- Is this chain solid stainless steel or plated?
- Chisel lists it as stainless steel, so the silver tone comes from the metal itself rather than a plating that wears off. It will not tarnish or turn skin green the way plated base metal can.
- Can I wear it in the shower or at the gym?
- Stainless steel handles water and sweat well, so everyday wear is fine. Rinse and dry it after swimming in chlorinated or salt water to keep the polish bright.
- What does an 18-inch chain fit like on a man?
- It sits at the base of the neck, close to the collarbone, and works best with an open collar. Men with larger necks or who want the chain to sit lower should look at 20- or 22-inch lengths.
- Can I put a pendant on it?
- Yes. The 5.3mm width and Figaro links hold a small to medium pendant well. Very heavy pendants may pull the chain out of shape, so keep the pendant light relative to the chain.
- How does Figaro compare with a curb chain?
- Figaro alternates three short links with one longer link, which catches light and looks dressier than a uniform curb chain. Curb is flatter and less likely to snag, so it is the safer pick under collared shirts.
- How should I clean it?
- Wipe it with a soft cloth and mild soapy water, then dry it fully. Avoid abrasive polishes, which dull the shine and leave fine scratches on the links.
