I ordered this just recently for I liked the whole horseshoe nail/copper wire appearance of it.  Along with its size,  1 1/2" by 1") which makes it very visible without being gaudy.  The only thing I was a little wary about was the simulated leather cord. The cross itself has a nice rustic style to it, so the cord makes for a nice compliment to it for sure.  I just didn't know if I would like it in favor of a chain.  I have to admit that since I got it I like both the cross and the cord very much. The cross itself is very handsome indeed and well made. And the cord is simply a long smooth piece of waxed cotton cord that is twisted through the cross and then doubled back on itself with a knot on each end that is very easily pulled out for going over your head, and then adjustable to your taste as far as how long you want the cross to hang.  Very nicely done and a whole lot easier than having to clasp and unclasp a chain each time that is of a fixed length.  The only thing I would say that I don't like about this cross is the crown at the top of it that is not a regular loop where it would be easy to substitute a chain.  You would be limited to about a 2MM chain that would have to be snaked through the cross' head if and when the cord breaks or gets worn out, or if you happen to prefer a chain overall.  To be clear, you can substitute a chain on this cross but you would have to use a thin chain that is flexible enough to be wound through the quasi figure eight style crown on the cross.  Also, although this cross is listed as only one cent, the shipping charge makes up for the low cost in price.  And more importantly, there is no discount given for multiple cross' purchased.  So figure the full price on each, which at the time of this writing is still a very reasonable $5.01, shipping included.  A good deal and a very nice cross that comes in a wide variety of colors to suit your favor.  Recommended for yourself, and as a very nice gift as well...
