The Tiniest Pure 24K Gold Cuban Link We've EVER Made!

This is the first 24K Cuban link chain we've ever made AND the smallest too! Oh, and it was also such a pain to finish, that we probably won't make another one ever again LOL!

This particular chain was made from an assortment of pure gold bars, including five 1-oz bars, two 10-gram bars, and one 50-gram bar. There was 1-oz bar that we had already flattened out for another project to engrave a QR code on it. All in all, the gold bars added up to 225.2 grams of gold, but by the end of the video, after the extra gold weight was filed off, the final chain weighed 105.5 grams and was 6.5 mm wide.

Making gold Cuban chains by hand take a lot of time, work and dedication, but at the end of the day, the quality of the end product is much better than that of machine made chains, as you'll see on the video.

Here are the main steps to making the chain:

00:00 Pure gold bars used to make the chain.
00:14 Melting gold with torch and pouring into ingot mold to make bar.
00:59 Stretching gold bar with rolling mill to form wire of proper gauge (includes annealing).
02:17 Forming and cutting the links for the Cuban link chain.
04:26 Connecting and soldering the solid gold links.
05:30 Twisting chain to flatten and align the links.
06:43 Gluing chain with Shellac glue to board, then filing down to give the chain the characteristic flattened look of a Miami Cuban link.
8:22 Polishing the chain, welding the two end links together, and applying finishing touches.
10:15 Final chain weigh in.
10:22 Betty gets to try on the finished chain. How does she look?!
