Mens Figaro Chain Necklace

Figaro chain necklace length: from 16 to 26 inches

The Figaro's pattern, three short links and one long, shows best when the chain lands in the right place. Too short and it disappears under the collar; too long and the long links lose their rhythm against a t-shirt. This page is a length guide for our Figaro chain necklaces: where each length sits on a man, and which Figaro offers it. For the style itself and the width choice, see our men's Figaro chains.

All our Figaro necklaces are stainless steel or titanium steel, in bare polished steel (silver-tone) or with a gold-tone plating; the Figaro Chain with Cross Pendant also comes in black.

Where each length sits

The Figaro Link Chain Necklace covers every length from 16" to 26", in 3 to 6 mm. The Figaro Chain in Stainless Steel (3 mm) runs from 18" to 24". The Figaro Chain Necklace in Stainless Steel (6 mm) comes in 18", 20" and 24", with 24" in silver-tone only.

Length and width go together

• 3 mm: any length works. At 22" or 24" it carries a small pendant.
• 4 to 5 mm: 20" or 22" shows the pattern best, at an open collar or over a t-shirt.
• 6 mm: 20" to 24". A wide chain sits a little higher on the neck, so it needs the extra length.

Planning to hang a cross? See our Figaro chain necklaces with a cross, sold on 50 cm (19.7") or 22" to 24" chains.

Find your length at home

Put a string around your neck where you want the chain to fall, mark it, and measure it flat. Compare it with the table. If you are between two lengths, or your neck is broader than average, take the longer one. To layer two Figaros, keep about 2 inches between them, for example 20" with 22" or 24".
