Measure at home in 2 minutes
You need a strip of paper (or a string or shoelace), a pen and a ruler.
- Take a string or a shoelace and mark on it the length you are considering, for example 22".
- Hold the two marks together at the back of your neck, wearing the kind of top you usually wear.
- Look in a mirror: the lowest point of the string is where the chain will sit.
- Too high or too low? Try 2" more or less: that is one size up or down.
Already own a chain you like? Lay it flat, clasp closed, and measure it end to end. A broad neck or chest makes every length sit a little higher.
No ruler? A bank card is 3.4" long: count how many fit along your strip.

Chain width
A slim Cuban link that sits high and close at the collar.
Atlas took the weight of the sky and stood straight under it. Carrying well is mostly about how you hold yourself, and this chain sits the same way: close and steady. A 3mm Cuban link in stainless steel, it follows the collarbone instead of swinging around. The flat links lie on the skin and catch light in short, even flashes. One length, 16 inches, in silver-tone or gold-tone.
- Does not rust: wear it in the water
- Slim 3mm Cuban links
- One length: 16 in (41cm)
Details & specs
The chain is stainless steel in the classic Cuban link pattern, where each flat link interlocks with the next. That construction gives it a smooth, continuous drape instead of a twisty one. Stainless steel does not rust, so showers, workouts and a swim in the sea are all part of daily wear.
At 3mm wide the links are slim enough to sit flat under a shirt and still hold their shape on the skin. The finish is electroplated for an even tone across the whole chain, in a polished silver-tone or a warm gold-tone. It comes as a chain alone, at one fixed length of 16 inches.
How to wear it
With a crewneck tee it sits just above the neckline, the easiest way to wear it. Under an open button-down it shows a few links at the collar, quiet enough for the office and a dinner out. Pair it with a steel watch in the same tone, or layer a longer chain below it for depth.
Choosing your size
This chain comes in one length, 16" (41cm), and two colors: silver-tone and gold-tone. Sixteen inches sits high on the neck, at or just above the collarbone, so it stays visible above a tee rather than hanging on the chest. If he has a broad neck or prefers a chain that drops toward the chest, this one will wear closer than expected.

Questions
Can the slim 3mm Cuban stay on for a swim in the sea?
Yes. Stainless steel does not rust, so showers, workouts and the sea are part of daily wear. Rinse it in fresh water afterward to keep the electroplated tone even.
Will 16 inches fit him?
16" sits high, at or just above the collarbone. It suits a slimmer neck and men who like a chain close to the collar. On a broad neck it will sit tighter than most chains.
How do I protect the finish?
Wipe it with a soft dry cloth after wear and store it flat. Put it on after perfume and keep harsh cleaners away from the plated finish.
Can I layer it with a longer chain?
Yes. It sits high on the neck, so add a second chain at 20 or 22 in below it for depth.
Silver-tone or gold-tone 3mm Cuban: how do I pick for a gift?
Match the tone to the metal he already wears, since there is only one length to choose. Both are electroplated finishes, even across the whole chain.
How does a 3mm Cuban compare with a 3mm rope chain?
The Cuban lies flat with a smooth, continuous drape. A rope chain twists and catches more small flashes of light.
Can I wear it with a pendant?
It sits at the base of the neck, so it is made to be worn plain.
Is 3mm too thin for a man?
No. The flat links hold their shape on the skin, giving a slim but defined line that sits flat under a shirt.
