@@gleyva1243yes they did. Only took about two weeks to get it in hand. They are absolutely beautiful. I will definitely be ordering from Gus again, but this time the gold over silver. Same size chains and length.
That cuban link is so nice. Size is perfect. Miami makes the best Cuban links. Italian cuban links aren't that bad, but the links are loose. They have to have the perfect ratio of tightness. Like the GusVills necklace it's nice.
It all depends where you get it from I have an Italian made Cuban that looks like it was handmade in Miami you would never know to look at it that it’s Italian, super tight links excellent finish work on it and way cheaper than a lot of these other guys are charging.
@@BoostedCruze hard to find good handmade silver Cuban chains in FL. Most only do gold and that may include Gus one day too. Just glad to have them in my collection now.
Wow that is a gorgeous Cuban!!! Maybe instead of DJI, I may go thru GusVilla if they are that good. Also not too big on the bubble type Cubans, it seems that this Cuban from GusVilla is the perfect balance of squared type Cuban and bubble type, The chain looks incredible. VERY very nice pick up!
Thanks. Let first address the hang straight hang straight is myth. Most chains don't necessarily hang straight they have to have some twist. This way, it lays flat around the neck. If not, it will definitely kink up depending on how tight the links are. Now, some chains do hang straighter than others. Agree with you. Gus has come a long way to bring out his modern but yet classic style. The balance you're talking about is genius. I'm from my and have seen hundreds of Cuban links. This was the second Cuban link I ever purchased. I bought a gold one in 1999. I since sold it, which was a huge regret that I live with till this day. When I started searching for my next purchased I stumbled across gusvillajewelry.com, and I looked nowhere else. I wanted a nice gold piece, but the price of gold was astounding higher. To be honest, I never knew that silver cuban links were happening. Miami people only wear gold Cubans. I pulled the trigger and bought a 10mm and don't regret it at all. I have a friend who has about 3 cuban link chains. I showed him my chain, and he almost choked on the water he was drinking 🤣😂 Man, I appreciate your comment. All in all, I can dig the chain. Gotta keep it shiny, though. Haha!
@@BoostedCruze Go to store and wipe with wrights silver cream. Get the round one that comes with like a magic eraser inside. Wipe with that, that's silver polish. There is a difference between removing tarnish and re-polishing, Wrights is best of both worlds.
The links are perfectly tight. Flat but hefty. I have one link that is a little tight towards the lock,but it is nothing to cry about. Seriously, I'm happy about my purchase.
@@BoostedCruze Yea I wanted to ask the same, the links seem very nice, not too tight but no kinking and does it hang straight for the most part? How is the box lock?
U get any kinking at all? I have a 925 8mm silver from Harlem blint and this thing kinks all the time like crazy. Almost annoying really. Really been thinking of getting one from gus
I've owned both gold and silver Cuban links. The gold Cuban cost me 1,100 with a pedant. So you could imagine what it's worth today. I figured I get one made in silver. I stopped wearing gold because of the value. I rather keep gold in a safe. Silver has come a long way, and I wanted to add some more silver to my stack,but I was itching to buy another Cuban, so I decided to get on in silver. I normally would not wear a silver necklace, especially being from Miami, where the gold cubans are superior.I had to make a hard decision.I wouldn't wear any other style of necklace in silver,but when it comes to cuban links id take that chance.The price of silver is at the best time to buy, if you into stacking. I see it as an investment opportunity as well. I pull the trigger, and I'm happy with my purchase. Some people buy gold over silver, but I'm that guy. I love silver, so I bought some in my favorite style necklace. All my friends wear gold Cuban and they were surprised how nice it looked. Trust me, I understand how you feel when you say the more look at them you want one. I tell everyone who asks why silver is? I say, why not? It's still a precious medal,and I really don't unwanted attention. Feel me. It's the right time for it, bro.
Im getting a 10mm chain should I get a 10mm bracelet or go bigger for the bracelet like 12 or 14? This will be my first set. I wanna wear it daily. Id appreciate the help!
It's cool that you're considering one. I really didn't get a chance to. I was parked at a meter, so it was in and out after i tried it on. I would call and ask for pictures of actual chains they have on hand. Good luck with your purchase. I'm thinking of getting my current chain dipped to see how long it holds up.
To add Rhodium I was told it was an extra $295.00 I should just go plain silver right? when you use baking soda chain will be clean again right its not like the chain will stay discolored right?
Truthfully, i never saw pure a silver chain up against the Rhodium chain to compare the two. A silver chain just needs a little maintenance every often, but it's as simple as washing and a little scrubbing with a toothbrush in hot water. The baking soda method is the best way. Tarnish happens with all silver and cleaning it is very easy. I cleaned my chain last night, and it looks as good as the first day I brought it home. A thin layer of rhodium for extra strength and luster. Jewelry plated in rhodium is shinier and more durable than other metals. Rhodium plating does not scratch, dent, or corrode and retains its luster.
That's cool. Not everyone is into silver jewelry. Some people mix and match. It's definitely up to the individual. Wearing high-quality handmade Cuban Links is definitely something to throw in the arsenal. Obviously, we all prefer gold,but silver Cubans look nice and are starting to become more popular. Hey, at the end of the day, it's a precious metal. Thanks for watching. I really appreciate the feedback.
I used it once. The video is recorded in 8k. The scratches aren't visible to the naked eye. 8k gets extremely close. In person, it looks like a mirror. To get the best shine, use bakesoda and boiling water or have the jeweler hit it up for you. Thanks for watching.
You are correct it's not dirt. It's tarnish. This video is recorded in 8k. The scratches aren't visible to the naked eye. 8k gets extremely close. In person, it looks like a mirror.
Cubaknows is insane. You can strip the rhodium and if you polish too much you can actually marr the silver. But they make it shine like crszy as you saw in the video and most also put an anti tarnish costing. Rhodium doesn't make it shine it just makes it tarnish resistant but that doesn't last forever anyways. And no waynhou taking off too much silver off those big chains. A little intricate detailed piece you should be careful with.
Are you happy with the length of both chains? Im torn between getting my 10mm in 24" or 22" I also want to add a 6 or 7mm with it so its a toss up how long I want the 10mm
I love the length. I could have gone a size down. 22-inche is the longest I would wear because I have a skinny neck. 20-inch is the perfect lenth for me. It depends on your neck size. Get a piece of rope, measure, and put it around your neck. This will help you with your decision.
@@karn1689 another benefit of 24" is that you can actually see it while wearing. Seems the style is shorter now tho.. esp for wider chains. They look good layered with a longer/thinner chain (with or without a pendant).
I live in Miami, so it didn't take long. I ordered it, and it was in 2 days. Because they already had the size. Sometimes people dont know what size they want so . The jeweler will tell them what size they have on hand. For you, depending on the availability in-house, I'd say it would be shipped asap. For example, if you ordered a 12mm 18' and have it in stock, you'll get it within a week. If they don't have the size you want. They'll make it. Which doesn't take too long, but it depends on what you want and orders in front of you.
@DK oh that sounds way better than the 6 months gold fever Miami is talking about, thank you so much for taking the time to respond Gus will definitely be where I make my next purchase from.
thats why i had a bracelet made for me using my own silver at a nearby jewelry place. 12mm bracelet made for me using my own silver cost me $100 instead of $300. i know they gotta make money but dayum this aint gold lol.
It was indicated in the packaging. It's a custom piece. Some jewelers stamp their work, and others don't. Just because it's not mark doesn't mean it isn't, but I do understand why you asked. If you ever get a costume, you can ask the jewelry if he can stamp it. Polishing the silver item is a very good indicator of its authenticity.
He just did a video on ig he said he didn't stamp because it varies and isn't required by law like with gold, but never less than 950. He said his bigger pieces are 999 but the smaller pieces are made from the scrap from making bigger pieces. If you want a stamp you can request he laser test and tells you the purity.
Sorry, bro. I don't have a gold plated chain. If I did, I probably would soak it dish soap and warm water. Use a soft cleaning brush . Pat it dry with a microfiber towel.
Thank you for telling us both mm and thank you for showing them stacked together and solitaire.. not everybody does that.. Good video..
You got it, I'm here to help you guys find what you want.
Beautiful. I ordered a silver 12mm 24" chain and silver 12mm bracelet yesterday. Can't wait for them to come in.
Very nice!
Have they came in?
@@gleyva1243yes they did. Only took about two weeks to get it in hand. They are absolutely beautiful. I will definitely be ordering from Gus again, but this time the gold over silver. Same size chains and length.
Gus the goat when it comes to Cubans
Got my 10mm 24" from Gus bout a year ago. Gr8 chain. I dont daily it. Need the bracelet now. Gettin a Cuban from Miami is sooooo true.
I'm stuck between 10mm 22' and 24'. In your experience are you happy with 24' or would you change to 22' if you had the chance?
Miami Cubans built different! The chain links are tighter
That cuban link is so nice. Size is perfect. Miami makes the best Cuban links. Italian cuban links aren't that bad, but the links are loose. They have to have the perfect ratio of tightness. Like the GusVills necklace it's nice.

Man that piece is beautiful.
Got one in 8, 10, 12 and 14.. all 22" in .950. They look great with a 20 or 18" rope, Franco or even a smaller flat curb
Damn! That's drip, Cuz..

Hope you enjoy it. It's gonna be hard to leave home without it on. I wore my to my daughter's graduation it most definitely gets attention.
