I bought this chain necklace to use with a pendant I have, but it is pretty enough to wear by itself or along with a shorter chain and pendant.  It is sterling, and the style of chain links are more intricate, which gives it a nice sparkle.  Everything was packaged nicely in a satin ribbon-tied, silk bag and boxed ready to wrap.  The shipping was fast and on time and I wouldn't mind having this same design in a 30 inch as well.
