Gold-tone or silver-tone Figaro? Choosing the color, and keeping it

Every Figaro chain we offer comes in gold-tone and in silver-tone, so once you have picked the style, the color is the last decision. It matters more on a Figaro than on most chains, because the long link catches the light and shows the color clearly. This page helps you choose between the two finishes and explains how to keep a gold-tone Figaro looking right. For the gold-tone sizes, model by model, see our gold Figaro chain sizes page.

What each finish is

  • Gold-tone: stainless steel or titanium steel with a gold-tone plating. The color is a surface finish on steel, not gold metal.
  • Silver-tone: the same steel, polished and left bare. There is no plating, so nothing to wear off.
  • Black: offered on one Figaro piece only, the Figaro Chain with Cross Pendant.

One limit to know: the 6 mm Figaro Chain Necklace comes in gold-tone at 18" or 20" only, while silver-tone also offers 24". For a 6 mm gold-tone Figaro at 24", take the Figaro Link Chain Necklace, which offers every width from 3 to 6 mm and every length from 16" to 26" in both colors. To compare the silver-tone side, see our silver Figaro chains.

Keeping a gold-tone Figaro looking right

  • Shower, gym, sea and pool are fine. Rinse the chain in clean water after the sea or the pool and pat it dry.
  • Perfume and chlorine wear the plating over time: apply perfume first, let it dry, then put on the chain.
  • Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid polishing cloths and jewelry dips, which can strip a plating.
  • Store it flat or hung, apart from other chains, because the long links are where rubbing shows first.
FAQ

Gold or silver Figaro FAQ

Is the gold-tone Figaro made of gold?

No. It is steel with a gold-tone plating, at a steel price, and it can be worn every day.

Can I mix a gold-tone Figaro with silver-tone pieces?

Yes, if it is deliberate: one color on the neck, the other on the wrist. Two chains of different colors on the neck are harder to pull off.

Will the gold-tone fade?

With time and friction the plating can soften, mostly at the long links. The habits above slow it down.

What if the color is not what I expected?

Return it within 30 days. Every chain has a 1-year warranty against defects.
