This necklace is beautiful.  I ordered an 18" & should have made it a 20".  My fault...I didn't measure, I had an 18" for many years and this 18" is shorter.

I would definitely buy this again, just a couple more inches.  I have my husband's thumb print on the medallion I use the necklace for, he passed a 7 years ago.  Very nice connection & silver, chain is very silky.
