Cuban Link vs Franco Chain
Cuban Links and Franco chains are both premium heavy chains — the kind that make a statement. The Cuban Link is flat with interlocking oval links. The Franco has a more complex V-shaped weave that creates a square or rounded profile. Franco chains are typically more flexible and drape differently. Here's the full comparison.
