I like this a lot, both the rope necklace and the look of the clasp, but I have arthritis in my thumbs and do not have the strength in either hand to open the clasp, so I gave it to my sister.  I will order one with a different fastener; however. the reason I ordered this one in the first place is because I liked the look of the clasp better than any of the others I saw.  If I were still young with strong hands I love love this and would give it 5 stars.
