Figaro

Figaro chains feature a distinct pattern of flattened links, typically one long followed by two or three shorter ones. They’re widely used for both standalone wear and as a base for pendants or charms. Available in sterling silver and gold-filled metal, they work well in traditional and modern settings. Figaro chains are commonly paired with clasp and jump ring fittings and used in conjunction with solder wire or solder paste if you’re integrating them into more complex pieces. These chains are compatible with various design methods, whether you’re working with silver metal clay, gemstones like amethyst or sapphire, or integrating with bails, or beads.
