Description
The Death Chain Cuban Link Chain is a 5mm Cuban curb necklace: flat, interlocking oval links polished to a mirror, on a solid 316L stainless steel core with an 18K gold PVD finish. The Cuban is the flagship of men's gold. It sits heavy against the collar, reads clean against a plain tee, and nobody mistakes it for anything else. The links are packed so tight the chain moves like a single gold band. The gold is vapor-deposited for daily wear, and the solid steel underneath resists kinks and stretching. It closes with a box clasp, finished in the same gold, and ships in a Death Chain box.

What it’s made of
Polished, not faceted. Cuban is a geometry chain: flat links interlocked so tight the whole piece reads as one continuous gold band.
The core is solid 316L stainless steel, a low-carbon, corrosion-resistant grade. The finish is 18K gold, applied by PVD in a vacuum chamber, not electroplated in a tank.

Care
Rinse it after the gym. Off in the pool. Warm water, mild soap, soft microfiber. Store it in its box, away from your other pieces.
Questions
Is it real gold?
No, it isn't solid gold. The finish is 18K gold, 0.1 micron thick, applied by PVD over a solid 316L stainless steel core: the gold is the finish, the steel is what makes it strong. That's how a 5mm cuban chain costs $140 instead of thousands.
Will it fade or tarnish?
Gold PVD is a dense, vacuum-deposited finish made for daily wear; rinse it after the gym. Chlorine, salt water with sand, and polishing compounds wear down any finish over time, so take it off for the pool and the beach.
Can I shower or swim in it?
A quick rinse won’t hurt it. Take it off for long showers, hot tubs and pools: soap builds up between the links and chlorine is hard on any finish.
What if the length is wrong?
Send it back within 30 days, unworn and in the box, and we’ll exchange it or refund you. Return shipping is on us.
