The Tiniest Pure 24K Gold Cuban Link We've EVER Made!

This is the first 24K Cuban link chain we've ever made AND the smallest too! Oh, and it was also such a pain to finish, that we probably won't make another one ever again LOL!

You can also use our calculator (link below) to configure your perfect gold chain.

This particular chain was made from an assortment of pure gold bars, including five 1-oz bars, two 10-gram bars, and one 50-gram bar. There was 1-oz bar that we had already flattened out for another project to engrave a QR code on it. All in all, the gold bars added up to 225.2 grams of gold, but by the end of the video, after the extra gold weight was filed off, the final chain weighed 105.5 grams and was 6.5 mm wide.

Making gold Cuban chains by hand take a lot of time, work and dedication, but at the end of the day, the quality of the end product is much better than that of machine made chains, as you'll see on the video.

Here are the main steps to making the chain:

00:00 Pure gold bars used to make the chain.
00:14 Melting gold with torch and pouring into ingot mold to make bar.
00:59 Stretching gold bar with rolling mill to form wire of proper gauge (includes annealing).
02:17 Forming and cutting the links for the Cuban link chain.
04:26 Connecting and soldering the solid gold links.
05:30 Twisting chain to flatten and align the links.
06:43 Gluing chain with Shellac glue to board, then filing down to give the chain the characteristic flattened look of a Miami Cuban link.
8:22 Polishing the chain, welding the two end links together, and applying finishing touches.
10:15 Final chain weigh in.
10:22 Betty gets to try on the finished chain. How does she look?!

Best therapy at home for depressed people is watching this beauty making, hope I own someday one.

I love watching the Cuban link chain creation process. It's a true art to me and the craftsmanship in this video is amazing. 22k/18k Micro Cuban links might be the new trend, especially those that like to subtle flex. Much easier for every day wear and to travel with. Never say never about creating another one. Y'all might've created a new market for ladies who don't want all that weight on their neck with a 8mm or bigger but want to rock one daily. Heck, I'm interested in one for my son now, instead of ordering something similar to rose gold cross. Love it!

I didn't know 30mg oxys go in to a Cuban chain no wonder they are so expensive.

[johnweaver]

The smaller they get the more difficult they are to make but you guys made that look easy!

[beerdedtraveler]

Never realised how much work went into making a chain, a complete art work, amazing process,

[Chefsnag]

I love how their smallest ever Cuban link is what most people normally make. Don’t get my wrong that is very hard to make and they make it look easy but this just goes to show you how large they normally go when making these Cuban links. I only work with silver right now but would love to make a 24k Cuban link. That is a beautiful chain

I thought you guys only went up to 18k for your Cuban link chains, but I’m glad to see I can get a custom 24k piece down. Another reason to make CRM my one and only.
