Measure at home in 2 minutes
You need a strip of paper (or a string or shoelace), a pen and a ruler.
- Take a string or a shoelace and mark on it the length you are considering, for example 56 cm.
- Hold the two marks together at the back of your neck, wearing the kind of top you usually wear.
- Look in a mirror: the lowest point of the string is where the chain will sit.
- Too high or too low? Try 5 cm more or less: that is one size up or down.
Already own a chain you like? Lay it flat, clasp closed, and measure it end to end. A broad neck or chest makes every length sit a little higher.
No ruler? A bank card is 8.6 cm long: count how many fit along your strip.

Chain width
Mirror-polished Cuban links, 6mm for every day or 8mm for more.
Atlas held the world at arm's length so everyone else could live in it. Your load sits closer, and so does this chain. A stainless steel Cuban link, tightly interlocked so it lies flat and follows the collarbone, with each link face polished to a mirror shine. Pick 6mm for a clean everyday line or 8mm for more weight, in gold-tone or silver-tone, in eight lengths from 16 to 30 in.

Details & specs
Made from stainless steel, which holds up to daily wear and resists rust and corrosion, so it can stay on for the shower, the gym and the beach. The Cuban links interlock tightly, which keeps the chain flat on the skin and gives it a dense, even texture from the clasp all the way to the back of the neck.
Each link face is polished to a mirror finish that gives the chain its steady shine. The color is an electroplated finish, gold-tone or silver-tone, and we say so up front. Choose 6mm for a clean line that sits easily under a shirt, or 8mm for more weight and a chain people notice from across a room.
How to wear it
With a plain white tee and denim, a 20 or 22 in chain sits just below the collarbone and carries the outfit. Under an open collar it shows one or two links and stays quiet enough for the office or dinner. Pair gold-tone with a gold-tone watch or rings; keep silver-tone with steel for a cooler, sharper look.
Choosing your size
Lengths are 16 in (40cm), 18 in (45cm), 20 in (50cm), 22 in (55cm), 24 in (60cm), 26 in (65cm), 28 in (70cm) and 30 in (75cm). For most men 20 in sits at the collarbone, 22 in just below it and 24 in on the upper chest, visible over a tee. Choose 18 in for a close, high fit, and size up one length if he is broad through the neck or chest.
Why this piece
Steel that handles the day
Stainless steel resists rust and corrosion, so sweat, showers and daily handling are no reason to take it off.
Two widths, two moods
6mm reads understated and works under a shirt. 8mm adds visible weight and stands alone over a tee.
A gift for the man who carries everything
For a partner, a son or the friend who never lets anyone down. Choose the color he already wears and 20 or 22 in if you are unsure; you have 30 days to return it.

Questions
Can the mirror-polished Cuban stay on for the shower and the beach?
Yes. Stainless steel resists rust and corrosion, so water and training are part of its normal day. Rinse off salt water and dry the links to keep the mirror polish bright.
How do I keep the gold-tone looking good?
The color comes from electroplating, so treat it with a little care: wipe it with a soft dry cloth and keep perfume, cologne and cleaning products away from it.
6mm or 8mm?
6mm is the everyday width, easy under a shirt and next to a watch. 8mm is heavier and more visible, made to be worn over a tee as the main piece.
Why is the Cuban chain so popular?
Its tightly interlocked links lie flat, look dense and hold a steady shine, so it reads strong without any pendant.
Is the silver-tone mirror-polished Cuban plated like the gold-tone?
Yes. Both the gold-tone and the silver-tone are electroplated finishes over stainless steel, with every link face polished to a mirror.
Who is the 16 in length for?
A man who wants a close, high fit at the base of the neck, or a short top chain in a layered look.
What are 28 and 30 in for?
A long, relaxed drop below the chest, or the lower chain when layering two Cubans.
Does a mirror polish show scratches?
It shows fine marks more than a brushed finish, as any polished metal does. A soft cloth keeps it bright.
