Figaro Chain Guide: Pattern, Widths and Styles
See how the alternating long and short Figaro link pattern is built, plus widths, karats and solid versus semi-solid options to compare.
What Is a Figaro Chain?
A Figaro chain is the one link pattern you can spot from across the room: two or three short round links followed by one long oval link, repeating down the full length of the chain. That alternating rhythm is what makes it instantly recognizable, and it's the reason the Figaro has stayed a gold jewelry staple since Italian goldsmiths popularized it decades ago.
Unlike a Cuban link, which is uniform and dense, the Figaro trades a little of that thickness for pattern and movement. The long links catch light, the short links add texture, and the whole chain reads as designed rather than just solid. For buyers who want a chain that stands out without being heavy, the Figaro is one of the best answers in gold.
The Figaro Styles We Make
These are the versions we build and sell, and the differences matter for both price and how the chain wears.
- Classic Figaro. The original round-link pattern. Our gold Figaro chain is the pure version of the style, built to wear for decades.
- Flat Figaro. The same pattern with flattened links that lie flush against the chest. The flat Figaro chain is the dress-shirt-friendly version: clean under a collar, sharp over a t-shirt.
- Concave Figaro. Scooped links that catch and throw light from every angle. The concave Figaro chain is the most sparkly take on the pattern short of setting stones.
- Semi-solid Figaro. Reinforced construction that wears like solid gold at a friendlier price. The semi-solid Figaro chain is the smart pick for wider, heavier looks on a budget.
- Silver Figaro. The full pattern in sterling silver. The silver Figaro chain gets you the style at a fraction of the gold price.
- Figaro bracelets. The pattern works on the wrist too: the classic gold Figaro bracelet and the sleeker flat Figaro bracelet pair naturally with the chain.
