What is a Figaro Chain?
These mutant chains are different from the usual chains but are often misunderstood as curb chains. However, the history of Figaro chains is pretty unique. Figaro chains originated in Italy, and since then have been prominently crafted by the Italians.
The name Figaro came from the famous Italian operas “The Barber of Seville” and the “Marriage of Figaro.” Figaro chains were and are usually worn by men with crosses or medallions. In the 18th century, its simplistic design and durability became very famous among Italian men.
The chains were usually seen worn by high-class men. They wore figaro chains while watching the opera Figaro in action.
How to Style a Figaro Chain?
A Figaro chain is an Italian design with a repeating pattern of short links and one longer link, often three short to one long. It is flat and lies close to the skin.
A curb chain uses links that are all the same size. A Figaro chain alternates short and long links, which gives it a more patterned look.
