You never are entirely sure what jewelry will look like when you order online, but you will not be disappointed with this purchase! When I first opened the box the first words out of my mouth were WOWWW! It was so beautiful and it was bold and sturdy, but in a girly way! I have a beautiful pendant and chain that my husband had gotten me, but the chain that came with it always made me nervous, like it could not take an accidental tug without breaking. When I saw this chain I knew that this was exactly what I needed and I couldn't wait to put my pendant on it. When my husband came home he noticed it immediately! He loved it too, and was so happy that I "upgraded" the necklace I had gotten from him. So far, I have purchased 2 chains, one is 16" and the other is 18", so I can wear 2 chains at once! I love them both! I'm wearing the 16" chain right now! Love them!
