This is a good chain.  I bought several chains lately, to find one that works for me.  This is one that does work.  It is thick and heavy enough that it holds the length without slipping, even with a reasonably heavy pendant.  Some lighter chains I bought slipped with heavier pendants.  In the end, it did not end up being the every-day chain around my neck, mostly because I found one even heavier, nothing against this chain.  I really like this one, and use it when I layer several strands.
