The Figaro is one of the most popular links used in gold or silver chain designs. It incorporates a pattern of 2 or 3 small circular links with 1 elongated oval link. The most notable figaro chains are manufactured in Italy. They are worn by men and women alike and are often adorned with pendants such as crosses and medallions.
The name of the chain is widely used by Italian Chainmakers and inspired by the opera "the marriage of figaro" by Beaumarchais, hence the name of the link "Figaro"...
