When I buy a necklace chain, I want it to sparkle.  I want it to catch the light and sparkle like crazy.  I hesitated with this necklace, not sure if it would sparkle, or just be kind of shiny as other chains I have purchased were.  Thanks to one of the reviewers who posted pictures, I saw that it looked sparkley, so I ordered it.  I was not disappointed.  This chain is really nice and I am happy I bought it.  Seems to be well constructed.  I always polish it after each wear to keep it nice, and it is holding up well.  Now to find one just like this in rose gold!
