Why Your Cuban Link Needs to Hang Straight Like a Razor

The Razor Test: The Real Way to Spot a Quality Cuban Link

Let’s be real — a lot of so-called “Cuban link chains” out there look good on Instagram but fail the only test that matters: the razor test.

When you hold a real Cuban link chain straight up in your hand, it should hang like a blade — tight, clean, no twisting, no weird bends. If it’s kinking, twisting, or sagging like cheap rope? That’s not a real Miami Cuban. That’s a chain built fast, not built right.

Why Chains Kink and Twist

Most Cubans that kink are either machine-made or rushed with loose links. When the cuts and solder aren’t tight, the chain will never sit right on your neck. It’s the difference between factory work and craftsmanship.

At Pochy Jewelry, we don’t play with shortcuts. Every Cuban is handmade in Miami, link by link, tightened, filed, and polished by real jewelers. That’s why when you put one on, it lays flat, it hangs straight, and it feels heavy in your hand.

The Miami Standard

Miami made Cubans set the worldwide standard. If it doesn’t come from here, chances are it won’t pass the razor test. We’ve been making chains behind the scenes for other jewelers for years — and now we’re putting the Pochy name on it. That means no excuses, no imports, no hollow links.

Don’t Settle for Twisted Chains

When you drop thousands on a Cuban, you want something that looks sharp every time you put it on. Don’t waste your money on links that kink after a month. A Cuban should last a lifetime — and still hang straight on day one thousand.

Final Word

If your Cuban doesn’t hang like a razor, it’s not the chain you deserve. Period.
