I daily a 9mm 22" perfect length in my opinion because its long enough to stay outside of your shirt without slipping inside your collar. I feel like 20" youll spend most of your time pulling the chain back out of your shirt. 8mm IMO is the smallest mens daily wear size

My first chain was a 7mm 22 inch. I’m 6’0, 170 and jacked. I prefer the 5mm 20 or 18 inch, and my daily chain is my micro Cuban, 3mm 14k 18 inch. I like where it sits on my upper chest, by my collar and it’s very low key but very present. Goes great with a tank, Henley, or an unbuttoned dress shirt

I have 3 strategies for my chains. A single 8-9mm, 24in is my minimal wear. I add a 4-5mm, 26-28in as my normal daily, may add a modest pendant (big pieces annoy me when I walk). When I wanna be bold and flashy, my daily gains a 14-16mm, 20in. Possibly 12-14 if it's iced out, but I don't have one of those yet. Additionally I wear a 8mm bracelet daily and will add a bolder bracelet to it on occasion.

I absolutely love wearing jewelry every day. I wear thick chains thick bracelets, but, when I work, I tend to have thinner pieces that are not so chunky but for my every day where I wear chunky bracelets and necklace I always look at it. This way is great for every day if you’re going to work, especially in the environment that I work as a pianist you wanna look great but also you want your jewelry to fit your dress clothes so your dress clothes are gonna be a little thinner than your casual clothes the same thing with your jewelry that’s the way that I see it Every day. It’s great to wear the chunky stuff but when you’re working, it’s great to wear the thinner jewelry just like my watches. I like to wear big chunky watches but with work for me it’s a little different. I like the big watch on my wrist when I work I had to subscribe because I love this video.

I've owned micro cubans (2mm, 2.5mm and 4mm) as well as 5, 6 and 7mm. It does really depend on your build. I've found that 4mm is minimum for daily solitaire wear as smaller chains are bit harder to see the design so 4mm looks tight links and great. 5mm is my daily now and no complaints.

Started my mission early 2023 and finished early August 2023. I'm done I'll take them to my grave total weight around 1.4 Kilo all came in well over purity/karat and workmanship above anything I've seen in recent years, thanks to Grimal first one and all the rest by way of GJM ! Oh as a bonus got my daughter a 6mm 20" 14K white gold hand made box lock laser engraving with diamond button with super tight links from of course GJM. **Added--maybe I'll give Gus a shot on a Tri-color yellow, white, rose every three links in that order as a statement piece.

It also has a tendency to flip and twist on the neck bc it doesn’t have the surface area to make contact with the body and stay in a flat laying position. It still gets noticed a lot by other people as a daily wear but nothing compares to the 10mm.

I loved the cuban link chain but sadly I already have one chain customed design that kinda look like a yacht chain but it actualy figure 8 link (5mm) solid 24k…. I paired it with cuban link bracelet (10mm) 22k for daily use and surprisingly the effect is causing my chain to look bigger 😅😂🤣😉…. So to those who are thinking to buy a small cuban link chain don’t worry if u paired it with a big bracelet u will have that affect….. and beware some jewelers will charge a lil bit more for small size 5mm or smaller because it take more time, effort and skills to do the small one but one would be amazed with the results and looks. I dunno why some design look nicer in small diameter.
