Gold Curb Chains

These are probably the most popular and classic gold chains for men. They are more simple, undramatic but sleek, with their flat links. This style of link is more comfortable for the wearer as it lays flat against the skin and gives a smooth polished look. This particular choice has been one of the most popular for decades due to its classic but elegant, simple but durable style.

Gold curb chains are also very solid making them perfect for daily wear. The links are designed deliberately to interlock closely, thereby creating a solid connection hindering easy breakage or snagging. You can choose a thin and subtle or thick and bold type of chain. The thicker version is often selected to make a bolder statement while the thinner styles offer elegance or a good addition to another chain. This curb chain is largely popular because of the versatility it provides for men of any age.

Gold Rope Chains

This style is also very popular due to its textured and more intricate look. The rope design of this chain creates a dynamic look, very pleasing to the eye, as the reflection is able to come from multiple angles.

Gold rope chains are beautiful as well as very robust due to the twisting that adds a layer of strength. They also can be worn as a single piece or paired with another chain or pendant, providing a casual or formal appearance. Both thin and thick styles portray an idea of luxury and elegance without being pretentious, especially with diamond-cut rope chains, which are what most jewelers offer in this style.

Gold Box Chains

This design is more unique, as instead of the more traditional round link, this one, as the name states, is a geometric design of either small square or rectangular links. Gold Box chains give a more modern and sleek look. The straight lines of each individual link make it appear sophisticated but not overly bold. This is a good choice for the man or woman who prefers to be more subtle.

This style is also one of the more durable versions due to the links being tightly connected and therefore less prone to breaking or twisting. They also come in different thicknesses, providing options for elegance or statement or a combination of both. Box chains also pair greatly with pendants for a classic, traditional look.

Miami Cuban Chains

This style is often thought of as the ultimate masculine form of gold chain. The links in this style are thicker, heavier ones than some of the others. This not only portrays a bolder statement, but also offers durability. Miami Cuban Chains resemble curb chains but have a thicker and stronger feel. The links are also somewhat flattened and closer together giving a bit of a chunky look.

5. Figaro Chains

This is a unique, classic style, named after the famous opera character Figaro, created with a combination of three smaller round links interlocked with a longer oval link. The varying link sizes gives a more eye-catching appearance to the chain that sets it apart from some of the others. It also adds elegance to the chain.
