This is a beautiful gold plated chain that is also very sturdy. I love the design, it's delicate enough to make any pendant look gorgeous, and thick enough to give you peace of mind knowing it won't break and cause you to lose a potentially valuable piece of jewelry.

The one thing I don't like about it is that it "pinches" my hair. From time to time I can feel a hair on the back of my neck get pinched and I've had to just yank the hair out so I don't damage the chain. It's not just where the hook is; but since there are tiny spaces where the links meet, those "holes" manage to catch my hair, no matter how I try to position the chain. The only solution I've seen is if I wear my hair up in a high pony tail, so if that's your preferred hairstyle or if you have short hair, I say go for it :)

It's not really painful -more like bothersome. Beautiful chain otherwise.
