A 15mm versus 20mm four-row iced Cuban chain decision starts with visual width, then length and finish. Both current widths share four rows of cubic zirconia, five listed necklace lengths, and a box clasp, so the main question is how much link scale you want.

A public-figure lesson about relative Cuban-link width
In a GQ On The Rocks video released July 23, 2021, Yungeen Ace describes one Cuban link as wider and says he wears it with another chain because their scales fit together. The useful lesson is narrow: relative width and spacing can make layered chains easier to distinguish. The source does not establish a 15mm or 20mm width, a four-row setting, cubic zirconia, any Miles product, or an endorsement.
The 15mm/20mm Four-Row Iced Cuban Chain product page is the source of truth for the Miles options compared below.
15mm versus 20mm: what changes?
| Width choice | Practical decision | What stays the same |
|---|---|---|
| 15mm | The narrower of the two listed options | Four cubic-zirconia rows, five length choices, box clasp, and two plated finishes |
| 20mm | The wider of the two listed options | Four cubic-zirconia rows, five length choices, box clasp, and two plated finishes |
The 20mm option is 5mm wider than the 15mm option. That measurement comparison is exact, but a product image cannot predict how either width will look on every wearer. Compare the listed dimensions with a chain you already own if possible.
Choose the length separately
Both widths are currently listed in 16in, 18in, 20in, 22in, and 24in lengths. Width and length solve different decisions: width controls the size of the link profile, while the listed length controls the overall necklace measurement. Exact neckline position varies with the wearer and clothing.
- Use a chain you already own as a measurement reference.
- Compare its full end-to-end length with 16in, 18in, 20in, 22in, and 24in.
- Choose the width after deciding whether 15mm or 20mm better matches the scale you want.
- Do not infer the pictured length from the featured image.
Four rows, cubic zirconia, and box clasp
The current specifications list four cubic-zirconia rows and a box clasp for both widths. These are construction facts, not promises about stone grade, strength, durability, or clasp performance. Inspect the clasp and confirm it is fully seated before each wear.
Silver or Gold plated finish
The current finish choices are Silver with rhodium plating and Gold with 14K gold plating. The four-row layout, cubic zirconia, width choices, length choices, and box clasp remain part of either finish option.
A simple selection order
- Choose 15mm or 20mm based on the relative link scale you want.
- Select 16in, 18in, 20in, 22in, or 24in using a measured necklace as reference.
- Choose Silver rhodium plated or Gold 14K gold plated.
- Review the current width, length, and finish variants before ordering.
