I got this to wear my old wedding band on. (Well, my man-gagement ring, if you want the truth.)  I don't wear it every day, but it doesn't tarnish like silver would without daily wearing. It's sturdy -- I haven't broken it yet -- and it's comfortable. I worried that it would yank out any stray hairs on my neck or chest, and it doesn't do that at all.  The color is not the same thing as silver.  It's the same basic color, but looking at it next to silver, it is not the same as silver. It is, however, silver-like, and without silver next to it, you'd probably never notice that it's not silver. I like the color -- it's a bit grittier and less jewelry-like than silver, and definitely easier to care for.

One note on sizing, though. I wear about a 17.5-18-inch neck size in shirts. I got a 24-inch chain, and it's just fine as a fit, but a little shorter than I thought it would be. when it's around my neck, the chain comes down only two or three inches from my throat. When you're choosing your length, decide how far down you want the chain to extend below your throat. Take that number and multiply it by 2.  Then add the circumference of your neck to that number. So if your neck is about 17 inches in circumference (i.e., you wear a size 17 dress shirt), and you want the chain to go five or six inches below your throat, you'd want about a 26-30-inch chain.

I ordered another chain, this time a 30-inch one, because I want the option of something longer.  That doesn't mean I'm remotely dissatisfied with my 24-inch chain.
