Celtic Knot Cuban Link Bracelet or Chain, 925 Silver

The Celtic knot is a design of interlaced loops with no beginning and no end, historically a symbol of continuity and loyalty. Here it is worked into a Cuban link, the thick, tightly packed curb style that sits flat and heavy on the wrist. The two together give a bracelet with weight and texture even before the stones are counted. Iced out means the links are set with stones, and the build is 925 sterling silver with a box clasp, made for men's wear.

Three stone and metal builds are listed, and the difference is worth knowing. The S925 moissanite version is the one to buy for longevity. Moissanite rates 9.25 on the Mohs scale and has a refractive index near 2.65, so it keeps its polish and flashes more than most stones. The S925 CZ version uses cubic zirconia, which is softer and less fiery but costs less. The copper moissanite version has the same stones on a copper base, which is cheaper again, and the plating on it will wear sooner than on silver.

The listing covers both a bracelet and a chain. Bracelet lengths are 6.8, 8 and 9.5 inch, and the necklace lengths start at 18 inch and run through 20 and 22 inch and beyond. Measure your wrist and pick the bracelet length that leaves a finger of room, which for most men is the 8 inch. Finishes are silver or gold colour.
