Sell Cuban Link Chains in Metro Detroit — Paid Today at Westland Exchange

Cuban links — flat, interlocking oval links, sometimes called Miami Cuban — are the heaviest gold chains we handle. A solid Cuban in 14K is often the single most valuable item a customer owns. We buy them plain, diamond-cut and iced, in every width from 3mm to 20mm.

What decides what we pay for cuban link chains

  1. 1Gram weight, which on a solid Cuban can be enormous
  2. 2Karat — Cubans commonly come in 10K and 14K, with 18K and 22K imports
  3. 3Solid versus hollow (hollow Cubans are common in larger widths)
  4. 4Set diamonds or CZs — real stones add value, CZ does not

When you bring cuban link chains to our counter at 27842 W. Warren Ave in Westland, the first thing we do is establish exactly what it is. Nothing is quoted from across the room and nothing is quoted from a photograph. We work at the counter with you standing there, and we explain each step as we go — what we are testing, what the test told us, and what it means for the number we are about to write down.

The single biggest factor on cuban link chains is gram weight, which on a solid cuban can be enormous. After that comes karat — cubans commonly come in 10k and 14k, with 18k and 22k imports, and at the far end of the list sits set diamonds or czs — real stones add value, cz does not — the part most sellers never hear about anywhere else, because most buyers would rather pay a flat rate and move you along. We would rather show our work, because customers who understand the offer come back, and this shop has run on repeat customers since 1987.

A 20-inch 10mm solid 14K Cuban can weigh 150–250 grams. Even a modest 8-inch solid Cuban bracelet frequently runs 40–80 grams. That range is why we ask you to bring everything rather than picking out the pieces you assume are best. The item that looks least impressive in the drawer is frequently the one carrying the most value, and sorting it out costs you nothing.

How to spot it

Where to look for the marks

Clasp tag or the box clasp itself: 10K, 14K, 585, 750. Many Cubans are stamped on the small oval plate soldered to the last link.

What to bring

  • Valid state ID (required by Michigan law)
  • All the gold you have — broken, tangled, single earrings, dental gold all count
  • Any receipts, appraisals or original boxes if you have them (helpful, not required)

There is never any obligation. We will test cuban link chains, tell you the number, and hand it straight back if you would rather think about it, shop the offer around, or keep it. Plenty of people do exactly that and come back a week later — that is completely fine, and you will get the same welcome the second time.

Sell it outright

Sell outright for the highest cash amount today, or pawn it and get it back — pawn loans on gold are the easiest loans we write because the value is objective and the item stores in our vault.

We are open monday – friday 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM and saturday 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM, with free parking right at the door and no appointment needed. If you would like a sense of the number before you drive over, call (734) 425-0450 and describe what you have, or send photos through the quote form and we will come back to you the same day.

Or pawn it and keep it

If you would rather not part with it permanently, a pawn loan on cuban link chains gives you cash today while the item stays tagged and insured in our vault. No credit check, nothing reported to any bureau, and the item comes back the moment the loan is repaid. We will lay out both numbers — the outright offer and the loan amount — and let you choose.

FAQ

Cuban Link Chains questions, answered.

How much is a solid gold Cuban link chain worth?+

It comes down to grams and karat, and Cubans are heavy — we've paid four figures many times for a single chain. Bring it in and we'll weigh it in front of you.

Do you buy iced-out Cuban chains with stones?+

Yes. We test the stones — genuine diamonds are valued and added; cubic zirconia adds nothing, but the gold underneath is still paid in full.

Can I pawn a Cuban chain instead of selling it?+

Very common. A heavy Cuban is ideal collateral — it's easy to value, it's stored in our vault, and you get it back when you repay.
