Is this chain safe for sensitive skin?

It is made of 316L stainless steel, which is low in nickel release and widely used in surgical and body jewelry. Most people with metal sensitivities can wear it, but anyone with a known nickel allergy should test it briefly first.

Can I wear it in the shower or pool?

Yes. Stainless steel resists rust and tarnish, so showering and swimming are fine. Chlorine and salt water can dull the plating over time, so rinse and dry it after pool or sea use.

How does 4mm compare with other Cuban chains?

4mm is a middle weight: thicker than a fine 2mm chain but lighter than the 6mm and up styles. It reads as a solid band without feeling heavy on the neck.

Can I put a pendant on it?

The plain links have no fixed bail, so a pendant with a standard jump ring can be threaded on. Keep pendant weight modest, since a heavy piece can stretch the links.

The chain and its clasp only. It arrives in PROSTEEL packaging, and the brand offers customization service if you want a different length or finish.

Our take on the PROSTEEL Cuban Link Chain Plain Necklace, Black, 26"

The PROSTEEL Cuban Link Chain is a plain 4mm Cuban link necklace in 316L stainless steel, a metal that resists rust and tarnish and is usually gentler on sensitive skin than brass or copper alloys. The links are flat and close-set, so it sits flat against the neck and reads as a solid band rather than a loose rope. It suits someone who wants a simple everyday chain that can be worn in the shower or at the gym without upkeep. Against plated brass chains it trades some high-polish shine for durability; against solid gold it is far cheaper but will not have the same weight or warmth.
