What is the Cuban Link Chain?

When it comes to a Cuban Link Chain or Cuban Chain, have you ever wondered if it was produced or invented in Cuba? The answer is actually no. The jewelry itself isn’t really connected with Cuba at all. There are many ways to explain its origins, and here are three of them:

 ★ According to the first view, the Cuban Link Chain has existed since the 14th century, when people seemed to have worn a lot of gold jewelry to show their status and wealth. But with the passage of time, there’s no way to verify it now. However, this view still has some credibility, as many groups of people all over the world have a jewelry culture like this.

★ The second story is that in the 70s and 80s, the Cuban Link Chain was made famous by one of the earliest rappers, Felix Delgado, who wore this gold chain whenever he was on stage, and his stage name was “Cuban Link.” So, people named the chain after his stage name and called it the Cuban Link Chain.

★ In addition to Felix Delgado, another rapper, Kurtis Blow, was the first commercially successful rapper to wear several gold chains during his poster shoots, which left a lasting impression and later became a trend with the rise of hip-hop culture.

The Cuban Link Chain is closely related to the art of rap, no matter which way you look at it. But don’t get the wrong idea. Can you wear a Cuban Link Chain if you’re not a rapper? Of course! There are many different styles of Cuban Link Chains that can be worn for every occasion, whether you’re at a party, a family gathering, or just at your day-to-day job.
