The amount of work and attention to detail that making a Cuban chain like this is absurd, as you'll see on the video.
Here are the main steps to making the chain:
00:00 Mixing gold with other metals to make 14K gold.
00:22 Melting gold with torch and pouring into ingot mold to make bar.
01:17 Scanning bar with XRF Analyzer to show gold alloy details.
01:31 Stretching gold bar to form wire (includes annealing).
02:45 Forming and cutting the links for the chain.
04:09 Connecting and soldering links.
05:30 Twisting chain to align links.
07:18 Filing the links to give chain the characteristic flat look.
09:05 Polishing chain.
10:01 Attaching and welding last link of Cuban chain.
11:06 Final chain weigh in (approximately 1000 grams of 14K gold).
12:07 Finished chain!

Price and carats
The chain is 14k and at today's gold prices, it'll be just shy of $50,000.
@@Crmjewelers If you got 50 racks to drop, why not just spend a little more and get it made in 18k?
It's based on personal preference. Most clients come with a set gold quality in mind. 🤷♂️
@@Crmjewelers so the weight is meaning less cause it's not high in gold content, correct?
This is like the ring from lord of the rings but instead of going invisible when you put it on, you just get robbed.

Make it quick release and practise handing it off before you go out of an evening.

For some reason, whenever I’ve seen chains before I’ve always just thought of them as being made mostly by machines, but after watching this I really appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship, and just how human this process really is. The jewelry and expensive clothes have never been my cup of tea, but from now on I was take time to appreciate the craftsmanship of these fine pieces.
These are much higher quality than machine made chains. Thank you for watching! Stay tuned for our 2-kilo chain video. Coming soon!
Most definitely
Agreed
Most mass merchant jewelry chains are by machine, but you can never get this gauge by machine
@@Crmjewelers is that a commissioned piece or will it be for sale?
The part when the bycicle chain looking chain is rotated into a beautiful necklace shape is magical. love it
Where did you see a bicycle chained??
This took me back to my preteen yrs. My father made me go to work every summer vacation at his shop back in the 70s. Taught me all these techniques. Hated it so much I still won’t wear jewelry to this day. But I am grateful fir it. Taught me how to work!!! And saved enough to buy myself a motorcycle.
Awesome Isaiah. Thanks for sharing that story. 👍🙇
3:57 those pan seared links look amazing, perfectly golden brown all the way through, enough oil to prevent sticking, Gordon Ramsey would be proud
It's our secret recipe 😜
😆
those links also look like the gold rings from the sonic games
😂 cookies 😎 #🥇
Bro, I was thinking the same thing. "wow, those seared rings are going to come out nice. Thats an expensive dinner."
Most elaborate ad ever, but im not complaining

Wow! That's incredible! I'll never look at these chains the same way again after watching this video! What an eye-opener!
Wow! I really enjoyed watching this, you all have so much skill and craftsmanship, just even with heating the gold up knowing just the right amount. I amazed, its lovely to see this amazing work! I loved watching it thank you!
Thank you so much for watching Mark!

My man really cooked some gold like he was making eggs for breakfast.
Ha Ha, frying them golden eggs. All kidding aside, that white powdery substance added to the pan with the links is Borax. Borax helps the solder to flow better when the gold links are welded together.
Rofl! Couldn't have worded that any better man! Damn I want one of these chains! Especially after watching how they're made !
Thanks man. Yes, these chains are amazing! 👍

@Gabriel Renovalles all you can eat gold buffet!
I can not believe that you can make such a luxurious golden masterpiece . This is conclusively clear that human's creation and their talent is unlimited.
I can’t, under any circumstances, see myself buying or wearing one (just not my thing) but the amount of skill, time, labor & love that goes into this is truly breathtaking. Your family is amazing and I’m a new sub to your channel. Top shelf content 😎👍🏼
Thank you my friend. Really appreciate the support. 🙏
What a fantastic piece of art. Amazing watching you fashion it from raw gold. Such craftsmanship too.

I like it too but not with the price of gold today, had one slightly smaller in early 2000s.

@@ganeshkeroli94 huh? Not sure what you're referring to.
I'm very impressed with your ability to work such a large chain with so little use of machines. Healthy greetings👍
theres a lot of machines involved for a necklace imo
This was a great video, now I can really appreciate how much work goes into make a Cuban Link.
Thanks man. Really appreciate it!
Amazing chain but I think the most impressive thing about this video is the effort you put into replying to almost every single comment. What a great attitude! 👍
Thank you Damian. Feedback from our followers like you matter greatly to us and that's why we try to respond to most comments. Thank you for your support in helping us get to 1M followers 😉
If you made 40k off each necklace youd reply too.
Yes
LOL, I wish we made $40k off each necklace. Maybe in a fairytale world or another life 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@Crmjewelers I dont think the realise that you don't get the gold for free
I`ve never knew the quantity of work involved in making this cain. Always imagine that there is a machine doing it automatically. Thanks for sharing this wonderful craft !
Thank you Jack. There are machine made chains as well, but never as good as these handmade Cuban links.
Most gold chains are made by a machine.
Wow. Skilled, Professional, Craftsmanship. Amazing to watch, well done.
I have had mine for over 7 years and this makes me want another one great work I never knew how it was made
This is the first time I've ever wanted a gold chain.
Ha, then our job is done!
@@Crmjewelers yess good job bro the only thing is i can't afford it, so this time i did not do a good job
Same bro
me too, I usually never bother about jewellery! but God i want this bad boy so bad! I wonder how much it is?
@@freddygnz9394 Too rich for my blood haha! That would probably feed my family for a month! Thing is beautiful!
The amount of patience one has to craft this all together is nothing but dedication and immaculate skill! Incredible work guys!
Thank you man. Really appreciate it.
@@Crmjewelers
I have never seen anything like that. In stunned by the extreme craftmanship and skill in making this chain and its beauty makes my eyes water. Wow just encredible.
@@Elbaz8 thanks and you're right. These chains are like a work of art.
Elbaz8 *incredible
@Bill Zussman huh? I wish 🤣🤣🤣
That takes so much skill to even pour the gold into the mold, and not loose any by spilling or even overflow.
As a jeweller I truely respect your awesome work , that's soo eye pleasing ........ keep it up ........
I’m impressed ! I need an upgrade.. I really like the idea of not having the lock when the Cuban reaches a certain size Looks perfect 👌🏽
Thanks Anthony. I like the continuous non lock design as well for long enough chains, but everyone is different. Some clients prefer the lock though, like the one who bought this Cuban chain.
Whatever the price is, the amount of care and craftsmanship pays for every penny
About $25,000 for the raw material and add another 10k for labor. About 35k for a chain. I agree though. Nice craftsmanship
It's 14k gold, which is higher than your figure. The actual chain is around $47,000 including labor.
@@alexdimov3623 the Gold alone is almost 35k at today's spot price of 1844. 14k is 58.5% pure.
You said it! This is a artist! Beautiful
@@Crmjewelers 14k gold???!!!
It's not pure gold.
The process of this gold is amazing. I am a avid buyer of platinum and the process takes so much more. Don’t argue the price pay what it weigh. 💪🏾
i dont see much platinum jewelry. my impression is that men like to wear platinum but most men dont wear jewelry apart from their wedding bands and sometimes watches
Awesome and beautiful. I too never really thought of these as aesthetic but this changes my mind big time
Thank you my friend 👍👍
@@Crmjewelers Thanks for sharing this. I love art.
Beautiful final product! Stellar craftsmanship! Tons of hard work going in and i hope people can appreciate the craftsmanship that is still alive in 2020.

Never wanted a gold chain, until I saw this video.

You don't buy these chains from Cuba. Cuban is just a name thing not to be taken literally.

Last time I bought a 10kg gold chain for my cat. You know what my cat just can’t walk or even breathe.🤣🤪
I grew up in Brooklyn and always got my jewelry from some very respected jewelers on Canal St.. Fernando's jewelers on 70 Bowery was where I got my piece made, a 14k cooking spatula patterned after a real spatula I gave the jeweler to make for me.. It came out gorgeous 3 in long and 35 dwt or 55 grams and had paid $600 back then.. I always respected the talent of jewelry craftsman!

I bought one of these from China 🤪
Lol, you got the version that turns your neck green 💚
@@Crmjewelers later they wonder why they get bumps around their neck lmao. But amazing work man
@@emare8404 LOL thanks man.
Artist. Master Goldsmiths. Kudos fantastic craftsmanship:) who knew those golden looking little doughnuts would be turned into a majestic golden piece of jewelery:) Very talented guys :) I would have used a piece of Black velvet to show it off! Other than that Bravo, you guys Rock :)
I really loved watching this video till the end. That’s when I got sad because I then remembered, I’ll never be able to afford something like that Masterpiece… Walking away sad now. Hahaha!
O trabalho e magnífico mas quando passa fogo aparece o metal azulado ,mas é uma linda obra de arte meus parabéns
Muito obrigado 👍👍

This will make you respect those jewelry makers of 2000 plus years ago
Clever folks
2000? We've been crafting gold for over 5000.
Old is gold.
lol at all these people who can't afford one talking about 'not my thing'. Just show your appreciation and keep it moving. No one cares that you can't afford one. If it is not your thing, even less reason to comment imho. Now to the video, excellent craftsmanship.
Thank you my friend 🙏
And to think the ancient civilizations all over the world did this and so much more with gold and other metals. Amazing video thank you

You are absolutely amazing in what you do. Looks incredibly difficult. Don’t let the haters think otherwise.
Thank you so much and no worries my friends. Success is the best weapon against the haters. 😉
I’ve always wondered how these chains were made. I was perplexed thinking how each link was put together. And too top it off, it’s an Andre The Giant chain. Cool video.
Ha, Andre the giant took his to the grave 😜
@@Crmjewelers meant to put size in there. But both work😆
Someone made a comment about Mr.T as well
Best video. 🚀
no fancy "hack"... just real craftsmanship
#TRUTH
Amazing craftsmanship for such a gaudy piece of jewelry.
Que lindo vê a dedicação de toda a equipe focada em um único objetivo transformar o ouro bruto em um belíssimo colar. Parabéns ficou lindo. 👏👏
It is Beautiful I can’t lie didn’t realize how much work put in to it great video.
fantastic and amazing craftsmanship ....so much work ......words can not describe the final result
Mr. T can't stop watching this video
You don't really know the amount of work it takes to make a chain by just looking at it! Amazing work! Respect!
Thank you so much Jefferson.
I can appreciate the exorbitant price of items like this when seeing the craftsmanship that goes into making them.
You are still paying mostly for the gold. Most of the people who own this jewelery don't hold their cash in banks so it needs to be held somewhere.
I think you're generalizing my friend.
@@Crmjewelers how much does it cost?
Given its 1kg of gold or 31.25 ounces which is worth just on the gold value at around$US 60,000 plus the manufacture.
Around $47,000 including labor and materials. The one on the video is 14k gold.
Had no clue so much work went into the chains!
Now that is a well made piece of bling bro !
What scares me the most is this is the level of craftsmanship to just make the chain. I can’t even imagine the level of patience and dedication it takes to get that chain covered in diamonds as I’m assuming someone would need to place each and every diamond on it.
Yes Luis, this takes A LOT of work and skill to make. Adding disconsolate to it add yet another level of complexity and labor.
I love that these craftsmen can take their time and give the material the attention and time it deserves, much welcome in a day where it's all about mass production.
That shot at the end... fuck gold is beautiful
Definitely agree with you my friend. Thanks for watching.
I want this😍🔥🔥🔥 That's worth around 48lac in INR. Amazing work man. Hard work pays off
I'm still can't get over that Daddy Yankee outflexed Jay Z in gold chains
Stunningly beautiful piece of art.
These are some truly talented craftsmen.
I'm going to have to get one

Glad you like it. Thanks for watching!
The process is almost as dope as the chain is.
That's definitely a good way to put it LOL.
Beautiful work
I Love gold jewellery making
Com certeza é uma obra de arte !!!
Muito obrigado.
Commercialism has ruined craftsmanship , this is super underrated .
It takes about 10 total hours to finish a chain like this after you acquire the gold necessary to make it. It's quite labor intensive, not counting the skills required to make it high quality.
Gold Smith's are literally translating the methods taught by the gods as per the Sumerian & angelic teachings .
I agree how much labour and eye for detail is required .. it's fascinating and a form of art to forge a beauty from a raw form.
Many try to create what you have and don't cone close , thoroughly enjoyed this feature .
Thank you for the support my friend 🙇
Same brother ,we also make these type of chain in gold and silver but machine made chain have snatched the value of our hardwork on making these from us
Yes
This has got to be one of those rare cases when then cost of the gold is more than the labor. That is one heavy chain. Nice work fellas.
Yes, the cost of the gold is the biggest part of the total cost. It's always like this unless a vendor rips you off with the price.
@@Crmjewelers or the quality of the materials
@@MarkarthCityGuard gold is gold. The quality of the labor is also important, but it'll never be more than the cost of the gold...or at least shouldn't be.
Keep ìiiiii
Well duh, I heard of auto mechanic
That music tho!
It was so.....fresh!!!!
i used to be a welder, it probably takes a lot of tecnique to weld those links so perfectly
Honestly spectacular work on the chain as well as the editing 10/10 business right here
Thank you so much Jordan, really appreciate it!
Wow, I had no idea of the craftsmanship and process of making these. Makes me wanna buy one.
Thank you Jona 🙇
Seeing it laid out at the end of the video on the toilet paper reminds you just how luxurious this type of jewelry really is. lol (It is fun to watch the process though.)
Your hardwork is more than this Gold chain.
Thank you my friend
Amazing process definitely makes me appreciate the Cuban link chain even more! Hopefully I’ll own one someday!
yes you will own one someday!
Do you Need Accounts Services , Transaction Handle , Payment Handle All Over world?
first time seeing a chain w/o a lock !
I've wondered since a few years if that was possible, because it looks extremely good ! and it's even more sturdy.
Definitely. We make them both with and without locks. Personally, I like Cuban chains without locks better 🤷♂️

Wow that Cuban Link came out Beautiful 🤩 awesome 👏 JOB real Miami style.
Thank you Damian. 👍
I spent 30 years in the business, and I had never seen how Cuban links were made. Also, I've never seen one without a clasp. Great video!
Cool, I'm glad you liked the video. The client who ordered this particular chain did not want a clasp.
The chain is so amazing, I cannot start to imagine the hours and time it took to make it this stunning. Kudos to the craftman 🙏
Thanks man. It took a total of 10b straight hours of work, I'm addition to the time required to acquire the gold.
@@Crmjewelers you deserve all the credit... Well done and please keep making such wonderful pieces ...
Will do. Thank you!
It took 12 minutes obviously that’s how long the video is 😝
Lol, try more like 10 hours. 😜
This is awesome. I thought about getting into goldsmithing but there are no schools near me! You guys make a lot of cuban link chains, I assume you're in Miami?
Thank you! Yes, we're in Downtown Miami.
The beginning to end product is amazing
Thank you. Glad you liked it!
Very nice! The public can now see why a chain like that would cost upwards of 45k. Craftsmanship at it's finest. Wonderfull video documenting how it's done. Bravo!
.... read about gold and what the reserve did to double tripple quad their mula. They took OUR bars n coins and turned it into crap and asked too much then its only worth scrap half the time. Bitchin chain. But 14k? No. Pause when he checked the reading of purity. Its a pot metal chain with gold added too it. BUT DAMN THEY DID A BITCHIN JOB! Looked like pamp gold before melting
More like $63,000...1 Kilo=2.2 lb's...16 ounces per lb=34 ounces...34 ounces × $1,850.00 spot price per ounce=$62,900 not including Mark up for labor and profit...!!!
@@colindavis1496 damn, you're on it. I can tell, coz you just did the math for me. Lol
@@colindavis1496 the owner of this channel said that this one goes for $47k
That's correct, because the chain was made with 14k gold.
This is 1 of the few UA-cam recommendations I enjoyed . Awesome process 🤯
I thought my 300 gram chain looked well in this Cuban link, but this is out of this world. U.K.
Just wait for our 2 kilo chain video. Coming soon! 😉
Very talented thanks for upload very cool to watch from scotland uk
You have given me hope my man. I'm gonna work hard, work smart and one day be able to afford a masterpiece like this. Even something 1/10th this weight would be extremely satisfying to own and wear.
Thank you so much for your comment man. I'm glad that our video has inspired you. Much success to you my friend!
Yeah. The way it's going, I'd invest that money in an AR15, 1,000 rounds of ammunition, and a 3 month supply of survival food.
Goals are personal, not absolute.
I am surprised I actually watched the whole video, but I couldn't stop. lol. That was really impressive work. What a awesome craftsman.
Thanks Kipp. Really appreciate that. 👍
That's the power of gold
