Types of Gold Chains: Every Link Style - Seattle Gold Grills

Cuban, Franco, rope, Figaro, box, curb, snake, wheat and herringbone gold chain styles explained, plus how to pick the right one for you.

The Complete List of Gold Chain Styles

Every gold chain style is on this page, with a plain-English description of what it looks like, who it suits, and where to shop that exact style. If you've ever stood in front of a jewelry case wondering what to call the chain you like, this is your cheat sheet.

Miami Cuban Link

The undisputed king. Flattened oval links interlocked so tight the chain lies flat and reads solid from every angle. If you're starting a collection, start here, and read our complete Cuban link buying guide first. Shop Miami Cuban link chains, solid gold Cubans, or the lighter semi-solid Cuban chains. Budget tiers: 10K Cuban chains and lightweight Cubans.

Franco and Franco Wheat

The Franco uses V-shaped links in a tight brick pattern: stiff, sleek, and it never rolls on your neck. The wheat version braids that pattern into a rounded, rope-like body. We compare the two head to head in Franco vs Cuban link. Shop gold Franco chains, diamond cut round Franco chains, white gold Franco wheat and silver Franco wheat chains.

Rope

Twisted spiral links that catch light from every angle. The strongest chain construction there is, and the best pendant carrier. Full breakdown in our gold rope chain guide. Shop gold rope chains, handmade diamond cut ropes and silver rope chains.

Figaro

Two or three short links followed by one long one, repeating. Italian in origin, and instantly recognizable. The gold Figaro chain is the classic; the flat Figaro and concave Figaro
