The figaro is formed by two curb links followed by a longer oval link.

History.
The name comes from the daring witty roguish barber of seville in the Parisian plays by Beaumarchais. "Barber of Seville" and "the Marriage of Figaro" . The plays were subsequently adopted into Italian Opera by "Giovanni Paisiello" although the later version by "Rossini" is more widely known. The Italian chain-makers named this popular and voguish style as a tribute to those operas and the name has been used ever since.

Taking into account the weight of the silver used, this beautiful and chunky piece of silver jewellery is actually very moderately priced.
