Tennis chains are generally thinner, single-strand metal necklaces that come with a row of diamonds inlaid from end to end. They look great, but if you want a thicker chain that is synonymous with hip hop culture, a Cuban link is the way to go. These necklaces are made of looped, interlocked pieces that sit neatly together and create that signature aesthetic that you've seen time and time again. You'll find that Cuban links are quite a bit larger and heavier than tennis chains: we stock some that are over 500 grams. Learn more about Cuban Link Chains and Tennis Chains here!

Although the raw materials come from a factory, our jewelers go through the difficult task of hand crafting these signature pieces to ensure that they meet our strict quality and durability guidelines. We think that the extra effort is worth it, since if you're going to create something with VVS clarity diamonds, sterling silver and gold, you might as well do it properly. No two necklaces that come from Ice Cartel are the same: they're all hand crafted and done so by people who know exactly what they're doing.

Yes: every single piece of jewelry that is crafted at Ice Cartel utilizes VVS diamonds. This is an important aspect of our business and why our aesthetic and iced out Cuban link chains are better than what the competition has to offer. Note that all of our products come with an official GRA grading certificate that certifies that our moissanite diamonds are what we say they are. This should give you the utmost confidence with buying and choosing Ice Cartel to be your jeweler of choice for real iced out Cuban link chains.

You can: if you look at our 'pendant' section, you'll find a range of different attachments that we can attach to your Cuban link chain. Compatibility is available across every chain and every pendant: our jewelers will ensure that it's safe, secure and exactly what you ordered. Note that customization does come with a slightly longer shipping time: expect a slight delay so that we can get a master jeweler to spend time on your request. Pendants range in price from around $150 through to $1,000.
