This is a very nice item.  I had crimped my old serpentine ankle bracelet so many times it looked textured..... ha ha.  This rope chain is sturdy, and noticeable but not flashy.  I had to stop and think "I'm a senior citizen" and wearing this.  But then I've always worn them, so it's whatever works for your style.  I'd recommend this item for oneself, or as a gift.
