Better than expected. I bought this for a ring I bought in the Caribbean that turned out to be too big after I lost some weight. I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality. It's very delicate and very beautiful. Would defintely recommend.

    I love this chain. Exactly what I wanted. Light and dainty. I wore it for a year and a half, without taking it off but once or twice. Held two featherweight charms. No problems. (I broke it by accident, at no fault of the chain.) I will be buying the same chain again.

    I'd like to mention that while it is quite durable, it is very lightweight. It can reliably hold charms or pendants equal to or lighter than its own weight. Anything heavier and chances are it will not hold up.

    I have not had this necklace long. I bought it for a very special opal pendant my husband had made for me. The chain was very light and I liked it, but something happed while I was putting grocery’s in the trunk. I got home and noticed my pendant was in one of the bags (thank Goodness it was not lost!!” )
    The chain had broke probably in the parking lot and it was so light weight I didn’t even notice it was gone.
