4 Cuban Link and Pendant Combo Ideas to Rock this Summer

Spring will be ending before you know it, which means it’ll be time to break out our favorite summer fits. If you’re looking to add some extra drip to complete your look this summer, you can’t go wrong with a Cuban Link chain paired with a quality pendant. 

Whether you’re new to the jewelry game or you’re a longtime collector looking for a new piece that inspires you, this guide is for you. We’re going to cover some of the dopest summertime combinations for Cuban Link chains and unique pendants that you won’t find anywhere else. 

First, though, let’s select the chain. 

Choosing the Perfect Cuban Link Chain 

Cuban Links are timeless and iconic pieces that upgrade any fit with ease. Whether you’re icing out your look or rocking a sleek, traditional plain gold finish, you’ll be drawing attention with a quality piece around your neck. 

There are multiple styles of Cuban links that can be paired with pendants, though. If you’re still trying to decide the best chain for your look, here’s a quick rundown: 

3mm Micro Cuban 

A 3mm Micro Cuban chain retains the same timeless look as a 5mm but with smaller links and a more narrow profile. These chains add a perfect touch of drip and can fit most, if not all, pendant styles.

4mm GLD Signature Cuban

Sitting between 5mm and 3mm, we have our unique GLD Signature Cuban Link chain. With even tighter links that are custom designed and molded, it adds an updated twist on the classic style and offers something that sits between a traditional and micro Cuban. 

Micro Diamond Prong 

Measuring in at 5mm, the Micro Diamond Prong chain is constructed with hard-angled links and flooded completely with hand-set stones for an eye-catching shine. If you’re looking to make a statement without getting too loud with your fit, a Diamond Prong link is a perfect choice. 

Pendant Styles to Pair with Your Cuban Link Chain This Summer

1: Water and Beach Themes 

What goes better with the summer heat than hitting the beach or kicking it poolside with an ice-cold drink in hand? Water-themed pendants are a seamless pairing with any Cuban Link chain when the temperature starts rising. 

If chilling beachside is your goal for the summer, you can’t go wrong with an Iced Palm Tree to complete your fit. For anyone that wants to rock something with a more nautical theme, you can also check out these other pendant styles: 

• Neptune Coin 
• Iced Anchor
• Compass
• Pirate Coin

Nautical pendants blend a traditional style with modern shine and stone settings to make a bolder statement. You’ll be ready for wherever your adventures take you. 

2: Turn Up the Heat with a Desert Theme

Though we love our home city of Miami, summer isn’t about coastal living for everyone. You can also add some heat to your fit with a desert-themed pendant such as an Iced Pharaoh, Horus Pendant, or an Ankh Cross. These pieces are all meticulously crafted to pay tribute to the rich artistry of ancient Egypt with an updated aesthetic that will enhance your look. 

3: Make a Statement with Plenty of Shine 

Summer is the season of bold outfits, bright colors, and being noticed. What does that better than a pendant designed to make a statement? Let ‘em know that you can’t be replicated with a 1 of 1 Pendant or that you’re playing for keeps with an exclusive Born 2 Win Pendant. 

4: Keep it Classy with a Year-Round Staple 

Prefer a piece that looks good, no matter the time of year? We got you. 

When the sun is shining bright, having a go-to pendant that captures plenty of light never hurts your fit. Add a Diamond Cross to your chain for an instantly recognizable statement piece, or add a new dimension to your shine with a bold Iced Rock featuring an oversized center stone.
