Precision Engineering for Every Cuban Link Piece
Repair Your Cuban Link Jewelry to Pristine Condition
Refurbishing a Cuban link chain is much like restoring the tracks of a heavy machine—every individual link must be perfectly tensioned, flattened, and interlocked to allow the chain to lay flush against the chest without twisting. Whether laser-welding a heavy snapped link or rebuilding the locking mechanisms of a box clasp, our Master Jewelers deliver precise engineering to restore your chain’s bold symmetry.
Kink Removal & Link Realignment
Cuban links—especially the tightly packed Miami Cuban style—are designed to lay perfectly flat against the chest. However, heavy wear, sleeping in the chain, or accidental pulls can cause the tight links to twist, stretch, and lock together. This creates an unsightly and uncomfortable “kink” that ruins the chain’s fluid drape.
Do not try to forcefully untwist a kinked Cuban link at home, as this will severely gouge the gold. Our Master Jewelers use specialized, non-abrasive tools to gently coax the heavy metal links back into alignment. If a link has been permanently stretched, we can seamlessly remove the damaged section and laser-weld the chain back together for perfect symmetry.
Heavy Box Clasp & Latch Rebuilding
Because Cuban links are heavy, they require heavy-duty security. Most high-end Cuban chains utilize a box clasp with dual safety latches (figure-eight safeties). Over time, the internal “tongue” of the box clasp loses its spring tension, and the side latches become loose, putting your heavy chain at risk of falling off.
Our Master Jewelers specialize in box clasp restoration. We can adjust the tension of the internal tongue so it clicks securely into place, tighten or completely replace worn figure-eight safety latches, and laser-weld any broken hinges to ensure your heavy chain stays locked safely around your neck.
Iced-Out Cuban Link Restoration
Iced-out Cuban links feature hundreds, sometimes thousands, of tiny micro-pavé diamonds or gemstones hand-set into the face of every individual link. When the heavy chain bumps against tables or other jewelry, the microscopic metal prongs holding these stones can bend or break, causing diamonds to fall out.
Inside our specialized Setting Lab, our gemologists source exact color, clarity, and size-matched replacement diamonds. Our bench artisans then use high-power stereo microscopes to laser-rebuild the tiny broken prongs and securely tension-set the new stones, restoring the seamless, brilliant ice of your chain.
Plated vs. Solid Cuban Links: What to Know
Cuban link chains can be crafted as solid gold or silver, or finished with a gold- or silver-plated surface over a base metal. While both styles can be visually striking, the materials beneath the surface determine how much restoration and refurbishment can safely be performed.
Solid gold and solid silver Cuban links allow our Master Jewelers to perform true refurbishment—including link reshaping, stress-point reinforcement, solder work, and professional refinishing—without compromising integrity or value. Plated Cuban links, however, require a more conservative approach, as the thin outer layer of precious metal limits deep polishing and structural metalwork. In these cases, our specialists carefully assess the chain to determine whether light restoration, selective repair, or re-plating is the best solution to preserve its appearance. For a deeper dive into the science of precious metals, base alloys, and our heavy-gauge soldering techniques, explore our Ultimate Metalworking Guide.
Navigating Chain Restorations
Because the thick, interlocking nature of a Miami Cuban link requires drastically different tools and techniques than a delicate silver cable chain, it is critical to select the exact technical service required for your specific piece.
To ensure your chain receives the exact bench service required, review our routing list below:
Choosing the Right Service for Your Chain
- Cuban Link Refurbishment (This Page): Specialized restoration for heavy gold and silver Cuban links, kink removal, box clasp rebuilding, and iced-out stone replacement.
- General Chain Repair Services: Non-soldering restorations including replacing broken lobster clasps, jump ring alignment, and custom chain extensions.
- Chain Soldering Services: Using laser welding and fire torches to permanently fuse snapped delicate links and repair hollow rope chains.
Master Craftsmen: The 5-Step Cuban Link Protocol
Refurbishing a heavy Cuban link within our laboratory follows a strict 5-step technical protocol to guarantee absolute security and a flawless, flat lay. First, upon arrival at our intake facility, your chain is logged into a secure tracking system with high-resolution diagnostic photography. In our specialized setting lab, Master Jewelers inspect the box clasp mechanics, locate stiff or kinked links, and evaluate iced-out stones under microscopes before issuing an itemized digital estimate.
Once approved, certified bench jewelers execute the required heavy metalwork—whether realigning stretched links, laser-welding heavy-gauge breaks, or rebuilding the clasp tongue for maximum tension. Following structural adjustments, the heavy chain undergoes a deep ultrasonic cleaning and is pressed against high-speed polishing wheels to restore the brilliant, flat shine of the links. Finally, the box clasp and safety latches undergo rigorous tensile pull-testing before being safely returned via trackable domestic shipping.

Have Cuban Link Refurbishment Questions?
It depends on the damage. Solid gold and silver Cuban links allow us to perform heavy soldering and deep polishing. Plated Cuban links have a thin layer of gold over a base metal (like brass), which limits how much heat and polishing we can apply. Our jewelers will evaluate your plated chain to determine if light restoration is possible without ruining the finish.
Yes. Kinking happens when links stretch slightly and get caught on the flat edges of the adjacent links. We carefully realign and flatten the distorted links so the chain regains its fluid movement and lays perfectly flat against your chest again.
Absolutely. A loose box clasp is dangerous for heavy chains. Our Master Jewelers can adjust the internal tension of the “tongue” so it snaps tightly into the box, and we can rebuild or tighten the figure-eight safety latches on the sides.
Yes. Our Setting Lab specializes in micro-pavé restoration. We source exact size and color-matched diamonds (or moissanite/CZ depending on your chain), rebuild the tiny broken prongs using a laser welder, and securely tension-set the new stones under high-power microscopes.
Because Cuban links are heavy-gauge, soldering a break starts at $49.00, and kink removal starts at $44.00. Rebuilding intricate box clasps or replacing iced-out stones requires variable pricing based on the materials needed. We always provide a transparent, itemized digital quote for your approval.
Yes. Every domestic shipment through our platform includes trackable carrier shipping with customizable insurance options to protect your highly valuable, heavy gold chains from the moment they leave your hands until safely returned to your door.
