I bought my MIL a necklace for her birthday and almost immediately the thin chain broke. The pendant had a really small opening, and I spent weeks trying to find a replacement chain that would fit the pendant for a decent price. I found some at jewelry stores, but they wanted more than the pendant and the original chain combined! So I took my chances on-line and found this chain. It's very pretty, very thin and fit perfectly. It really accents the pendant. Hopefully, it is durable, but only time will tell. I have a similar chain on a diamond pendant that I have worn regularly for over 5 years and have never had an issue, even when my then very young son would pull on it.
