I was seeking the perfect chain for sterling silver pendants that were antiqued. I'm an "earth mother" type, and I have several pendants that just didn't work on the silver chains I already had. I came across this antiqued popcorn chain by accident while looking for another 18" chain, and was thrilled. I was even MORE thrilled when it arrived, and I slipped my pendant on it. Seriously perfect! I will be ordering another 18" chain, plus a 20" and 24". I also love the fact that this chain doesn't catch the hair at the back of my neck.
