chains about 2 inches apart in length. A Miami Cuban bracelet repeats the link at the wrist, and the women's gold chains guide covers the other links.
