Cubans

Cuban Link chains, also known as Miami Cuban Link Chains are very popular design that locks each link together with an interlocking pattern, giving it a sleek and polished appearance. It's pretty much a timeless chain that I believe will be worn forever and you can see that with how much celeberties, rappers and actors wear it. It is a premium chain with a lot of value and truly one of the best chains ever made.

Curbs

Curb chains are also a very popular design that locks each link together with an interlocking pattern only more spaced out than the Cuban Link, giving it a nice classy appearance. It is very popular with both men and women depending on the milimeters and it's one of the most veristle style of chain you could buy.

THE KEY DIFFERENCES

  • Cuban Link Chains tend to be consistantly heavier than Curb chains. Even at a smaller size, cubans tend to carry more weight compared to the Curb, due to the thicker and closer links.
  • Curbs tend to have further links. The main reason people usually confuse curbs and cubans is due to the similar style of links, though similar, on Curbs you will notice more spacing between the links.
  • Cubans are usually considered to be more "premium" due to the sheer cost to make them either with a machine or hand. Add the fact that Cubans have more grams of silver compared to Curb in a similar size and militemeter, and you get a chain that is typically more on the pricey side.

Final Verdict

Both styles of chains are very popular and tend to serve the same purpose when you are looking for a casual, sleek and versitle chain. Some may want the awesome weight of a Cuban Link Chain, others will want the amazing price per gram of a Curb Chain that serves the same purpose, it all depends on what you're looking for. Both on neck or wrist from a distance will give off the same look and style, so you can't go wrong with any style! You WIN either way!!!!
