How to Fix a Figaro Chain?

by eiyi E on Jul 26, 2023
figaro chain fix

The Figaro chain is a classic necklace design with flattened oval links connected in an alternating pattern, creating a rhythmic visual effect when worn that is neither monotonous nor disjointed.

However, with prolonged wear, common problems like loose, twisted, deformed, and broken links can occur. To help you better maintain and repair your Figaro chain, this article will first introduce the structure and common issues of the Figaro chain, then provide methods for adjusting chain length, securing link connections, and cleaning/polishing.

Professional jewelry repair services will also be recommended when appropriate. Hopefully the following information can help resolve common Figaro chain issues and restore it to its original beauty.

 

What is a Figaro chain and what are its common problems?

The Figaro chain is a classic necklace design made up of flattened oval links connected in an alternating cross pattern. This unique oval link combination creates a strongly rhythmic chain that looks neither too monotonous nor disjointed when worn. Each oval link on a Figaro chain is flattened, and adjacent links are connected side-by-side then arranged in the alternating pattern, presenting a regular visual rhythm.

However, during prolonged wear, Figaro chains can also easily become deformed, loosened, or even broken due to uneven tension and friction forces. If adjacent links are at incorrect angles or bearing force inconsistently, the links can become misshapen; loose connections between links can also affect chain stability; metal fatigue may also cause links to fracture at the open end. This requires wearers to pay attention to maintenance and care.

How to shorten or lengthen a Figaro chain yourself

Adjusting the length of a Figaro chain can be done yourself.

  • First, use regular pliers or chain pliers to disconnect the end links of the chain, leaving adequate space.
  • Then, remove or add oval links as needed, making sure to keep the openings of every two links facing the same flat side for smooth draping and clear rhythmic effect.
  • When closing the chain, gently pry the links into alignment so each link is parallel with its neighbor.

If the adjusted chain still lacks straightness or rhythm, use a needle file to gently tap the connections between links for finer adjustments. When adjusting large number of links, pay attention to the closure tightness to prevent overall twisting and deforming.

 

Tips for tightening up loose connections on a Figaro chain

Upon finding a loose link connection on a Figaro chain, use small pliers to hold one side of the problematic link, then gently twist it in the opposite direction to realign it with the adjacent link axes. This adjusts the relative angles of the links. Then use a small hammer to lightly tap the link to reclose it.

If ineffective, the gap at the link connection can also be lightly hammered shut with a needle tip. Be gentle to avoid scratching the chain surface. For severely twisted and deformed links, professional jewelry repair is required to prevent further damage.

 

Cleaning and polishing a tarnished or dirty Figaro chain

Minor stains on a Figaro chain can be cleaned with a soft-bristled brush and a neutral detergent solution, then wiped dry with a soft clean cloth. For stubborn stains, pre-soak in a specialty jewelry cleaning solution first before polishing with a buffing cloth.

If the chain is severely discolored or grimy, professional ultrasonic cleaning at a jewelry store may be required for a deeper clean. Regular cleaning can effectively remove dirt and grime, maintaining the Figaro chain's shine and aesthetics for prolonged use.

 

Conclusion

The unique flattened oval links connected in an alternating pattern create a seamless rhythmic visual effect, making the classic Figaro chain design beloved by many. However, improper maintenance during prolonged wear can lead to broken links, deformities, and other issues.

This article introduced the Figaro chain's structural features and common problems, and provided practical maintenance tips like length adjustment, securing connections, and cleaning/polishing.

Hopefully this information can help readers resolve minor day-to-day Figaro chain issues themselves, restoring the classic design to its original brilliance and beauty. For severe damage, professional jewelry repair services should be promptly sought. Let us learn to cherish and care for our Figaro chains, and allow these elegant accessories to shine their utmost!
