Figaro Chain, 2.6 mm, 10K Yellow Gold

This Figaro chain is made in 10K yellow gold. A Figaro chain alternates short flat links with one longer link, a rhythm that originated in Italy. At 2.6 mm it has presence on its own and does not need a pendant. Its construction is solid, meaning gold all the way through each link rather than a hollow tube, so it keeps its shape and can be repaired. Available in 16″, 18″, 20″, 24″. As a guide, at 16″ it sits at the base of the neck; at 18″ it falls just below the collarbone; at 20″ it lands on the upper chest.

At 10K the metal is 41.7% gold; the higher share of alloy makes it harder and more scratch-resistant than 14K. Wear it alone, or layer it with a finer chain at a shorter length.
