Product Insights
The Maxime Figaro Chain Bracelet by Midi34 is a unisex accessory that blends Scandinavian streetstyle with the hip-hop heritage of the figaro chain, offering a durable PVD gold finish lasting 2-5 years. Designed by Marcus Villeneuve in collaboration with Midi34 founder Jessie Bourgault, it uses 316L surgical-grade stainless steel safe for nickel-sensitive skin. Available in Medium and Large (fitting ~6.5 and ~7 inch wrists), the 5mm width and snap hook clasp ensure comfortable daily wear. At $45 CAD, it undercuts comparable silver figaro bracelets by half, providing a stylish, stackable piece with a secure fit.
