Gold Cuban Chain: Weight, Today's Rate & Resale Value

A gold Cuban chain (also called Cuban link) features flat, interlocked oval links – a popular style among men, often associated with hip-hop fashion but worn across India for its bold visual. Cuban chains are typically heavy (12g–50g+) and make a statement piece.

At resale, only gold weight and purity determine cash value.

What to Watch For

·       Stones or lac weighed with gold – insist on removal before weighing

·       Visual purity check instead of XRF – always request machine testing

·       No written receipt – a signed receipt is a legal requirement

·       Making charge deductions at resale – these do not apply
