First off, I think there may be some seller confusion about the chain length. As others have said, I ordered the 30 inch chain and it barely clears 24 (which is what my other chain was), so it may be only 26, as the product title says ("...28", 30":: 26 Inch Chain"). That being said, I really do love it - it's just the right length to slip over my big head without having to unfasten it, and the large beads look very good for a man's necklace. I use it for a dog tag.

The BIGGEST reason I love this chain is, for a good price, I got a chain that won't break me out (I'm allergic to nickel). I have worn it all day for several days and even wore it running in the sun and sweating like a pig and nothing has happened to it or to my neck. I was unable to find another surgical steel chain for this price. I highly recommend it.
