I am now convinced that you don't need to spend big bucks to get that big bucks look. I've heard of stainless steel jewelry for awhile but was skeptical as to is appearance and longevity. The quality and workmanship isn't excellent by any means but, what ever imperfections it might have are barely noticeable. It's a beautiful piece of jewelry as a matter of fact. It is exactly as described from the length to the color/ metal, durable stainles steel construction my husband has used it as his only piece since I got it for him in July 2016 and it's held up extremely well. No allergies no rashes no soon discoloration. I highly recommend this as a cheaper alternative to silver chains and in my opinion better luster and shine. How this helps anyone considering purchasing. I did NOT get this free or at a discount this is my honest review. Way to many people being bought off for their "honest" reviews ruining the whole Amazon experience.
