The Smelting Process to make .925 Sterling Silver is a VERY exact process. The metals are mixed precisely and heated to an exact temperature. This is then pushed out through the bottom into a .925 Sterling Silver Rod about ½ inch thick. Then the rod is rolled through rollers that stretch out the Silver into a wire that is thinner and thinner all the way down to what is needed to make a particular chain.
We supervised and quality checked each step of the process to ensure our products met with our specific needs before we decided to use that Factory to manufacture Designer Sterling Silver Chains..
The Figaro Chain
Originating in Italy, the Figaro chain is popular with men and women alike, and is known for its flattened links that can vary in size. Usually two or three shorter links alternate with one larger link, adding interest worn on its own or as a support for charms and pendants.
We found these awesome chains at a famous factory in Italy preserving the authenticity of the name FIGARO!
We very much enjoy our business and we completely stand behind all our products. This is one reason we have done well in the sales of our Designer Sterling Silver Jewelry. We love our customers and our customers love us.
We’ve spent years researching, finding, and selling Silver Jewelry from all over the world and we have after these many years settled on Italy as the #1 source for Sterling Silver Chains. Anyone can find silver chains all over. At the mall, at the jewelry store, etc. And many of those also come from Italy.
But our Jewelry is different from all others. It has been designed by us and therefore it is not your normal jewelry. We have spent years listening to our customers talk about what their Ideal Silver Chain would be like. Strong, does not pull my hair, is shiny and bright, does not knot or kink easily, gets me many compliments, and more.
We have scoured the Factories in Italy and there are lots of them. We narrowed it down to just a couple of them who's quality is something we can be proud of and we have branded our own "recipe" to make up these superior chains. Including the exact specifications of cut, color, strength, clasp types and connector ring size, and more. Each of our chains has been designed directly by us and are superior to what can be found in Department and Jewelry Stores.
Mary Elizabeth and I have been in the Jewelry Business for over 30 years and through those years have heard many comments and complaints from people about buying Jewelry from Retail Jewelry stores. We have heard those comments and have set about to upgrade and help our customers deal with some issues involving Sterling Silver Jewelry
One issue is and has always been tarnishing. As an issue, oxidation has been at the forefront of people’s resistance to buy and wear Sterling Silver Jewelry. Silver tarnishes. Some companies for years plated their silver with Nickel which is beautiful, shiny, and does not tarnish. But recently it has come to light that people are many times allergic to this metal. So lately Rhodium from the platinum family of metals was used. There are other coatings which to a greater or lesser extent slow or try to stop the tarnishing process.
However, all the methods have downsides to them. Most notably is the fact that if Silver is plated with a super thin coat of another metal or e-coating or any sort of anti-tarnish agent, its plating starts to erode and come off over time and the result is far worse than simple tarnishing and can ruin the Silver Jewelry altogether.
We opted for a far different approach. We do not plate ANY of our Jewelry with any sort of anti-tarnish coating. Instead we supply (with every order) a simple homemade how-to guide on how to get rid of not only future tarnish on your Silver Jewelry, but this works on ALL Silver - Jewelry Flatware - all of it and it is done with simple household ingredients you most likely already have at your house.
You will get the recipe right along with your Jewelry purchase from us on every order.

Always ensure you choose the one chain that you love most. But of course, you will.

This is the 3rd chain I've ordered from this Amazon store. The quality is phenomenal and each chain is well made and beautiful. This review is for the 22"1.8MM Figaro Chain which is the one with the heart. The shorter rope chain was also purchased through this store and is also amazing! They are very durable - as you can see from what I have hanging from them. I always receive compliments.

well, my issue is too often the fine hairs at the back of my neck get snagged - which is painful and creates unsightly balls of hair on my chains. Not this one! I'm so excited to be able to write this good review.I received this beautiful Italian Figaro link chain today. First I noticed its shine - and that its well-made - and oh, nice clasp! There were a few links that needed straightening when it arrived. No worries. Took a few seconds in good light to work these free with my fingers. I added a medium-sized pendant and have worn it for hours. Not a single snag in my hair! THANK YOU! I'll be buying an assortment of lengths and tossing nearly every other chain I own. And will now be able to wear my collected pendants more often. ;-) Highly recommend this seller!

I'm quite impressed so far. The chain is the perfect width and length for my purposes, and I'll likely be ordering more from this seller in other lengths. I was pleased with the packaging, including a bonus Survival Kit and care instructions. The Amazon product details are current in that my chain has a lobster-claw clasp, even though the product photos showed a c-spring clasp at the time of my order. The seller said they recently upgraded to lobster-claw clasps, so previous customers did get the c-spring. I'm wearing a ring as a pendant, and plan to take off the necklace before sleeping and showering. It's a beautiful chain. I'm hoping the Figaro link won't catch my hair as much as other chain types. So far, I love it!

Bought this June 23, 2023 for my daughter and it’s stayed in perfect condition. She does take it off to sleep and shower. But it’s never tarnished and the quality is excellent. We are buying a new one because she lost it a few days ago.

I've worn my figaro chain daily for 2 years now. I love how delicate it looks, and I'm impressed with how well it's holding up to daily wear.I just bought 3 more!

Compre no 1 sino 3 y son extremadamente defectuosas se rompen sin más , he gastado en soldaduras el equivalente a dos de ellas, se oscurecen con una facilidad , en menos de 24h son de muy pésima calidad, no vale ni el precio ni el esfuerzo.

lovely chain but partial to breaking this was a reorder that did not last as long as the first one. i reordered because my wife liked the chains look but after two i decided to go for something stronger the replacement turned black within two weeks
Randy Schmidt
it looks very nice , is very sparkly, only problem is that it is very hard for me to take it on and off by myself since the hook part is really really small. So unless I ask someone else to help me put in on and off I will not be able to wear it. Other than that pretty good.
