I've been using the 1PC 100cm DIY Purse Chain With Buckles from Blingcharming for 90 days as a mens gold necklace cuban link. I was curious if it could work as a stylish, affordable alternative to pricier options. Here's my day-by-day breakdown...
Before I dive in, keep in mind that super cheap jewelry often means lower quality. I was prepared for some wear and tear, but hoped it would last at least a few months. I was mainly looking for a cool style without breaking the bank.

I saw some real buyer photos online before buying. They helped me understand the true size and finish of the chain. Always check those reviews!
The chain arrived quickly. My first thought was that it was surprisingly shiny for the price. It felt light, but not too cheap. The buckles seemed sturdy enough.
My initial plan was to use this chain as a mens gold necklace cuban link. The length seemed perfect for a slightly longer style. I wasn’t sure about the buckles, but figured I could always remove them.
Verdict: Decent first impression, especially considering the price. Ready to try it out!
Wearing the chain every day took some getting used to. It was lighter than my usual necklaces, which was a plus. However, the color was a bit bolder than I normally wear. I felt a little self-conscious at first.
Here's what I noticed:
I considered removing the buckles. But after a week, I learned to adjust them so they didn’t snag as much. They actually added a little bit of personality. To find similar products and perhaps a true mens gold necklace cuban link, you can check out this shop link.
Verdict: Comfortable to wear. Buckles are a minor issue. Style is growing on me.
