Which is better for a pendant?

The box chain. Its fine widths and six lengths suit a small pendant, and it costs far less. The Figaro's 6.5mm links are heavy for most pendants.

The Jared Figaro has more metal and a lobster clasp on a thicker chain, so it should hold up better to daily wear. The box chain's thinnest sizes have reported clasp-loop breakage.

Is the Jared Figaro worth the extra money?

Only if you want a 6.5mm chain worn alone. At $375.00 versus $107.09, you pay for visible size, not for better ratings; the Figaro scores 3.3 out of 5.

Which is better for everyday wear?

The Figaro, because thicker links resist strain. The box chain is better saved for pendants and lighter use.

Do both come in 22 inches?

Yes. The box chain offers 22 in among six lengths; the Jared listing shows 22 in only.

Is 10K gold good for a chain?

Yes for durability. 10K is 41.7% gold, harder than 14K or 18K, and both chains use it.
