Where does the name Figaro for chains come from? Remember – Rossini and his famous operas “The marriage of Figaro” (by Beaumarchais)? So Italian chain makers got used and quickly made use of the name of this well-known opera and started to call chains which had classically 3 circular links and then 1 oval link Figaro Chains. So the birthplace of the most outstanding Figaro Chains is in Italy. And initially this kind of chains was worn only by men, but nowadays it is worn by men (as it looks traditionally masculine), women (to whom Figaro Chains give a sexual boyish image) and even children. The peak of popularity of Figaro Chains was in the 1990s. But today there is a so-called 2nd birthday of this kind of chains and they are becoming more and more popular among the people of all backgrounds.
