Cuban link bracelet, the chain, sized to the wrist
A flat Cuban link in solid 316L steel, from a wearable 5 mm to a heavy 12 mm. Because a bracelet takes far more knocks than a chain, we solder every link closed and size the clasp to the load.
Overview
About this cuban link bracelet
A bracelet is a chain that lives where it gets hit. It knocks against a desk, a watch and a door frame all day, so the construction matters more than it does on a necklace: every link is soldered closed, and the clasp is rated for the weight of the piece, not chosen because it was the cheapest in the drawer.
Width is the whole specification for the customer and most of the cost for you, the same as the chain version. If the bracelet is bought to match a Cuban chain, tell us and we will match the link style and the finish so the two read as a set rather than two similar pieces.

Where this piece earns its keep
Men's collections
The companion SKU to the Cuban chain, often bought as a pair.
Gift price points
A lighter 5 mm build opens the range; a 12 mm build is the gift piece.
Layered with a watch
Worn on the opposite wrist to a watch, a mid width layers cleanly without crowding.
Sizing
Sizes and how we set them
Wrist measurement is a market decision, and steel bracelets cannot be resized after casting, so it is worth getting right. Tell us the wrist sizes you sell to and we will set the length run; a 1 cm step covers most adults, and an extension link is a cheap way to widen the fit of a single length.
| Dimension | Guidance |
|---|---|
| 16–18 cm | Smaller wrists; usually paired with a 5–6 mm link |
| 19–20 cm | The volume men's range; 8 mm link reads as substantial at this length |
| 21–22 cm | Larger wrists; a 10–12 mm link balances the length |
| Add-on | Extra links or a 1 cm extension widens the fit without a second SKU |

FAQ
Questions about this cuban link bracelet
Will it survive being worn every day?
That is what the build is for. Every link is soldered closed, not merely pressed, because an open link is what fails first on a bracelet, and the clasp is rated for the weight of the piece. The steel itself does not tarnish or rust, so the only part that ages is a coating if you order one. For a piece worn daily, we usually recommend bare steel or a PVD finish, which is harder than electroplate.
Can the bracelet be resized after casting?
Not after the fact, which is why getting the length run right up front matters. Steel is machined and soldered, not stretched, so a finished bracelet cannot be made larger or smaller the way a silver band can. If your customers span a wide range of wrist sizes, the practical answer is two lengths or a small extension link rather than one compromise size.
Does it match the Cuban chain as a set?
Yes, if you order them together and tell us they are a pair. We use the same link style, the same finish and the same clasp family, so the bracelet and chain read as a set rather than two similar pieces. A matched pair is also easier to merchandise: one photograph sells both, and the pair can be boxed together as a gift.
