How My Cuban Link Captured Their Legacy
As told to Roy Jewels.
As a 25-year-old college kid from Atlanta, I've always had an eye for style, especially when it came to something as iconic as the Cuban link necklace. Growing up in a city pulsating with the beats of hip hop, I was introduced to this unique style early on. The music, with its deep roots and raw expression, had a profound impact on my life. It guided my passions, shaped my ambitions, and even steered me away from trouble. Now, as I've been accepted into one of the top music schools in the world, my family wanted to mark this milestone with something memorable. For me, there was no question about it—I wanted a Cuban link necklace, a symbol of the culture that molded me.
The hunt for the perfect Cuban link wasn't straightforward. I spent days scrolling through online sites and visiting local jewelry stores in Atlanta. However, most places felt like they were just pushing products rather than understanding what I was really looking for. It was like talking to a used car salesman—all hustle, no heart. This necklace wasn’t just another purchase; it was a symbol of my journey, funded by the sacrifices my parents made for me. I needed it to be perfect.
That's when I stumbled upon Roy Jewels, an online company specializing in custom jewelry. From the moment I first interacted with their team, I could tell they were different. The professionalism and genuine interest in my story were leagues apart from what I had encountered elsewhere.
I was paired with a designer who, before anything else, took the time to listen to my life story. It wasn't just about what I wanted in a necklace, but why. This level of personal attention was unexpected but deeply appreciated. As we delved into the design process, I expressed my desire to somehow honor my parents in this piece. The designer, with an incredible eye for detail, suggested subtly etching my parents' initials into the link. It was the perfect nod to their influence—visible to me, yet seamlessly integrated into the design without overpowering it.
We meticulously discussed every aspect of the necklace—from the length and height to the exact placement of the initials. The designer asked thoughtful questions about where I intended to wear it, ensuring that the final product would not only meet but exceed my expectations. What impressed me most was how they managed to embody the boldness of the Cuban link while infusing it with personal significance.
