Most of the Cuban link chains are made out of pure and solid gold. Some of these chains are also studded with gold all over them as well. All of the chain links are made out pretty broad, the links are tightly bound - so you can imagine the amount of gold required to make one of these chains. And on top of that if you need one with diamonds studded on it, then it is evident that such a chain would not come cheap. Gold and diamonds are some of the most costly materials found on the planet and as such these Cuban link chains are pretty expensive too. You can, however, get many gold-plated variants of these Cuban link chains that are pretty affordable and will not be too heavy on your pocket as well.
