Cuban Link Bracelets: Styles, Prices and Sizing
How to size a Cuban link bracelet for your wrist, what solid gold gram weight really means, and which clasp and width to choose for daily wear.
A Cuban bracelet is a Cuban chain's sibling: the same round, tight links — handmade or machine-built — sized for the wrist. It's the most-worn piece of gold many people own, because a bracelet works with everything and never comes off. Here's how to choose one: sizing, karat, weight math, and clasps.
What Makes a Bracelet a Cuban
The links are what define it: rounded on top, flat on the bottom, laid tight with little daylight between them. A Cuban chain guide covers the full anatomy; the bracelet version uses identical links at wrist length, usually 7 to 9 inches, with a clasp built to take daily flexing.
Sizing: Wrist Plus One
Measure your wrist with a soft tape where the bone is, then add about one inch. That's your bracelet length:
- 6.5" wrist → 7.5" bracelet
- 7" wrist → 8" bracelet (most common men's size)
- 7.5" wrist → 8.5" bracelet
The bracelet should rotate freely but not slide over the wrist bone. For wide bracelets (16mm and up), add a little more room — the links themselves take up space inside the circle. Like our chains, Cuban bracelets are made to order, so exact wrist sizes aren't a problem — call (206) 250-0833 with your measurement.
The Gram Math: Bracelet vs Chain
A bracelet is a fraction of a chain's weight because the wrist is a fraction of the neck. Using the same solid handmade link weights per inch as our 14K Miami Cubans — and pricing at the same $160 per gram for 14K:
- 14K 15mm at 8 inches: ~149 grams — about $23,840
- 14K 16mm at 8 inches: ~184 grams — about $29,440
- 14K 20mm at 8 inches: ~221 grams — about $35,360
Compare that to a 20-inch 20mm chain at $88,320 and you can see why bracelet-plus-chain is the classic two-piece build: together they read as a matched set, and the bracelet is often the first big solid gold purchase. Every made-to-order piece from us ships with its exact gram weight, karat documentation, and appraisal on request — the policy we explain in buying gold by the gram.
