The Cuban is a strong, serious, handsome chain with a bent toward heroism. The white gold is a subtle, savvy alternative to yellow gold. Identical links are cut to create light-loving angles. The cuts imply a smoldering passion in an otherwise steady bracelet--the infinite potential of Clark Kent as he enters a phone booth. The Cuban chain promises to rescue small kittens out of trees, and a few scratches latter, enjoy a glass of Rose in the shade of that same tree. The chain is 8 inches long and made of 14K Italian white gold: gold becomes white when alloyed with nickel, copper, and zinc rather than with silver, copper and zinc. Pure gold is too soft and malleable for jewelry so it is mixed with alloys to add strength and durability. The clasp is a lobster claw clasp which is easy to manipulate and very secure.

Customer Rating: Summary: Good Value for money... Comment: This bracelet is a good value for money. It looks good. No issue of color change as mentioned in the other review till now. I am satisfied with the bracelet and would recommend it to anyone who is looking at this item right now. Customer Rating: Summary: Absolutely beautiful! Comment: I couldn't believe the price on this bracelet. I was worried it would be of inferior quality, but it wasn't. My fiance loves it! He's allergic to most metals with nickel in them, but this doesn't bother him at all. It is gorgeous too!! We plan on having it appraised at our local jeweler, so I will update this review then to reflect the outcome of the appraisal. Customer Rating: Summary: Shiny Bracelet Comment: I got this item about three months ago. It's still nice and shiny. I don't see the issue mentioned by the other reviewer. Maybe I'm lucky so far.
It's a little big for me. Maybe I should considering give this to my brother. But overall, it's a nice bracelet. Customer Rating: Summary: bad clasp Comment: Bracelet looked great at first, and for the most part still does EXCEPT the clasp. The clasp has been changing color since about a month after I purchased it. Only worth buying if the price is low enough that you can pay a jeweler to change the clasp. Having the clasp change color makes the whole bracelet look fake.
