Diamond Cuban Link Chains

Diamond Cuban Link Chains

Diamond Cuban link chains combine the iconic Cuban link chain silhouette with hand-set stones across every link for maximum shine. GLD's diamond Cuban chain collection features a range of iced-out styles, from classic diamond Cuban links with round-cut stones to Diamond Prong Link Chains with elevated, sharper settings that catch light from every angle. Each diamond Cuban link chain is available in yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold, with stone options including CZ, SI1 diamonds, and VS diamonds. Whether you're looking for a signature statement piece or an iced-out Cuban link chain to anchor your stack, this collection has you covered.

What sets a diamond Cuban chain apart from a standard Cuban? It's the stones. Where a classic Cuban link relies on the metalwork and weight of the links for its presence, a diamond Cuban adds a layer of brilliance with stones set into the face of each link. The result is a chain that reflects light with every movement, significantly more eye-catching than a polished Cuban, and designed to be a centerpiece rather than a supporting piece.

Styles of Diamond Cuban Link Chains

GLD offers several distinct diamond Cuban link chain styles, each with a different level of detail and visual impact:

The Diamond Cuban Link Chain (8.5mm–12mm) is the classic iced-out Cuban, round-cut stones set flush across the surface of each link for a uniform shine. This is the most traditional diamond Cuban silhouette, available in yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold.

Diamond Prong Link Chains (6mm–19mm) take the design further with elevated prong settings that lift each stone slightly off the link surface. This creates more depth, sharper angles, and a more architectural look. The Micro Diamond Prong Cuban (6mm) offers a slimmer version of this style for a more subtle iced-out look that still layers well with other chains like a micro Cuban.

Baguette Cuban Chains replace round-cut stones with rectangular baguette-cut stones for a modern, geometric aesthetic. The linear stone pattern gives these chains a distinctly different texture compared to traditional round-set diamond Cubans.

Choosing the Right Diamond Cuban

Width matters even more with diamond Cubans because wider links mean more stone surface area and more visible shine. A 6mm Micro Diamond Prong Cuban is a good entry point, iced enough to stand out but slim enough for everyday wear and layering. A 12mm Diamond Cuban or Diamond Prong Chain is a true statement piece, designed to wear solo and command attention. For the boldest look in the collection, the 19mm Diamond Prong Cuban is GLD's widest iced chain.

Stone quality also varies across the collection. CZ (cubic zirconia) stones deliver serious shine at an accessible price point and are the standard across most of GLD's diamond Cuban chains. For premium stone options, GLD offers SI1 and VS diamond grades through the GLD Premium collection, with VVS options available upon request.

Frequently Asked Questions About Diamond Cuban Link Chains

What are the stones in GLD's diamond Cuban link chains?

Most GLD diamond Cuban link chains feature CZ (cubic zirconia) stones, which deliver high-quality shine at an accessible price point. For higher-grade options, GLD also offers SI1 and VS diamond stones through the GLD Premium collection. VVS Cuban link chains are available upon request.

What's the difference between a Diamond Cuban and a Diamond Prong Cuban?

A Diamond Cuban Link Chain features stones set flush into the surface of each link. A Diamond Prong Link Chain uses elevated prong settings that lift each stone slightly, creating more depth, sharper angles, and more light reflection. The prong style has a more modern, architectural look compared to the smoother surface of a standard diamond Cuban.

What widths do diamond Cuban link chains come in?

GLD's diamond Cuban chains range from 6mm (Micro Diamond Prong Cuban) to 19mm (Diamond Prong Cuban). The most popular widths are 6mm, 8.5mm, and 12mm. Wider chains have more stone surface area and therefore more overall shine.

Can I wear a pendant with a diamond Cuban link chain?

You can, but diamond Cubans are typically designed to be statement pieces on their own. If you do want to add a pendant, a slimmer diamond Cuban like the 6mm Micro Diamond Prong works best. Thicker iced chains (12mm+) are heavy and detailed enough that they're best worn solo.

Are diamond Cuban link chains covered by GLD's Lifetime Guarantee?

Yes. Every diamond Cuban link chain from GLD is backed by our Lifetime Guarantee. If you experience any defects in craftsmanship or stone setting under normal wear, GLD will repair or replace the chain. All orders include fast free shipping.
