5mm Cuban Link Chain vs JAXXON Cuban 5mm Chain
Both are 5mm stainless steel Cuban chains with lobster clasps, so the real difference is finish and track record. The JAXXON has a far larger review base (7,728 ratings at 4.9) and is the safer bet if you want a proven everyday chain. The Steel Shop piece adds 18k white gold plating at 2.5 microns, which gives a brighter white-gold look but is a coating that will wear over years of daily wear. Buy the JAXXON for durability and confidence; buy the Steel Shop chain if you want the white-gold color and a lighter feel.
- Choose the Steel Shop 5mm Cuban if you want a white-gold look, a lighter chain, and a hypoallergenic stainless base you can wear in the shower and gym.
- Choose the JAXXON Cuban 5mm if you want the most-reviewed, best-proven stainless Cuban chain and don't need a plated white-gold finish.
