Figaro chain

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
14 karat figaro chain

The figaro chain[1] is a jewellery chain design consisting of two or three small circular links followed by one elongated oval link. The most notable figaro chains are manufactured in Italy.[citation needed] They are usually worn by men and are often adorned with pendants such as crosses and medallions.[citation needed]

The name of the design may have been[citation needed] inspired by the operas The Barber of Seville (by Gioachino Rossini) and The Marriage of Figaro (by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart).
