I love stainless steel. It never tarnishes. Im allergic to a lot of jewelry and never with stainless steel. I have spent hundreds on Montana sterling silver jewelry and it always tarnishes. My husband bought me a $200 white gold chain, it cut my neck and pulled my hair. He had to return it. I ordered this chain for $15, and love it!!! They even send it with extra little bags for your other jewelry. I recently ordered a anklet from same company. Very impressed!!!
