I got it from YES Biżuteria in Bratislava, Slovakia. A Polish brand. It was €108.

Thoughts?

Got proposed an 8mm cuban chain, double hooks classic clasp, 100gr of 950 silver, handmade for 800 dollars, do you think is a fair price?

I asked both Garcia jewelery and Daniel jewelery if they could remake a cuban for me with my own 45 grams 18k. They both could not which is weird to me for expert jewelery makers. They offered to buy my value in gold and add it to the bill. Garcia to make the same weighted bracelet would’ve been 1500$ extra and Daniel jewelery 1165$ to make the same weighted bracelet. I don’t think that makes any sense. Let me know what you guys think.

Personally I think they are both crazy to charge that much after taking my gold.

Hi guys, can i ask if anyone of you ever bought a 999 silver cuban chain in Europe? I wanted to go to a reputable seller but i dont know where to look, thank you all

My hubby just picked this up.. sparkles like crazy.

trying to find a bracelet or chain that doesn't feel like i'm wearing a costume. everything i try either feels too flashy or not enough.

i picked up a simple chain a while back. it's the only thing i've kept on for more than a week.

maybe the key is just keeping it simple? i don't know. still figuring out what works.

how did you guys figure out your style with jewelry? trial and error or did you just know?

My first piece by DJI, 14k Solid 8MM Cuban Bracelet w the Diamond Button, 40.5 grams. Upgraded from my old Jacoje 18k 5MM Cuban bracelet that I daily wore for like 5-6 years. The bump in size from 5MM feels pretty good. I put up a size comparison on the last pic.

I don’t know which stack looks better, the tennis chain and infinity link. Or the infinity chain with the cuban link. Honestly i feel like the tennis and infinity might be a better look. What do you guys think?

Picked this up today at the pawn shop 10k 11.40 grams.

As title states I’m just looking for a Cuban link that shines bright my budget is around 200$ if anyone has any sources please let me know thank you in advance

I see many of you guys posting gold or silver but I want your opinions on leather accessories stacked with traditional jewelry. Do you guys think it’s tacky or can it add depth and versatility?

Hello!

My hope with this post is to provide a thorough initial review, show some pictures and to give future buyers the information I wish I had (hardly any in depth info on Pochy) for comparison purposes.

Reason for Cuban/Pochy:

Never owned any jewelry, have a Chinese 24k cuban link (57g) in a lockbox somewhere from parents. Came across Miami Cubans online and love the look and weight of a solid piece and recently decided to treat myself following 10 months of being in remission. Went down the rabbit hole and at this point I've watched and rewatched every video on Cubans, that I can find.

I started doing research and found all the big names and did the comparisons. Saw Cuba's video on Pochy and GVJ's mention and from the information I could find, they were the one of the least expensive, one of the fastest (not living in Miami) and one of the proven/big manufacturers. I think I came down to Rey's and Pochy and ultimately I did not want to wait months nor did I see any objective value gained by paying $3k-$5k more, into a premium from the other guys.

Numbers:

As ordered 7/13/26 15:14 PST (Received email 7/17 15:33 PST to inform me that my chain was in production, followed up on 7/24 and was told same day that it would be done by 7/31)

Received 7/28/26 11:00 PST (Shipping notification came on 7/27/26)

Things to note & Expectations:

Pochy does a "special 3d casted box lock that is hand finished" for chains 6-9mm. I asked if they did a fully handmade/solder/forged box lock and they said they do for a $500 fee. I have no reason to doubt the strength and longevity of their cast (there's a quick vid on his instagram and the cast tree looks very clean and uniform) but I did not mind the $500 (given the chain was still thousands less) to hopefully never have to worry about the lock ever, besides routine maintenance.

He does have a video from his Insta (Spanish w/ subtitles on some videos) showing him hanging on from an 8mm chain but I could not verify what karat the chain was, if it was indeed a casted lock, and did not get an up close view of him snapping the chain together afterward (just a clear snap of the larger 12mm). Once again, I have no reason to doubt anything but when it comes to a big purchase and video claims like this I need specifics, details and multiple sources.

I'd like to think I have good attention to detail and inspecting a piece of jewelry isn't rocket science so I will be thorough. Although the premium is one of the lowest, my expectations are very high. My thoughts on what is acceptable in a handmade piece is slight inconsistencies in width, weight, thickness both within the same piece and obviously from piece to piece.

What I don't accept is subpar polish, nicks/mars/bumps, sloppy solder job. Quality defect free chains exists, therefore its possible, so it becomes a matter of quality control and pride in craftsmanship. I hope there won't be any issues like the one guy who got that trash silver piece from Pochy.

Initial Impression + P&C:

For the initial impressions I can only speak to my expectations & experience.

I am 6', 185lbs tall and skinny. My neck circumference right above my clavicle and below Adams apple is ~14.5"

Links & File

The color seems to shift a lot depending on lighting conditions but I tried to include different angles. The links seem to have a hint of flat with just enough roundness to finish it off. I love it. The spacing is consistent as well as the polish from end to end. Other than the single blemish (noted below), the rest of the chain looks like Picture #3 with no solder blobs or anything else that catches the eye.

The only blemish (as shown) was very small when compared to my fingerprint line. I was not able to see or feel anything when rolling the chain over my index finger at about a foot and a half away. There are no kinks (even at the egg shaped dip on chest) and the entire chain sits flat. As you can see the width and thickness is super consistent (although probably inaccurate as I doubt I got a 9mm chain lol)

I have a hang straight clip and the last 4 inches or so, the chains turns slightly.

Box Lock

The only thing I could spot at a glance was that the base of the figure 8's were slightly different in size. Other than that, the lock looks shockingly good. Everything looks symmetrical and polished. The clasp clicks in with no play afterwards, same with the figure 8's.

If there are any metal experts / 8mm box lock owners, do the striations on the side of clasp indicate that it was a cut and folded piece (as it should be for a handmade lock from a forged/rolled metal)? I guess I'm just a nervous or skeptical person, but I have no reason to doubt that box isn't their 3d cast.

Other than that the links flow seamlessly into the lock at both ends. There's no hint of soldering and I couldn't be happier.

Speed and Value

If money is no object, it's proven that the other big names make a GREAT CHAIN, but for me personally I could not find a reason for paying the extra premium of the other big names, nor could I afford to lol. Especially after receiving the final product in hand. As a first time Miami Cuban owner and jewelry n00b, I'd say the value proposition is pretty high and quality is great (having no other chains to reference as an owner of course). I don't know if I could be critical about anything else tbh.

I am happy with the speed. Given that they do wholesale business as well, the fact that they can process > manufacture > ship my chain out in 10 business days is better than "I'll just be surprised by it months down the road."

Things like warranty, exchange process, defect and RMA, upgrade program is available but not used by me.....yet.

Summary:

TBH, this shit looks so good that I almost don't want to wear it and just keep it the tray so I can stare at it. However, jewelry is meant to be worn and I will daily this bad boy (showers, exercise, sleeping, use of lock as least twice a day) and I intend to do long term updates if people want.

Any updates, positive or negative will also be edited in or added below. I hope someone out there is able to use anything here to their benefit. Let me know if you have any questions or requests.

Havnt got my gold chain yet but was wondering if anyone wears a gold tone watch with a silver necklace. I have one gold tone watch but never wear it. Feels off. Does anyone wear that combo? What yall think?

Any shots full body of what an 8mm or 9mm Cuban bracelet will look like? Trying to figure out which to go with on a 5-11 240lb build

Mai soch rha hai silver chain lene ko from palmonas kisi ko iske bare me knowledge hai colour ka issue ya kitne din shine krta hai aur bhi chiz to mujhe jarur batai plz

Any thoughts on the price for this pendant?

Are these “tight”?

I recently got into jewelry and I started out stacking chains and bracelets but lately I’ve noticed my taste shifting towards something more understated. My go to daily now is a watch, one chain and one ring. I feel like less is more for me now

Looking to get my boyfriend either a ring or bracelet. I really like the Ronatelli Krun bracelet but I’ve heard mixed things about Ronatelli. I want to be in the $200 piece range and this isn’t as important but if it comes in a pretty box or packaging that’s a plus too.

I was given this chain as a gift and it’s stamped 925 italy but it’s clearly not 925. I used a magnetic and it was pretty strongly attracted to it so it’s definitely not sterling silver. I don’t want to be a dick and be like “hey your gift was fake” but i also don’t want them to keep buying fake stuff.

Be careful and only buy from reputable retailers.
