AAHBC201024 Cuban Link Chain Bracelet
MADE-TO-ORDER ITEM. I hand make this item to order. Please allow up to a week for me to make and ship your product, plus shipping time.
Cuban link chains are a bold and iconic style, featuring interlocking round or oval links that form a rope-like pattern and typically lie quite flat. They are popular for heavier statement pieces. I've handcrafted this striking sterling silver bracelet with 10-12mm wide links, fineal ends and an attractive and functional handmade parrot clasp.
Sizing:
- The indicated length is the approximate TOTAL length of the chain, including clasp, end-caps and connecting rings. Length may vary from the indicated measurement by +/- 0.5cm;
- If you currently have a chain bracelet, you can measure that (including clasps etc.) and choose your size accordingly;
- Alternatively, please measure your wrist using a flexible tape or thin strip of paper, and...
- (!IMPORTANT!) Select a chain which is 1.5-2.5cm larger than the circumference of your wrist.

METAL COMPOSITION/ METAL ALLERGIES
The metals used in jewellery making (including Sterling silver - which I typically use) are alloys (mixes of different metals), and the composition is variable, not always known, and not necessarily what you would assume it to be.
Sterling silver (a highly prized metal for high quality jewellery) is an alloy of (at least) 92.5% fine silver and a small amount of other metals (usually copper, but possibly other metals). Sterling silver is less likely to trigger allergies than many jewellery metals, and I source my Sterling silver for NEW pieces from leading, reputable Australian refiners/ suppliers. I cannot, however, guarantee the precise composition of the alloy.
With vintage jewellery, or jewellery made from vintage components, the base metals may not be definitively known and the alloying metals cannot be established. Some of these pieces were originally forged well over 100 years ago! Whilst I only work with vintage items that I have strong reason to believe to be Sterling silver, any suggestion that I provide as to the metal used in a listed product comes from indicators such as hallmarks and should be treated as a "best guess" only.
Some people do suffer allergies to particular metals (nickel is one of the more common allergens, but not the only one). If you suffer metal allergies I advise that you DO NOT purchase vintage/ upcycled jewellery products and that you speak with your dermatologist/ health care professional and only purchase the specialty products recommended by them.
