Figaro Chain - Frequently Asked Questions
Where are your Figaro chains made?
Our Figaro link chains are made in Italy, which is home to some of the finest goldsmiths in the world and you will notice the quality as soon as you set your eyes on them. We set out to provide the highest quality chains direct to your door without the excess markups seen across the jewellery industry.
Why is it called a Figaro Chain?
The Figaro chain may have originated from Italy and the name of the chain was inspired by the popular Italian opera The Marriage of Figaro. The Figaro is a flat linked chain similar to the cuban chain but comprises three circular links interlocked followed by a single elongated rectangular link.
Why are Figaro Chains so popular?
The Figaro chains are one of the most popular of the chains due to the unique standout look compared to regular cuban or curb chains. The Figaro chain was first created in Italy and has since become one of the top choices for both men and women.
How do you wear a Figaro Chain?
A Figaro chain can be worn by itself to uplift any outfit or you can layer your Figaro Chain with other types of chains for a personalised look. We recommend pairing a Figaro chain with a Figaro Bracelet or smaller Cuban chain.
Are Figaro chains durable?
Given the pattern of chain links, they are solid and durable chains. There are other more durable chains like the Cuban link chain but generally most people find they don’t have many issues with a Figaro chain long term.
