I purchased this necklace on an 18" chain and love it. I have a hard time with the clasp type on the chain because I am more used to lobster clasps than rings, but doesn't deter me from wearing it whenever possible. The pendant is a real eye-catcher without gems and sparkles which is a huge plus for me as I don't like lots of gems or sparkles, but I still want to wear something that grabs attention. This does just that.
