1. The Cuban Chain
Without a doubt, the best. It is the most common type of chain throughout the world. It comes from the citizens of Cuba who started using it in Miami. They became jewels of hip-hop culture in the late 1970s and mid-1980s. One of its advantages is that there are many variants to choose from: either by thickness, size, color or stones.

This, also known as Cadena de Cuerda or Rope Chain in English, is the most chosen by people who are not looking for very flashy chains, simply a chain to complete their daily outfit. It is also one of the most popular chains in the world. They are oval links that come together to produce a woven cord or rope pattern with a spiral effect.
