Available in solid 22k gold, and sparkling diamonds as additional options, a Cuban link chain ensures that your bold style comes through in one glance, irrespective of its thickness. This chain is a popular celebrity style and a top rated accessory of the hip-hop rapper fashion movement that began from the 70's and 80's. You will find cuban link chains on prominent rappers like Future, Daddy Yankee, Jay Z and Lil Uzi Vert. Today no longer just men's favorite, you will find women picking Cuban link chains to layer their neckline and create the boss lady vibe. Available in hollow, glitzy and chunky high polished finishes, they are considered a status symbol just like owning a Rolls Royce, depending on how expensive selection you make. To complete your cuban link collection, also check out our cuban link bracelets for men.

Rope Chain

Rope chains are a more designer version of the regular wear chains collection. When choosing a 22k solid gold rope chain, you have to consider how you plan to wear it. Rope chains come in two different versions, which are heavy (solid) and hollow. A rope chain consists of several small links that wrap in a twisted pattern to resemble a rope. Due to its eye-catching twisting rope pattern, the rope chain reflects light amazingly well from all angles. Thus, the rope chain is one of the most lustrous types of unisex chains along with being rated the most popular and also durable styles of chains around the world. Thinner rope chains look wonderful with pendants and thicker rope chains will look best on their own, a statement piece to show off. Pair rope chains with a thinner chain when creating a layered pendant look. Quite interestingly, a standard 18-inch rope chain can subtly transform the appeal of a casual outfit and also accessorizes well with your urban-style white tee and jeans to the swagger-heavy suit and tie look. In terms of thickness, it ranges from 1.5mm up to a huge 30mm thick, another chain design that goes back to the old school 1980's rapper hip hop chain necklace styles. 


Recommended rope chain length for women: 16 inches when worn by itself, 18 inches when styled with a pendant.
Recommended rope chain length for men: 18-20 inches for routine work-leisure looks.
26"-30"- long thick rope chains are much loved by artists and public figures.
