Got this necklace today to replace one that came with a chewable jewelry necklace I got 2.5 years ago.  The original necklace broke quickly.  Now that I have another baby I wanted to try it again so ordered this necklace to hold the chewy.  I ordered this necklace at 24" and am very pleased with the length.  I think that having the necklace longer with help the baby be able to play with the chewy without having to pull on it- so I'm hoping this one will last.  The hook on the end isn't tight but I should beable to close the gap a bit with a wrench.  There was a bit of fraying on the necklace, so i do think it's overpriced for what you get, but I would purchase again bc it's the only necklace that goes well with the chewable jewelry.  I'm not thrilled with it, but am content with it =0)
