My first experience with truly wishing I could give this less than one star. This chain is NOT sterling silver. Authentic sterling silver, even brand new, has a gray color while most fakes are a bright white hue. This chain is most definitely bright white - see photo comparing it to the actual sterling silver piece I was hoping to wear it with, this chain is nearly as white as the lining of the jeweler's box of my pendant!  Truly disappointed because this chain has a nice weight, the length was perfect and it seemed solidly made. Aside from it being a completely different color I (and many others) have a serious metal allergy and can't risk wearing anything that is not sterling - shame on the seller for trying to pass this off as sterling silver. I've ordered jewelry from Amazon in the past and received some lovely pieces, but it seems there are no guidelines preventing dishonest sellers stocking fake products for shipment from Amazon warehouses and that makes even legitimate sellers suspect as we have no way of telling the difference until the product is in hand.
