Sell Figaro Chains in Metro Detroit — Paid Today at Westland Exchange
Figaro chains alternate one long link with two or three short ones — an Italian pattern that's been a Metro Detroit staple for decades. They're typically 10K or 14K, often Italian-made, and turn up constantly in estates and jewelry boxes. Missing links or a snapped section don't change what the gold is worth.

What decides what we pay for figaro chains

- 3Solid versus hollow link construction
- 4Whether the chain is clean enough to resell as-is
When you bring figaro chains to our counter at 27842 W. Warren Ave in Westland, the first thing we do is establish exactly what it is. Nothing is quoted from across the room and nothing is quoted from a photograph. We work at the counter with you standing there, and we explain each step as we go — what we are testing, what the test told us, and what it means for the number we are about to write down.
The single biggest factor on figaro chains is gram weight and karat. After that comes italian manufacture (marks like italy, 585 italy, unoaerre) which helps resale, and at the far end of the list sits whether the chain is clean enough to resell as-is — the part most sellers never hear about anywhere else, because most buyers would rather pay a flat rate and move you along. We would rather show our work, because customers who understand the offer come back, and this shop has run on repeat customers since 1987.

A 22-inch 14K Figaro usually falls between 10 and 30 grams depending on width; heavier men's Figaros in 10K can exceed 40 grams. That range is why we ask you to bring everything rather than picking out the pieces you assume are best. The item that looks least impressive in the drawer is frequently the one carrying the most value, and sorting it out costs you nothing.
How to spot it
Where to look for the marks
Small tag at the clasp with 10K/14K/585 and often ITALY. Some older Italian chains carry a numeric maker's code inside a diamond shape.
What to bring
- Valid state ID (required by Michigan law)
- All the gold you have — broken, tangled, single earrings, dental gold all count
- Any receipts, appraisals or original boxes if you have them (helpful, not required)
