Nice quality and it does not have any smell. I put this in my review because I purchased a pack of 3 similar necklace cords from a local store and when I put my pendant on the cord the smell was so horrible that it stunk out the room. Every time my husband got in my personal space he said what's that smell! So in the garbage those cords went. Then I found this seller, and I purchased their leather cord and it is soft, looks great and has no smell at all. I love it.
