Though it's a tad overpriced, I figured that it was a good investment because I tend to put one necklace on and leave it sometimes for years. This is my "everyday" necklace and I get at least one compliment on it every week, even from people who have seen it multiple times. The chain looks delicate, but it hasn't broken after numerous showers and hair washings. I would have preferred a shorter chain but this one does seem to work with most outfits.
