Loved the way it looked and felt, and was so excited to slip a pendant on and wear it. Before I even got it latched, the "eye" end popped right off the cord. Fortunately, I used to do a lot of beaded jewelry and had the right tool on hand to reclamp it, but it's a little disappointing to have an item break immediately. It could be just the one I received. Stuff happens. That said, now that it's fixed, it works with a number of pendants, hangs at a great length for me, and I'm happy! The price is right for silk and sterling, and I'd order another, but only because I know I need to check the security of the ends and have the tool to clamp them if needed.
