The Cuban Choker

A Cuban chain sits close to the neck and catches light from every angle. Ours are made in solid 18K gold in our own Dubai atelier — plain, or set with a single natural diamond.

Worn alone it is quiet. Worn in two lengths it becomes the whole look.

The Chain

Weight you can feel, in solid 18K gold

A Cuban link is an oval that has been flattened and twisted so each link locks into the next. The chain lies flat against the skin instead of rolling onto its side — a continuous line of polished gold across the collarbone.

Ours are solid 18K gold throughout, hallmarked 750, in yellow, white or rose. Never plated, never hollow. Every stone is a natural diamond, bezel-set by hand so the setting sits flush with the chain. Each choker leaves the atelier with a Certificate of Authenticity and a 5-Year Warranty.

How to Choose

Three decisions, and that is all

Plain or set

A plain chain is the piece you never take off. One bezel-set diamond turns it into something you wear to be noticed.

The weight of the link

A heavier link makes the statement on its own. A finer link disappears under a collar and layers more easily.

The colour of the gold

Yellow is traditional and the warmest on most skin. White reads discreet. Rose sits between the two.

The Layered Look

Two chains, one signature

A heavier plain choker sits high on the neck; a finer chain with a single bezel-set diamond falls an inch below. Two weights of gold, read as one deliberate piece.

Contrast is what makes it work — two chains of the same weight look like an accident. Keep both in the same gold colour and let the diamond sit alone on the lower chain.

Made in Our Atelier

Nothing here was ordered from a catalogue

Every stage happens in our own Dubai workshop: links soldered by hand, bezels cut to the individual stone, chain polished and inspected before boxing. Nothing subcontracted.

Which matters most for length. Because we make the chain rather than buy it, a choker can be made to your measurement — and on a choker an inch decides whether it sits on the collarbone or above it. More about the atelier.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Cuban choker?

A choker-length necklace made from Cuban link chain — flattened, interlocked oval links that lie flat against the neck instead of twisting. Choker length means it sits on or just above the collarbone.

Is the chain solid gold or plated?

Solid 18K gold throughout, hallmarked 750. We do not sell plated, gold-filled or hollow chain.

Can I wear two Cuban chokers layered?

Yes — that is how the collection is designed. A heavier plain chain high on the neck, a finer diamond-set chain an inch below, both in the same gold colour.

Are the diamonds natural?

Yes. Every stone is a natural diamond, and its details are stated on the Certificate of Authenticity delivered with the piece.

Can the choker be made in my own length?

Yes. Message us before ordering and we will confirm the right length with you.

Which gold colour should I choose?

Yellow is traditional for a Cuban chain and the warmest on most skin tones; white reads more discreet; rose sits between the two. All three are the same 18K alloy strength.

How do I care for a solid gold chain?

Warm water, mild soap and a soft brush. Keep perfume and hairspray off the chain, and store it flat rather than coiled.

Do you ship worldwide?

Yes, with insured express delivery and full tracking. See our delivery and returns page.
